Rating: 2.5/5 
 ***Minor spoilers*** 
 Anna has lived quite a pure life - she doesn't lie, she is never cruel, she prays all the time, and goes to church every weekend. She is the epitome of purity. Above all, she has the gift to see the emotions of others, and feel it along with them. Before long, she discovers that is she actually a Nephilim - a half-demon child of a fallen angel. Anna is especially different - her mother was an angel. After she learns of her background from her adoptive mother, Patti, she travels across America with a "friend" Kaiden who is also a Nephilim in order to meet her father, and a nun who was present at her birth and apparently has something to tell Anna. After meeting her father, she hopes that this universe of angels a demons becomes clearer. 
 I had been meaning to read this book for quite some time after seeing all the great reviews floating around Goodreads. I was a bit apprehensive to return to the book universe of fallen angels and Nephilim, since the last time I've been there was when I read the Hush, Hush series several years ago. Before you read the rest of this review, don't immediately cross this off your to-read because it reminds me of Hush, Hush. I can ensure you that the male lead is nowhere as creepy as Patch. (Although he can be crude.) 
 I found the plot itself interesting but the thing that has me not rating the book as high is the writing. There were several things that made this book seem very juvenile to me. First of all, Anna didn't feel very mature to me. She didn't come across as someone who now had to burden a lot of responsibility. I also felt that the author was trying to make her purity her defining feature, which was quite annoying to me. I prefer my heroines to be likeable because they're something like brave, witty, or intelligent, not because they're a virgin. There were also some things that I noticed were very repetitive, like mentioning Patti offering sweet tea because of her "southern manners." 
 Overall, I thought the plot was alright but the way the main character was written was a bit irritating. Regardless, I will probably pick up the second book from the library because I see potential in the series, although I will be pretty disappointed if there ends up being a love triangle between Anna, Kaiden, and Kaiden's friend, Kopano. I would recommend for you to read this book unless characters that are repeatedly mentioned as being pure and virgins as if it matters bothers you.
