Wishlist Wednesday is a blog hop by the ever wonderful Pen to Paper where we get to talk about a book we're wishing for.
Archon: The Books of Raziel
by Sabrina Benulis
HarperCollins Publishers
Summary:
Angela
Mathers is plagued by visions of angels, supernatural creatures who haunt her
thoughts by day and seduce her dreams by night. Newly released from a mental
institution where she was locked away for two years, she hopes that her time at
the Vatican’s university, the West Wood Academy, will give her a chance at a
normal life. Unlike ordinary humans, Angela is a blood head — a freak, a
monster, the possible fulfillment of a terrifying prophecy of overwhelming
death and destruction. Only in Luz, the Vatican’s wondrous enclave, are blood
heads accepted and encouraged to discover what kind of powers or special
abilities they might possess.
But within West Wood, a secret coven plots, and demons and angels roam the streets searching for the key to open Raziel’s book — a secret tome from a lost archangel. Some are determined to destroy Raziel, while others, like the beautiful Supernal Israfel, one of the highest of the high, wish to free him. And when the Archon — the human chosen to possess the spirit of a dead angel — rises as foretold, they will control the supernatural universe.
Torn between mortal love and angelic obsession, Angela holds the key to Heaven and Hell — and both will stop at nothing to possess her.

Babble:
The cover reminds me a lot of Anna Dressed in Blood but after reading the blurb from Goodreads, I was really intrigued. This might be a good horror/possessed spirit story. Can't wait for it's publication date which is December 27th.
Well, that is certainly a lot for one girl to handle! Sounds really interesting!
