This book semi-surprised me. It kind of started off as another "awkward teen falls for gorgeous boy" type situation but it ended up being a little more than that. I liked the whole Angel vs Satan part of it, I also like that Haven wasn't a completely stupid girl and realized things at the hotel were off. The book didn't really "wow" me but the ending definitely made me look forward to seeing what happens in this universe.
