What do you do when people are out to kill you and you don't know why?  Lean on the mysterious and sexy hunk who just so happens to always be there to save you, of course.  But, what happens when not even he can help you?  Well, you'll have to find the faith in yourself, which is just what Lily Ainsworth has to do as she realizes there's more to our world than meets the eye.I really enjoyed this book.  The flow was great, the characters and their actions believable, the setting well described, and the atmosphere (particularly in the supernatural scenes) was tangible.  Although billed as a paranormal romance with Lily and Leo being the main characters, there were three romantic storylines that I'm glad we got to read as there own little sections instead of being told about them (particularly the blast to the past scenes with Lily's mom and dad).  Emotional entanglements made the major factor in the romance scenes although one of the relationships seemed more based on lust and had a sex scene that was present although not described in graphic detail, which is why I'd say the heat level was around low to medium.Aside from the romance factor, there was a lot of suspense and mystery.  I loved how the answers slowly revealed themselves over the course of the book.  Angels and demons play a big role in the novel so there is a religious aspect and some discussion about faith, although I wouldn't consider this religious fiction (although gets close with some of the discussions and introspection scenes.I was very unpleasantly surprised that there were many unanswered questions and a few minor cliffhangers at the end.  I hadn't realized that this is the first book in a planned series, so since this isn't standalone (although can be kinda read like one since there is some resolution), I'm going to have to wait to see what happened to so many of the characters that I grew to care about in this novel.  I don't mind reading series, but I'd like to know before starting a book.  Despite that, I do still give the story a 5 out of 5, because it was a great read.(Originally posted on my blog; I was given a gift copy in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.)
