I slowly opened my eyes. The sun speared its first bright rays of golden orange into the sky and I leapt from the cliff, with the sorrowful knowledge that no matter what the outcome, at least part of me would die that day...
Violet Eden is dreading her seventeenth birthday dinner. After all, it’s hard to get too excited about the day that marks the anniversary of your mother’s death. The one bright spot is that Lincoln will be there. Sexy, mature and aloof, he is Violet’s idea of perfection. But why does he seem so reluctant to be anything more than a friend?
After he gives her the world’s most incredible kiss – and then abandons her on her front doorstep – Violet is determined to get some answers. But nothing could have prepared her for Lincoln’s explanation: he is Grigori – part angel and part human – and Violet is his eternal partner.
Without warning, Violet’s world is turned upside down. She never believed in God, let alone angels. But there’s no denying the strange changes in her body ... and her feelings for Lincoln. Suddenly, she can’t stand to be around him. Luckily, Phoenix, an exiled angel, has come into her life. He’s intense and enigmatic, but at least he never lied to her.
As Violet gets caught up in an ancient battle between dark and light, she must choose her path. The wrong choice could cost not only her life, but her eternity...
Wow. What can i say this book is definitely not like any other hmm...well maybe a little bit like Personal Demons by Lisa Desrochers in a way because of the two guys fighting over her...one supposedly evil while the other is practically an angel, so if you liked that you will LOVE this and visa versa ;) . The book was easy to make sense of but never made you lose interest i literally never put it down.
The characters themselves were pretty unique and not knockoffs from some other books (THANK GOD!) no problem at all with their roles, they all seemed to fit in well with the story.
Even the plot was fantastic it never wavered or disappeared while they made it through their various love problems.
The only part that annoyed me (SPOILER AHEAD) was when she lost her virginity to Phoenix, not that i wasn't rooting for him to win her heart-because i was- but the way it was described made it out to be only a make out session with a lot of feeling but the day after she woke up and they were both naked. It gave me the feeling like she'd blacked out and didn't realised they had sex, yet she carried on as normal and later on she thinks about losing her virginity to him which confirms what should have been told earlier.
Regardless of this, the book is definitely worth reading and it won't disappoint i promise :)
I give this book a 9 on the SophaScale :P
