The books were quite enjoyable.  The storyline was a great idea and I purchased book four.  However, I would not be recommending this book to teenagers unless I was to use it as a basis for discussion and education.  I too understood that the lead character was raped and the rapist essentially got away with it.  No angel helped her, neither did the teachers or her colleagues.  In fact everyone was angry with her because they were fed rotten salty porridge and couldn't go to the Phoenix Garden where the called off wedding was to be held. The handsome boyfriend was a suffocating predator, which no one picked up and this was a school in the afterlife filled with good guys?  The overall message to young girls is that you can be raped, but still go back to your rapist, ignore all your doubts and even marry them - that  it is okay for your boyfriend to talk about having you all to himself for all eternity, to come into your room and watch you while you sleep and to be the most controlling man alive.  The age and experience differences between the couple also disturbed me.  Because their relationship was a major thread throughout the books, I feel compelled to write a review based on the main message.  Regardless, I did buy book four because I want to know the outcome.
