This was different. I enjoyed the plot and the descriptions used for the world building. The story of star crossed lovers and their struggles has been told many times, but the characters and setting in this one made it totally unique. Monsters and Angels from "beyond" have been enemies since the beginning of time, but not because one is evil and one is good. Their war is about equality. I loved the descriptions of the Monsters! I found them much more interesting than the Angels. I wish the relationships between the characters had a little more depth. I rated this book three stars, but it had the potential to be really amazing. The romance had no sizzle, and the moments of loss never tugged on my heart strings. Shame really... I almost want to read the second book to see if it gets better.
