When Gabby arrives at Mercy Academy she just wants to be normal and blend in. But before she even sets foot on school grounds she has an altercation with Colt, one of the teachers. Then strange things start to happen. Gabby has blackouts where she doesn't know where she's been or what she's been doing. At the same time gruesome murders are taking place nearby. When she's suddenly attacked Gabby has to face the fact that she's not normal at all; she's an angel. And the school is a battleground for angels and demons...
This book takes place before the Keepers of the Grail series and we get the backstory for Gabby and Colt. Since I've read the two books released from that series it makes this even more interesting. I was a little surprised by Gabby's reluctance to accept that she's an angel, since she seems very sure of herself in the Keepers of the Grail series. At first I thought she knew her background, and that she just didn't want to acknowledge her angel side, but that wasn't the case.
If this had been my first book in this universe I would have been a bit more sceptical of Colt, at least to begin with. Now that I have access to more information, pluss the fact that we get both Gabby's and Colt's POV's, I only feel intrigued. I also find their ignorance of each others background to be quite charming. Little do they know that they're supposed to be sworn enemies...
There are some minor details that disturb me, but nothing big enough to affect my overall impression. The remaining feeling is how hard it was to put down! Although, I'm happy to know the book has gone through some more editing since I received my ARC, because there were quite a few errors in there.
If you enjoy the battle between angels and demons, classic good versus evil, with a slightly complicated slow burn romance, then this is a book for you!
