Three angels are sent by Heaven to bring good to a world falling under the influence of darkness: Gabriel, the warrior; Ivy, the healer; and Bethany, the youngest and most human.


They work hard to conceal their luminous glow, their superhuman powers, and their wings.


 Then Bethany meets Xavier Woods, and they are unable to resist their attraction to each other. But the angels’ mission is urgent, and dark forces are threatening.


Will love ruin Bethany or save her?






Surprisingly, I loved this book. I got it on a whim from the library, along with it's sequel, and I was pleasantly surprised. It made me feel closer to   angels, which also surprised me. Yes, I've read angel books. Who hasn't- they're freaking everywhere. But none of them has been like this. Main characters have been angels, whether they've known it or not, but none have been quite the same.


Beth was an angel. She was in Heaven immediately before the beginning of the book. She then became human without knowing what any of it was like. The change.. Good Lord. What a difference.








Xavier. Oh my. Not my typical guy, that's for sure. But sometimes he had me laughing, fist pumping, and saying awwwww. He's just a sweetie, that boy.







Molly was a character I just didn't like. She was whiny, selfish, greedy, and she took her best friend (an angel) for granted. She also had this annoying crush on someone so completely unobtainable it was ridiculous.

 I like Gabriel- I mean he's the guy I always read about! How awesome that he's like right there?! My opinion- the author, Alexandra Adornetto, did a good rendition of him. If the Angel  Gabriel should ever come down to Earth, I could see him acting like this. But a music teacher? Not history? Really?  I also liked Beth and Gabriel's sister- Ivy. She was of the seraphim rank. She portrayed a nice maternal figure, always cooking and sewing and such. She was a lot nicer and more forgiving than Gabriel. Plus, she has wicked healing powers. Which I find amazing.

I would give this 4/5 stars. I enjoyed the plot, the view inside Beth's head, and of course I enjoyed the main guy. Not to mention the other one who becomes much more important. (That one is British. Squeeee!) I like Brits. Forgive me. ;)
