Wow, there were so many things I enjoyed about this book. It was exactly what I was looking for - a sweet, cute, romantic read. I read through it quickly because I just had to know what would happen to the characters. Speaking of characters, I have to say that I absolutely loved the character of Finn. I've never seen a character in YA fiction with Asperger's, and it was refreshing to read about such a character in a YA novel for once -- well done, AJ Messenger! I adored him from the moment he first appeared and many of his lines made me laugh out loud. Nice to have some diversity in the cast. The main character, Declan, was also very likeable. As someone who has struggled with anxiety and panic attacks in the past, I could definitely relate to her struggles. Again, nice to see characters with three dimensional problems and personalities. I also really liked all the parents in the book, especially Declan's relationship with her mom, which was very sweet. Finally I enjoyed the refreshing take on angels and energy and good vs evil. It made the story unique and fresh. The romance between Alexander and Declan felt real and not rushed or cheesy, and you can't help but root for them and their powerful love. Definitely recommend for fans of angel romances.

Heartfelt love story that is sweet, interesting, and written well.
What I liked: I loved the heroine. She wasn't wildly stupid like you see in series' like this (i.e. doing things she shouldn't just to spite people) and she actually listens to the dangers going on around her. She doesn't let a new romance ruin her life or her friendships. It was refreshing to have a heroine do the right thing even if it was killing her, rather than do what was easy and create even more problems for herself and those around her. LOVED that about her. The romance was honest and pure and the characters really did work towards having a real relationship. Finally, how the author ended the book was downright adorable, and again done well. It left the story open for more to be written, but wasn't a cliffhanger. Props to the author for that, because lately all the books I've read have either had a poor ending, or they all end in cliffhangers.
What I didn't like: The author does this build up to the climax of the book, and when you get there it falls kinda flat. I know the scene that was supposed to be *it* but it just felt like a battle before the war. Overall a minor complaint in my opinion for a well done and enjoyable book.

Loved the entire series. It sweeps you up and it makes you wish you were the girl in the story. Recommend.

I first started to read this as something I downloaded on a whim. Soon it sucked me in and I found myself reading it two or three times a month. It reminds one that even the best fail, and even the weak come out on top sometimes. The length was long enough that you can actually spend a day or two reading it. My only downside was the way it skirted around the death of her father. I realize that there are other installments being added to the series, so I'm waiting for some real revelations on her grief or some hindsight that can add to the theme.

Declan Jane is a normal teenage girl plagued with anxiety or is it more? When the new kid Alexander comes along and turns her usual crazy life upside down. Love is what we make it why not make it great!

A cross between Twilight, Fallen (by Lauren Kate), and A Shade of Vampire (by Bella Forrest). Such a beautiful story and very well written. So glad Amazon recommended this book for me! Now on to Book 2! 😊

Easy reading book. There is no bad language or inappropriate content. Enjoyed very much, and went right into the 2nd book. Now just waiting for the 3rd. Sometimes when you get series, they seem to be short. I think they could have made one book from the 2, but they got me hooked.

Beautiful, fast and clean read. It could have been a little more detailed for my taste. I'll get the second book and see what will happen!
