AMAZING!!!

Why are there so little reviews for this book? Anyway,this is one of the firts 'angel books' iv'e read since rekindling my love for sci-fi after reading the Twilight seres. The story is about a girl named freya: she has seen angel's her whole life (well, after her first encounter with her new gauridian angel Hestron). She makes the mistake of telling other people about it and is sent to a mental house. She's just returned when the story begins. Freya's new in school and is trying hard to fit in with the 'in' crowd. And then the angels return. Only this one is unlike the one's she's seen before. This angel is all dark, and he's following her..... I highly recommend this book to any one looking for a fast-pace fiction story without all the boring and sickning (to me atleast) teen romance.

Extraordinary Story

The characters in this book are vividly described and vividly real. There are several key themes intertwined within this book. The first theme revolves around peer pressure and the young teenager's desire to "fit in". The second theme is a teenage boy's struggle to overcome his own fears by helping out a younger boy who is being bullied. While both of these themes play out, the underlying theme of the story is a twist on Angels and their purpose for existing. I highly recommend this book for teens as well as adults. Excellent read!
