For those of us that believe in angels we believe that they are the heavanly devine. That they are here to watch over us. Help us. Guide us through life and to our final resting place there after.

Some of us pray to them. Some of are obbsessed with them. Some of us morn for the fallen. Some of us even fantasize about a hot bruting fallen angel saving them, and by saving I mean kissing lolz. *winks* And almost everyone that has survived something they souldn't have has heard the phase: "Your guadian angel must have been watching over you." or "You were touched by an angel."

What if I told you angels weren't the good guys?
What if I told you that almost every disease from cancer to schyzifrenia was linked to them?
What would you say then? Would you believe me and fight to stop it? Or would you blindly praise them and make them stronger? Let them feed off you. Drain every ounce of energy from you until your nothing more than angel burn.

Do I have your attention now? I thought I might!

Willow lives a tortured life but seems to make the most out of it. She has never knew her dad and as spent her entire life taking care of her mother. When she was nine she left Syracuse to move in with her Aunt Jo in Pawtucket after coming home from school one day to find here mother missing. Her mother has had a serious mental condition that just seems to get worse. She is always staring out at nothing, living in another dreamland. While back in reality Willow stuggles to take care of her and living with her aunt isn't exactly making it any better. All Willow knows is that she is doing the best she can considering her mom is almost catatonic. Willow also happens to be physic but since her mother isn't really available there is no telling if she inherted the trait. In fact she didn't realize that everyone wasn't the same way until she was 5. Just when it seemed like Willow's life was pretty much set the way it was Beth, the popular girl, asked her for a reading. Lets just say that after what she saw her life was never going to be the same. Not only did she know that angels exsist, but she also knew thier dirty little secret.

Thats when Alex shows up. He has been sent to destroy her but he is smarter than your average Angel Killer and realizes that she is something different. He doesn't trust her but decides to protect her until they can get to the bottom of it. For some reason, he can't explain, no matter how hard he tries he find himself attracted to Willow. The more he feels the worse he treats her to keep her at arms length.

I could tell you more but that would just ruin it. As it is I have already done a much longer summary than I normally do, but for this book I deemed it necessary. So here are my thoughts...

First of all this book was undescribidly amazing!!! I will try my hardest to find the right words but I'm not sure they exsist. Willows character was so strong at times that I found myself crying for her, even when she wouldn't. When she finnaly broke at times even that was beautiful. Her personality just seemed to grab you and touch on a level that you FELT what she was going through. And then there is Alex. I think my favorite part about this story is that Alex is just a 17 year old kid. Granted his life isn't anything like a normal 17 year old boy and he is wise beyond his years in some departments, and completely dump in others, it just makes him great. For once you have a paranormal Ya that doesn't involve and immortal thats like 100 and a teenage human. Their relationship and their adventual love for each other is so raw it's perfect. My heart clenches just thinking about them.

Overall there isn't a single thing that I would change about this book. The new twist on angels is like a breath of fresh air. If you don't read this book than you are truely missing out. I deem this book worthy of my advice and in case you forgot what that is here you go:

Buy it, rent it, borrow it, steal it if you have to, but you have got to READ this book!!!:)
