~What's It About?~

What happens when falling in love and falling from grace collide?

After dying in a car accident with her two best friends, Lily miraculously awakens to grief and guilt. She escapes to her dad’s to come to terms with the event and meets some people at her new school who seem all too eager to help her heal. Sliding deeper into sorrow and trying to fight her feelings for two of them, she finds out who…what they really are and that they are falling too.

Can she find the strength to move on from the past, reconcile her feelings for Luc, find a way to stop a divine war with fallen angels, and still pass the eleventh grade?

~My Thoughts~

I really liked this story, That fact that it's about one of my favorite things Angels and Demon. This story gave them a hole new twist, it was so not the normal kind of Angels VS Demons. It was much better if you ask me. It's nothing like Gena Showalter's Dark Angel series but then again that's more for Adults, where this is for YA but with a more. The cover did the one main character Luc justice, I could so see Luc looking like that, and yes I could picture the demons starting to look like the Wizard of OZ's flying monkeys they were hella creepy looking in my mind. :)

This story had a lot of really great moments in it, like when Lily and Lus kissed, when the school blew up and Mo turned Evil.(yes, your going to have to read to see what I'm talking about). I mean I really was routing for Mo to be the one to end up saving Lily and being with Lily not Luc I had got the feeling towards the middle of the story that I thought about it all wrong. Boy was I wrong Lily and Luc ended up together. I do have to say though that Luc disappeared at the wrong moment that part of the story totally sucked I mean come on what in the living HELL was Violet thinking!!!!

Anyways as the story keeps going on it just get's better and better. I like how Lily was a weak character who in the end turned out to be really strong and she didn't stop fighting for what was right. I'm actually really happy that she wasn't weak this hole story. The author wrote this great in fact, it was a 1 person POV and I honestly couldn't see this story in a 2 person POV it was mainly focused on Lily, which in my case is really good because I have been reading a lot of 2 ppl POVs and sometimes my head just has to many ppl in it then. So it was nice. I loved in fact how it was written all the characters had something to bring to the table (lol). The ending was different I felt that it left off on a cliffhanger, which I'm getting use to.

This is a must read for all their was a part in the book I felt that really wasn't for YA only because she was being held down and hurt. But it did make it's point in the story. Like I said this is a MUST READ!!! I for one am pretty glad I read it.
