Angel Eyes by Shannon Dittemore

3.0

After the murder of her best friend, teenage ballerina Brielle returns to her widowed dad and her Oregon hometown. At school, she meets Jake, who inexplicably makes her feel safe for the first time since the murder. Before long, she learns the true natures of Jake and his guardian, and her eyes are opened to another realm she never knew existed.

If I had to encapsulate this story, I'd say it's Twilight meets Frank Peretti's This Present Darkness (which I read multiple times as a teenager). It's faithy without being mega-cheesy or pushy - a good addition to the growing Christian YA genre. I enjoyed it and will look for the sequels!
