Megan Hand's Bitter Angel begins like a rocket - full of energy - and takes you headed straight for the moon.  It begins with three friends preparing to out for the night to celebrate a birthday.  No big deal, right?  When one is confronted with a decision, it ultimately leads to a nightmare sequence that may or may not be a premonition.  Megan takes you by the throat with Bitter Angel and never lets you go!I'm not usually one who enjoys reading stories in the first person, usually because it's difficult to pull it off.  Most stories either become bogged down with boring details from the narrator's point of view or the author isn't skilled enough to keep to the point-of-view and head-hops.  Megan did it with remarkable talent and genuine accuracy.Because the "dreams" (are they?) are a sort of premonition, I guess, technically, this would be considered a <em>paranormal </em>thriller but there are definitely romance elements (I think I'm in love with Jay!) It's a novel with a story that it completely unbelievable but the author seeps you in an unlikely scenario and convinces that it is not only possible but that you are in the midst of living it with the character.  That is the mark of a truly talented author and I can't wait to read more from her.
