I am loving this book. Seriously, this has some major potential. I can't wait to see how it works out.
Moment Divine: "Stop it - it's not your fault the Church of Angels is full of whack-jobs."
This book was fantastic. A must read! The characters really grabbed my attention and emotions right from the start. I loved how angels were used in this world and thought it was a very compelling idea. This was much easier to accept than many of the other current angel theories.
There were times during the story that I did find myself stepping out of the room. I just felt that the author had made her point and was staying stuck in a place far too long. It started to draw away from the beauty of the moment instead of add to it. There were also times I felt that there really wasn't enough drive occurring. This could just be a result of some of the recent books I have read that have been jam packed with terror and action.
The emotion in this book was fabulous. As a romance addict, I was in heaven following the sideline romance as the story progressed. This is the sort of connection that kept me reading even when I was started to wander a bit. I also liked how unique the blend in each character was. They each fit a mold but had something that just pushed them out. A guy who didn't understand anything about cars and a girl who was all over that. It was fun to watch their relationship deepen and grow.
I feel as if this book really held potential for a five star rating. there just seemed to be some small moments or gaps in the story where my mind detached. Even so this is definitely a book I would recommend people try out.

Okay, so I have a hard time believing that the two of them could be sequestered up in a cabin for weeks on end without going all the way. That isn't to say I don't think it is impossible to have controlled teenagers out there. We are just lead to believe these days that this sort of scenario is nigh impossible. Don't get me wrong, I was glad nothing like that crept into the book. I just felt that the author spent too much time here and I really started to expect something horrible to happen. When that moment came it sure wasn't what I expected. Surprise is good right?
