I was given this book in return for an honest review.  A tragedy leads to Riley and sister Amber being sent to live in the Abbey with their aunt, Lady Ky. She is a cold, distant, and judgmental woman. The Abbey, where they live is a world unto itself, although Riley attends school, she is otherwise kind of secluded and protected inside of the Abbey. Riley is a very spirited character in the beginning. Cursing and breaking rules. Riley has close friends, thankfully, because she needs them desperately throughout this book. Jacin, Lita, Monroe(her best friend),and Conor. They will end up playing an intricate part in the story. As if her life wasn't hard enough, Riley begins to have some strange experiences, a mans face floating outside her window, a teachers unwarranted verbal attack, a voice only she can hear, and cryptic warnings from friends and family. Her friends are not all that they appear, they possess some abilities that will be needed if she is going to survive this ordeal. Riley will end up coming face to face with the angels and demons that she didn't know existed and who is good and bad is unclear.  She ends up with the mysterious Marcas, who may or may not be on her side, and may or may not be good. Will she make the right choices and survive this battle or will she succumb to the darkness? Who can she really trust? Her friends will join the battle against evil while she treks around looking for a mysterious Ring. The evil Lilith wants her dead and the thing that she thinks will save them all, may not be enough. After all is said and done, after everything she has to go through, this is not the end, it is only the beginning.  Awesome, original story. I love not knowing what is happening, as I am pretty good at judging what is going to happen in books. I still am not sure about a few of the characters, and that makes it fun for me. I am  looking forward to the next book. Must add to TBR list if you haven't already.
