Alessandra Torre

It’s really hard to save a guy’s life when he keeps running from you. You might be asking yourself why I’m waving an inflatable penis in the air and screaming at the top of my lungs. If I took time to explain, Declan Moss would get hit by a bus. Let me back up. I didn’t ask for this. I was perfectly happy—and perfectly sane—before I was tasked with keeping Declan Moss alive. It was a thankless job until the moment that my panties dropped and his delicious smirk found his way in between my thighs. Hello, toe-curling ecstasy. Goodbye, professional boundaries. And suddenly, there’s a new danger to avoid: the falling of my heart.

Tripping on a Halo

Re-read and this is just as awesome as it was the first time. Towards the end the pacing went a bit off but all in all, it's a beautiful work. The female protagonist commits some crimes but it's hard not to sympathize with her (ouch!)

This was my very first experience with an Alessandra Torre and it was every bit as humorous and enjoyable that I hoped it'd be. Tripping on a Halo had its faults but it was ultimately as heavenly and steamy as readers want it to be. This was one of those books that caught me off guard with its outlandish wit and comedic timing. It had something about it that was unexpectedly fun and will tease its audience throughout.

One thing was certain: Tripping on a Halo was addictive and captivating enough for me to have finished it in one sitting. It has the perfect hook in the form of its first sentence (which takes readers full circle by the end of the novel) and I knew I would be in for a treat when I read it, as well as its synopsis. Torre has her humor highly present in the prose of Tripping on a Halo and if there's one quality to it (aside from its steamier, more romantic moments) that readers should be aware of is its hilarity.

I'll admit that plotline wise I wasn't sure what to expect from Autumn's whole guardian aspect when it came to her, for lack of a better word, stalking of Declan. Admittedly, hearing "stalking" and romance in the same sentence will likely put readers off, but there is more to it than what I could possibly explain in one review.

There were times when I was often confused about things in Tripping on a Halo. The past. Autumn's actions, the illness that dominated the final quarter of the book, Declan's... everything? To be blunt, I had the impression that some of these plotlines were tossed aside for other developments. While it did not make me dislike the book, it did lead to the occasional head-scratch moment from me.

Tripping on a Halo, despite its flaws, was a fun and indulgent read for the start of winter. Torre has a way with romance and comedy; crafting something unique and entertaining for her readers. It is easy to see why she's often on the receiving end of praise in the genre--she is certainly a force to be reckoned with.
