Raised and trained as the ultimate angel/warrior team, they are sent down to save, defend, judge and forgive, depending on the 'life' they've been assigned. What they don't realize is that the power of human emotions, such as love, anger, passion and fear can take over even the best of souls, causing them to make mistakes and follow paths that lead to confusion and heartache.When the reason for their training is finally revealed, the angel/warrior team find themselves thrust into a world they know nothing about. Matt takes over the life of Daniel, a young man with a great deal of baggage. Emily becomes Liz, a girl living in a remote village who relies on nothing more than her own strength to survive. A violent storm erupts one night, and framed in the window of Liz's establishment is a frightening face. Let in by the soul of a Good Samaritan, the two visitors bring with them a past full of secrets that could literally change an angel's path and a warrior's plans.From murder to redemption, this angel/warrior team must find a way to keep the faith they have in each other in a world that's ripping them apart.Review: It took me a long time to be able to write this review. I think I finally might be able to express myself clearly. I really liked the way the novel was written to say it simple. Amy Lignor, didn't just lay the facts out and spell out what was going on. She gave you the clues to the bigger picture, but let you decide what that bigger picture was. To this moment I still don't have a crystal clear image of that picture. You probably are thinking well, I guess that means she didn't like it, but oh contraire. I ADORED IT!! The way the details were laid out and how Lignor treated her storyline was to put it simply amazing and I love that she let me decide what was right from wrong instead of telling me what it was. Amy Lignor paints a breathtaking picture of the fight between good and evil that will leave you concerned for the characters long after the final page has been turned.From the first pages were Emily is dying in a ring of fire (no Johnny Cash pun intended) I fell in love with her as a character. She easily put her emotions aside in ways and then held fast to her beliefs in others. It's those decisions that I could identify with that shaped her personality. Matt is the one I was rooting for obviously and I felt a little sorry for him. I mean his love for Emily seems to be overlooked until the end when the final event happens and you are left thinking one word WOAH!! Daniel I loved, even though he was human his whole personality was not. His ability to love even though he is frightened of what Heaven has done baffles me. I also loved the way the Archangels Michael and Gabriel were personified, one of my favorite representations of them so far!So can I clearly lay out a plot synopsis for you. NO, I can't. It's complex yet written effortlessly simple and will make you question a lot of the decisions you have made so far in your life and think about the ones you have let to make. It's YA fiction like this at it's best that I love, and teens like me need to read. Definitely get this book!
