This was the first book that I have been able to dive into in a while. I’ve been very busy and overall very uninterested in all the books I’ve attempted to read, until this book. When I started reading, I was immediately caught by the hook and drawn in. Taylor held me from cover to cover and I couldn’t put it down.

I loved the story line and the cleverness of it. Usually, angels are perfect beings and the main character is the spawn of an angel and human *gasp*. However, in this book, the main character was an ordinary human who just happens to dream of the horrendous and terrifying angels and their world each night.

One thing I didn’t enjoy was the relationship development. Jessica and Alex were head over heels for each other immediately, despite the odd and slightly creepy manor of their first encounter. And everyone Jessica tried to hold a conversation with was met with little to no response, which bothered me immensely. She had little interactions with certain people, despite the fact that they had enormous rolls in the plot.

Overall, this book was very entertaining and unique. There was great description and a great storyline. The relationships were a bit odd, as were the connections with the characters, but it was otherwise a great book.

Three stars.
