** Originally written for Book Bliss book blog. I received a copy of the book in exchange for an unbiased and honest review**Review: 3.5 starsGeneral: Overall this was an entertaining YA read. I liked the creative spin that was given to the Angels in this book because it helped to set them apart from many other angels - in any genre and age group. However, the plot itself lacked much spunk. It was still a good read and I enjoyed the book but aside from Sophia's "power" it didn't offer anything different idea wise than any YA - girl comes to town, girl meets hot, popular boy and so forth. It was a well written story with compelling characters and an intriguing backstory but not the most entertaining front story.The world building and characters in this book were top notch. I loved the concept of actual guardian angels - not so much how we meet Michael because Sophia's "position" at the paper felt very contrite and disbelievable. The overall idea was original and something I really enjoyed. Especially the invisibility element and Sophia's actual power. Also, Sophia was a great character. She was strong, mostly level headed and passionate. I loved her wit as well. Michael was a strong "teen" and I liked it. I also liked that a lot of the time he really was just a teen and acted accordingly.
