Weird things start to happen on Violet Eden’s 17th
birthday. Not only does she find out she’s half-human, but the guy she’s been
crushing on knew about it and didn’t tell her. He’s half-human too, and
together, they’re destined to fight angel exiles on earth. But Violet doesn’t
trust him anymore, and turns to the support of Phoenix, who just happens to be
an angel exile. Choice and destiny don’t seem to be getting along for Violet
who is learning that life and the higher powers definitely don’t exist in black
and white.
Violet Eden not only has the coolest name, but she’s pretty
awesomely hardcore herself. Yeah, she’s got the attention of two hot guys, but
she doesn’t become passive or whiney because of it. Instead, she’s all about
choosing her own destiny, even though she doesn’t actually have a whole lot of
choice in the matter. But she tries as hard as she can to control her own fate
and has a lot of respectable inner strength to match her outer strength.
Speaking of those two hot guys though- talk about some great
romantic tension. I couldn’t put this book down. Lincoln and Violet are made
for one another, but angel rules dictate they can’t be together. And he’s
broken Violet’s trust and she has a hard time getting past that. Phoenix has a
major thing for Violet, because she’s a new, special kind of fighter, and he’s
intrigued. All in all, the makings of a great love triangle.
Some of the angel hierarchy explanations still left me a
little muddled, but hopefully it’ll clear itself up in the next book. Which I’m
very much looking forward to reading.
