Alexandra Adornetto is the real name of Alexandra Grace (born 18 April 1992), an Australian author who writes for children and young adults. Her works include The Strangest Adventures series and the Halo trilogy.
Halo
Halo takes place in Venus Cove, a fictional town later revealed to be located on the Georgia coastline. The quiet, picturesque town is ultimately revolutionized when three biblical angels—Gabriel, Ivy, and Bethany—arrive on a mission to guard its residents against the dark work of Lucifer's demons. The angels take up residence in a beach-side cottage named Byron (presumably named after Adornetto's childhood home), and Bethany begin attending Bryce Hamilton, the local high school. Here, Beth meets a human boy named Xavier with a troubled past and soon falls in love with him, defying the laws of Heaven and threatening the angels' mission. The story revolves almost exclusively around Bethany and Xavier's forbidden relationship until the arrival of a transfer student, Jake Thorn, who takes a sinister liking to Bethany. Jake is not who he claims to be, and the plot culminates in a confrontation between the angels and the forces of evil.
HadesIt follows Xavier and Beth, whose relationship has finally been accepted by Beth's siblings, to a Hallowe'en party in an old, abandoned house, where Beth reluctantly takes part in a séance with her friends. The séance ultimately awakens the demon, Jake Thorn, who tricks Bethany into a motorcycle ride on the pretense that Xavier is seriously hurt. The motorcycle takes Beth and Jake through a portal and into Hell. Bethany is kept as a prisoner in Hotel Ambrosia, where she befriends two fellow captives, Hannah and Tuck. It is revealed that Jake is a Prince of the Underworld and intends to lure Beth into marriage, but Bethany refuses to have anything to do with him. And how about the engagement?

Heaven
Bethany, an angel sent to Earth, and her mortal boyfriend, Xavier, have been to Hell and back. But now their love will be put to its highest test yet, as they defy Heavenly law and marry. They don’t tell Beth’s archangel siblings, Gabriel and Ivy, but the angels know soon enough, and punishment comes in a terrifying form: the Sevens, who are rogue angels bent on keeping Beth and Xavier apart, destroying Gabriel and Ivy, and darkening angelic power in the heavens.
The only way Bethany and Xavier can elude the Sevens is to hide in the open, and blend in with other mortals their own age. Gabriel and Ivy set them up at college, where they can’t reveal their relationship, and where there is still danger around each corner. Will Bethany be called back to Heaven – forever – and face leaving the love of her life?
