Bethany is an angel sent to Earth with her brother, Gabriel, and sister, Ivy to fight dark forces in the small town of Venus Cove. They pose as ordinary citizens; Gabriel is a teacher at the local high school and Bethany is a student, while Ivy works within the community at large. Bethany has difficulty adjusting to life among mortals, made even more complicated by the attraction that she feels to fellow student, Xavier Woods. As the tension between good and evil becomes more problematic, Gabriel and Ivy try to encourage Bethany not to be involved with Xavier, but she feels more connected to human experiences than her sibling angels and feels torn between her duties and her feelings.
This is the first book in a trilogy, followed by Hades and Heaven.
For the most part, I liked this book, and the rest of the series. The story was interesting and the plot was relatively unique and went in some directions i wasn't really expecting. I did feel that the characters were not always realistic; in particular, Xavier seemed far too perfect. Overall, I would recommend this series to older fantasy fans who enjoy stories about the supernatural in the real world or books with a strong romance element.
- If this book sounds interesting, consider these: Living Violet, Everneath, Twilight, or Death and the Girl Next Door
