This was somewhat epic with as much information was given and action endured.  In many ways it reminded me ofCity of Bones (Mortal Instruments)by Cassandra Clare because the characters were created by angels and fought demons.  I wasn't sure that I liked it when I started it, but by the time I was half way through, I couldn't put it down and desperately wish Lethed (book 2 in Feb 2013) was already out!  (More interesting cover would really help these books out).Sylva Lark had been in an accident that left her in a coma for awhile.  After waking up she learned that her whole family had moved from Portland, Oregon and that she had a raised intricate marking on her back that glows.  She is told the mark is from her surgery and that she would be assigned a transition buddy to help her adjust to her new school.  She is assigned Attic, a gorgeous man-whore who irritates her.  Sylva makes her own friends at school, Maggie and the gay Marcus and is also attracted to the cute boy Jason.Sylva eventually comes to realize that the emblem on her back is a warning to her that Attic is near or something dangerous is happening.  One day while at Jason's boat, she feels a death blow to her back and hears a scream.  She leaves to discover a body cut up into triangles with the same emblem as on her back, on one of the pieces.  Atticus finally reveals who and what she now is and that she has to leave everyone she knows.This book had suspense, action, romance, super powers, an ancient history and prophecy.  Sylva was a likeable character until some mistakes she makes in the end, but her heart was in the right place.  Atticus (Attic) was always with a different girl, but seemed to like Sylva.  The ending explains his frustration with his feelings and his desire to do the right thing.Some editing issues: missing words and misspelled words (letters missing).Would I/Did I buy it? YesWould I read it again?  For ReviewWould I recommend it to friends? Yes
