I wanted to love this story only because I love the "history" and theology behind Fallen Angels/Watchers. I think that's the only thing that kept me going through this story. The storyline developed so slowly for a YA story and nothing even happens until the very end. The author leaves so many unanswered questions, which SOMETIMES works when you're writing a series, but I don't think it worked here. Not only are things left as unanswered but some things were completely brushed aside as insignificant that shouldn't have (don't want to spoil so I'll just say two particular tragedies as an example, and the role of her parents, role of school employees or lack thereof). I wanted to love this book, I really did - especially after it came highly recommended by two coworkers. I will probably continue on to the next book despite my negativity only because I know it will be a quick read - and I'm not paying for it. :) However, I would definitely recommend for those interested in the subject - Angelology - a much better read that will also soon be a series (and classified as adult fiction if you're curious).
