 Alrighty. Before you go off and grab the popcorn let me say that this is not a totally negative review. This is a un-stereotypical review of a stereotypical novel. My opinion of this book differs from the average review. I somewhat liked this book. Now don't think that I loved this book and lose all hope in me because I admit it had many faults. Okay had to say that now on to the actual review if you're still here :) 
 For the most part I thought this was well written, with a few sprinkles of bad grammar and super cheesy lines. I liked the detail of everything even though it sometimes bordered on lengthy. 
 I even liked Xavier's character, at least in the beginning before he became like a mother bear to an angel. But I'm getting ahead of myself, I'll get to the negatives in a minute. 
 I loved Gabriel's character but I think that's because I want him and Molly together. Unlike Xavier/Bethany this "romance" was somewhat realistic. Instead of falling head over heels for each other immediately, Molly pursues Gabriel and changes for him and he gradually warms up to her. Even though it didn't go anywhere (because if it really did then it would especially be unrealistic) I enjoyed their interactions. 
 Now the negatives. I wanted to rip out my hair when I read the ten or so pages of pure Xavier protecting Beth. A human protecting an angel. ??? Why did "He" choose Beth for a divine mission when she would end up having to rely on a human boy for protection. Gabriel and Ivy at least did somewhat angel-like duties and had powers. If Bethany supposedly didn't have powers yet why was she chosen? 
 Another thing that bothered me about Xavier's super protectiveness was that he did the stupidest things. He wouldn't even let her talk to other people. How is that attractive? 
 Jake Thorn. Jake comes in at almost the exact middle of the book, and was obsessed with Bethany from the start. The action in the book picked up a little bit because "evil" things started to happen. The best (and pretty much only) bad thing that happened was Taylah's death. But even that wasn't really fully written out. It could have had a good effect but like a lot of the book, it did not live of to the purpose it could have fulfilled. 
 I give it three stars because hey, I've read much, much worse.
