3/5 STARS

Sixteen-year-old, Skyla Messenger is a dead girl walking.

When her newly remarried mother moves the family to Paragon Island, to a house that is rumored to be haunted, Skyla finds refuge in Logan Oliver, a boy who shares her unique ability to read minds.

Skyla discovers Logan holds the answers to the questions she’s been looking for, but Logan’s reluctance to give her the knowledge she desires leaves her believing Logan has a few secrets of his own.

Skyla’s bloodlines may just be connected to the most powerful angelic beings that roam the earth, and the more she knows, the more danger she seems to be in.

Suddenly an entire faction of earthbound angels wants her dead, at least she still has Logan, or does she?

Review:

   This book was a good read but it wasn't one of my favorites. I thought that the book was really quick. In the first chapter the protagonist, Skyla, moves to a new town and BAM! she has a new best friend. Then a few chapters later she gets a boyfriend. I thought that the story should of at least take some time to develop. But putting that aside I did like the book.

   I always like new and unique versions of stories, which in this case is the story of Nephilim. In this book the Nephilim are divided into groups instead of being all the same. The group that are in charge of the Nephilim are the Countenance and they're the ones who you have to watch out for.

   I love the fact that the romance isn't too lovey dovey like many books and I quite enjoy the scenes with Logan and Skyla. The boy is beautiful and I love when they talk to each other by reading each other's mind. (Talking about both of them reading minds, I laughed at the part when they found out that they both had the same ability.)

   Even though the beginning was fast I did like the book and the ending of it proves that many more things are going to be happening, which means I'm definitely going to read the rest of the Celestra series.
