Things are described multiple ways and then compared to something else countless numbers of times: “That was the effect he had on me–an explosion of happiness in my chest, scattering like little beads and making my whole body shiver and tingle.” Or… “Xavier’s eyes are turquoise and almond shaped, like twin pools of clear blue ocean.” Every time Xavier’s eyes were mentioned, they were turquoise. There was more flowery writing in this book than actual dialogue! And it did nothing for the plot. I feel really bad about it… but I just can’t go without saying this!ġ. I must warn you, this might be the harshest of all my reviews. Let me list off some of my main complaints that made this book so hard to finish.

The story didn’t even really pick up until about page 370. I thought it would be full of action, excitement, forbidden love, and suspense. I was expecting these amazingly perfect angels coming down from Heaven to save a deteriorating world. The angel’s mission is urgent, and dark forces are threatening.

Gabriel and Ivy do everything in their power to intervene, but the bond between Xavier and Bethany seems too strong. Then Bethany meets Xavier Woods, and neither of them is able to resist the attraction between them. They work hard to conceal their luminous glow, superhuman powers, and, most dangerous of all, their wings, all the while avoiding all human attachments. Three angels – Gabriel, the warrior Ivy, the healer and Bethany, the youngest and most human – are sent by Heaven to bring good to a world falling under the influence of darkness.
