Thank you netgalley and the publisher’s for giving me the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Was excited to read it but fell flat

Are you like me and really just craving a book about angels and demons? I don't know why, but lately, I've been thinking a lot about books like Hush, Hush. I just really wanted to read a young adult book about angels, and that's exactly what this is. However, this is a lot more romance centered than what I expected.

Lila is a senior in high school. Though she's from a fabulously wealthy self started family, her and her sister are horribly lonely without their parents around, and that's how their life has been for most of it. She feels like she'll never be who her parents want her to be, and that they'll never fully love her because of it. And this is why we find her at the bottom of the pool holding onto a rock at the beginning of the book.

Though her parents always let her and her sister Hayley down, she's never going to be like that. She focuses on her school and taking care of the house, that is until she starts having these strange waking dreams about an angel. Little does she know that her life is about to change in an insane way. Especially at the end of the book. The angel from her waking dreams is in fact a real person, and he's transferred to her school for the remainder of the year.

Honestly, I wasn't really sure what to expect when I picked this book out for my next read. Full of romance and kind of lacking in any excitement until the last ten percent of the book, I did really enjoy this book because it was something different than what I've been reading lately. I wanted a book about angels, and I got one. I'm not usually into slow books like this, but it was a nice relaxing break that I could pick up and put back down, and then pick right back up again. I also enjoyed reading it before bed because of how chill it was.

Again, however, this is another one of those books where the boy is really, really, old and immortal, and the girl is barely eighteen. I can put that aside though, because I can't believe the insane turn that the end of the book took. I didn't expect it at all, and if it didn't happen, I'm not sure I would think about reading the second book in the series. But now? I have to! There's no discussion about it. I need it in my life.

Overall, if you're looking for a teen romance book about angels and demons, and a girl just fighting her way through her classes and contemplating what university to go to, then this is the book for you. I really liked it, and I'm glad I got the chance to check it out.

There's something heartbreaking of being super excited for a book due to the blurb and then being extremely disappointed in it. This was an example.
