Blurb:
In the beginning, there's a boy standing in the trees . . . .
Clara Gardner has recently learned that she's part angel. Having angel blood run through her veins not only makes her smarter, stronger, and faster than humans (a word, she realizes, that no longer applies to her), but it means she has a purpose, something she was put on this earth to do. Figuring out what that is, though, isn't easy.
Her visions of a raging forest fire and an alluring stranger lead her to a new school in a new town. When she meets Christian, who turns out to be the boy of her dreams (literally), everything seems to fall into place—and out of place at the same time. Because there's another guy, Tucker, who appeals to Clara's less angelic side.
As Clara tries to find her way in a world she no longer understands, she encounters unseen dangers and choices she never thought she'd have to make—between honesty and deceit, love and duty, good and evil. When the fire from her vision finally ignites, will Clara be ready to face her destiny?
Review:
This book really apealed to me but in other ways it didn't. It was on and off my Amazon wishlist for the last three months. I bought it because it was one of the only ones that wasn't on Pre-Order.
At the start it was slow, it wasn't exciting but that was to begin with. I didn't know it was starting to pull me in, it was like it sneaked up on me and that was when Clara moved from California to Wyomming and she meets Christian. It holds you from that moment on. It holds you as she meets friends and Tucker and as she figures out her purpose.
The characters, some were too overactive for my taste, like Angela and I couldn't get to like her but some were more likeable, like Wendy and Tucker. They were nicer and more believeable as characters.
The only thing I put down on this book is that it had quite a slow start but it did grip you after the first three chapters or so.
