3.5 really. 
 This is another angel book but again has a totally different take on it. It has its own mythology that sets it apart from others. The story focuses on anna who finds out that she is a nephilim after she runs into another nephil kaidan at a gig.Then the whole story bhind her bloodline and her parents and her mystrious ability unravels. 
 It was a pretty good book but what kept me from enjoying it more were the characters. They for me can be more important than the plot sometimes as if i dont care about them then i dont care what happens to them and start to lose interest in the story. Anna was an annoying protaganist; she was overly innocent to the point of dumb. She was such a goody two shoes and prudish and oh so gentle that she would start bawling like a baby at stupid things. I just couldnt bring myself to like her and just wanted to punch her. 
 Kaiden is a totally different story. He is the aboslute opposite of anna but i didnt like him much either sadly. He is a typical bad boy with attitude issues and a bad case of whoring-around syndrome. I usually love bad boys in stories but he was neither charming or had the wittiness. His constant sleeping around really ticked me off and i just didnt see the allure when it came to him. Luxkily, he changed a bit half way through that made him a bit more likable i hope to see more character development with him in the future. 
 This brings me to the next point - the relationship between Kaiden and Anna. Anna started swooning over him from the moment she saw him like a dog who hadnt seen meat before. It was only about his looks and nothing to do with his personality. Kaiden would just make fun of her innocence the whole time and she would continue to drool over him. Even when he would make it obvious that he only wants her for sex or when he would go around sleeping with random girls, she still wouldnt get over him. it made me wanna slap her whiny little ass off the face of this earth. 
 Another thing that realy got on my nerves was the number of times someone brought up her virginity. I just wanted to throw the book on the floor (good thing it was an ebook) Jeez! so what if she is? But they all kepty talking like she had grown horns or they'd never seen a vrigin before. 
 The mythology of this book was intersting but a bit too complex with so many demons that i just lost count. I would like to know more about other demons in the future as that part was quite fascinating. however, the cloudy gaurdian angels just seemed ridiculous. The plot was good and i enjoyed it but not very exciting either. No special twists or revelations. It mostly revolved around anna sulking over Kaiden. Her dad was an intriguing character but a bit shady in my opinion. 
 furthermore, the character inconsistencies were absurd. Anna the little miss innocent who had never touched a drink before all of a sudden got drunk and started dancing on bar tables. Kaiden who has probably slept with half the country got all brooding and touchy after meeting her. 
 Finally, it was a good read, especially for hardcore angel fans, but honestly there are better things out there. It would have been miles better ifg the characters were more linakble. I will be reading the sequel; partly cuz the book's ending didnt have much closure and i would like to know what goes down after and secondly in the hopes that it redeems itself later.
