Summary from Goodreads:
Lucian isn't sure what to expect when he steps over the banister separating Heaven from Earth. He opens his eyes in a new body, one with no wings, no knowledge of the future, and no special powers. All he remembers is his mission: to find a mysterious key. When he meets a human girl that he can't ignore he is forced, for the first time in eternity, to choose between duty and the pull of his heart. The future hangs on his decision, but he's fallen into a world where nothing is just what it seems.
Thoughts:
The book has such a predictable storyline where an angel sent to earth on a mysterious mission gets sidetracked and fell in love with a teenage girl instead. Once he's on earth, Lucian had a hard time coping with his new human body and was told to pretend to be a human teenager by his guardians.
Samara on the other hand, is a confused human girl undergoing some hardship as her father had been missing for some time. Nevertheless, the two met and have an instant connection but the appearance of bad boy Jack seems to complicated matters.
It was a light and easy read for me as the story is not too complicated to follow but somehow the twist in the end is something I had been expecting so it is not a big surprise for me at all.
Verdict: 3 stars.

It does sound so been there, done that. Happening too much lately for me.
ReplyDeleteI think that because so many books have featured angels that it's hard to differentiate one from the other.
