Thoughts:
Ladies and gentleman, this is how you make a love triangle interesting. Create two swoon worthy male interests, present a real dilemma for our lovely female protagonist, and do not make her a boring idiot with nothing else to do but mope around for some guy to come along. Clara rocks!
Ehem...on a more serious note, Cynthia Hand is simply a genius in stirring your heart with tender young romance. Boundless started of really slow. Clara decided to move on with her life after her mother's death and attend Stanford with Angela and Christian in tow. Along the way she met some new friends and new admirers. She tried opening her heart to Christian but deep inside she still misses Tucker. Oh, the agony!
Aside from those hair pulling dilemma, the young angel bloods are experiencing some terrifying visions. As is expected from this series, some characters died. Some rise to the challenge. The ending is bittersweet and Clara finally made her choice between the two boys. In all honesty, I was sort of expecting a big showdown with the fallen Dark Wings but I guess the series is more about love and choosing your own destiny rather than about angels fighting it out with each other.
Overall, I definitely recommend this series to readers who are wary of angels. There are some light hearted moments that will definitely tug your heart strings.

Summary from Goodreads:
The past few years have held more surprises than part-angel Clara Gardner could ever have anticipated. Yet from the dizzying highs of first love, to the agonizing low of losing someone close to her, the one thing she can no longer deny is that she was never meant to live a normal life.
Since discovering the special role she plays among the other angel-bloods, Clara has been determined to protect Tucker Avery from the evil that follows her . . . even if it means breaking both their hearts. Leaving town seems like the best option, so she’s headed back to California - and so is Christian Prescott, the irresistible boy from the vision that started her on this journey in the first place.
As Clara makes her way in a world that is frighteningly new, she discovers that the fallen angel who attacked her is watching her every move. And he’s not the only one. . . . With the battle against the Black Wings looming, Clara knows she must finally fulfil her destiny. But it won’t come without sacrifices and betrayal.
In the riveting finale of the Unearthly series, Clara must decide her fate once and for all.
