I was given this book in return for an honest review. Elora is a high school student who basically lives by herself, her parents are never there for her and she is completely self sufficient. Her best friend since the age of 6 is a christian boy  named Thomas. He is more like her parent than her parents are and he is the only person she truly relies on. Elora does not really believe in god or religion in general. But when she starts hearing strange things and feeling like she is being watched, she thinks she might be going crazy. Enter Jack, a beautiful young man of mystery who she needs answers from but can't get them. Eventually she finds out he is an angel, she adapts to the idea fairly quickly considering she doesn't believe in them. Elora keeps getting attacked by an unknown and unseen assailant and Raziel pretty much moves into her house to protect her. Elora starts doing research into the Nephilim, although the angels do not believe that they exist. Elora is convinced a Nephilim is behind the attacks, although she doesn't know why. After a particularly heinous attack on Elora, she awakes in the hospital to find that a new angel, Barachiel is there. Raziel is missing and the angels can't find him. She goes into such a deep depresion that even Thomas has stopped interacting with her, her only contact at this point is Barachiel, who she is developing a deep friendship with. When he also goes missing, she decides enough is enough, she is going to find out what is going on even if it kills her. Enter Lucifer, who is fascinated by her and even seems to like her on some level. He pops in throughout the book to help her out. She enlists Thomas's help and shares the whole story with him.  She has to figure out who has the angels, where they are and how to save them before it's too late. But at what cost?  I enjoyed this story immensely, is it bad that my favorite character was Lucifer??  He was fantastic, engaging and quite funny in this book. I'm going to be watching for the next book, because there is definately more to this story. WaAr
