Category:  YA Paranormal, Romance, Fantasy, Contemporary, Family, ActionReceived from:  Chalie Teh (in exchange for an honest review)Set in Singapore, this story is about several special students attending the Black Gold International College (this would be Junior High and High School to American students).  Averie Teh and Takahashi Sasuke are new students who will complete the last six weeks at their new school.  On the first day, they find that they are also nephilims, children with mortal mothers and archangels as their father.  After school, they train with Sir Albion Savant, a 70-year old nephilim.  They will need to train to help protect the world from Lucifer's plans to conquer the world.This is a well-thought out story with action that keeps moving forward.  I truly felt as though I had traveled to Singapore, England, Japan, and Canada in this story.  The scenes were well-described, but not belabored.  My only criticism for this book is that it does need some editing for American children to understand and some grammar corrections, but only if the author intends to market in the US.I enjoyed this story.  This is Ms. Teh's first novel and I hope she will continue writing.  She has a fresh voice for the young adult genre.  We need to maintain our open ears to listen for her.Recommended for:  12+ young adultsGrammar/editing:  ungraded - book received as an unedited ARC  / errors excused
