Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. 3.5, again, but erring on the side of 4, because, while this book is nothing near perfectly written (especially the eye-wateringly YA romance tripe at the Prom and boy descriptions therein), I am so so So Impressed by the unexpected massive double-twist ending. This story could have ended in the most predictable of YA Romance/Mystical Angel ways, and it didn't. Two times over. And that makes me so much more driven to needing to dig my fingers into it. (And it's why even on the day I finished it I bought book two and read to the 32% before even being willing to fall asleep.) This is not your mother's angel story, and we get that pretty much from the get go. Dragging out all sorts of hints, confusion, revelations everywhere. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

I was intrigued by the premise that angels could have part human children and that they all had a purpose to fulfill. Why, it seems, they only have ONE purpose to fulfill is not clear to me...that seems like a waste of "angel-blood" abilities. Still, it was interesting. However, (and this is where it lost a star) with all this talk about angels, glory, and divine purpose, one might think there would be a little more communication from God...and by "a little more" I mean ANY. Maybe that is to come in the sequel. Also, Clara's mother (who is "Dimidius" - half angel - while Clara is "Quartarius" - quarter angel) seems to have a lot of secrets (including her "purpose") that I am guessing will be revealed in the sequel as well. Clara's brother is also Quartarius and Clara finds a friend who turns out to be Dimidius. Throw in some fallen angels (Dark Wings) and it really does make for an interesting story. It is well written and includes a lot of suspense all leading to an ending designed to make you want to buy the sequel. Smart. Very smart. I bought it already. ( )
