Description
Caspia Chastain, art student and barista, is gifted (or plagued, if you ask her) with the ability to draw the future, usually at the worst possible times. Her parents are four years dead; everyday she watches her brother Logan fight his cancer diagnosis. Things get worse for Caspia the day she draws an angry stranger framed by planes of light and violent, bloody images. That exact same stranger walks up to her out of nowhere mere hours later knowing things he shouldn't, like her name, her brother's illness, and her strange ability. That's when Caspia discovers her hometown is a refuge for supernatural beings both Light and Dark, and she and her brother find themselves caught up in a war between the two that predates their very birth. In order to protect herself and her brother, she turns to the one who seems to have started it all: the man who walked out of her sketchbook calling himself Ethan.
But Ethan has his own agenda, Logan's getting sicker fast, and Caspia finds that drawing the future isn't the only strange thing she can do. Meanwhile, someone really wants all of them dead. In a town where Dark doesn't equal Evil and Light isn't always Good, Caspia and Ethan find themselves making strange alliances and even stranger sacrifices in order to protect those they love.

I was so excited to read this book and have to say I'm not sure how long this series is but I can tell you now I am a new follower. This is my first book by Vicki Keire and I can't wait to read more.
This book was particularly mysterious and in some ways it still is. I feel like there was a lot going on in the book and the way the book ended we have so much more to learn about these characters.
I'm not into giving spoilers so I won't go there, but this supernatural book had romance, mystery, a little thriller and still so much to come.
Thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for allowing me to review this ARC book.

Caspia Chastain has had a rough life, her parents are both dead and her brother Logan has terminal cancer. Caspia also works full time, is the chief maid and bottle washer at home, goes to college, every moment of her day is packed! But it's funny what we can make room for when it is really important!
When Cas is doing an art assignment she draws a man she has never seen, along with the man is bloody talons, and a picture of a heart. There are other things that Cas doesn't understand, and it has been awhile since she has been given a vision of the future, and she truly hoped that they had somehow just gone away. But as most things she wishes to ignore, the vision won't be denied. Cas goes into emotional meltdown when she sees the man from the drawing in the flesh. Who is he and most importantly what does he want?
Meet Ethan, he was sent to bring Logan, Cas's brother to the light and insure the Dark didn't obtain his soul. When he bumps into Cas in a store he also feels her deep pain. Cas is being torn apart knowing her brother only has a short time to live. Ethan wasn't supposed to ever interact with Cas, but now that he has he can't let her go. He has found a love of a lifetime, now Ethan must choose to either let Cas go or become one of the Fallen.
Cas and Ethan have so much to overcome, fallen angels, and a demon are after Cas and her brother. Will they be able to find love and keep it? What is going on in Cas's cosy little town? You will love finding the answers to these questions when you download this book.
