One girl has led many lives. The balance lies in her hands. However, she's a little fuzzy on all the facts.

I really enjoyed this book and am eager to start the next book. I love this idea of angel-human love, the "cycle" of their lives intersecting and the battle between the fallen. The book is filled with many different characters: Molly the mean girl, Daniel the brooding beautiful boy, Cam the charmer, Gabbe the southern belle, Airrel the wacky one, Penn the faithful friend, and many more.

You have to be patient, and like, earn the details, but when you see it all coming together, it is really great.
