They both do things that will make you think that you understand their motives only to be turned upside down by the their next moves. These two characters and the rules surrounds them makes the story more mysteriously intriguing.Īsher and Devin both claim to have feelings for Skye despite the rules and regulations of their mission, but the sincerity of their claims were constantly put into questions. While Asher the typical bad boy represents the rebels. Devin is the calm and peaceful one who represents the orders. These two angels both pop up to Skye’s life claiming to help her discover her real identity and possible powers she may possess. One human who get the unrequited love and two angels who were both mysterious in every move they make. She has a two best friends, Cassie and Dan and three admirers. Skye is a an orphan trying to live a normal life when she starts to notice strange things going on. So I keep reading in spite of a slow pacing and a typical paranormal YA setup. Obviously there is some paranormal identity in them that I need to know. After few pages of reading I still can’t figure out the story is all about though my curiosity never leave me wanting to explore more especially when the two mysterious characters suddenly pop up. I dive into this book without knowing anything about it. Torn between Asher, who she can’t help falling for, and Devin, who she can’t stay away from, the consequences of Skye’s choice will reach further than the three of them could ever imagine. In the dead of a bitingly cold Colorado winter, Skye finds herself coming to terms with the impossible secret that threatens to shatter her world.

Soon she begins to doubt not just the identity of the two boys, but also the truth about her own past. She has no idea what they want, or why they seem to follow her every move-only that their presence coincides with a flurry of strange events. Their sudden appearance sends Skye’s life into a tailspin. Complete opposites-like fire and ice-Asher is dark and wild, while Devin is fair and aloof. On the night of Skye’s seventeenth birthday, she meets two enigmatic strangers.

“As I watched her soar gracefully over the treetops, I couldn’t help but think that sometimes beauty camouflaged the ugliest creatures.”
