Willow knows she's different from other girls, and not just because she loves tinkering with cars. Willow has a gift. She can look into the future and know people's dreams and hopes, their sorrows and regrets, just by touching them. She has no idea where this power comes from. But the assassin, Alex, does. Gorgeous, mysterious Alex knows more about Willow than Willow herself does. He knows that her powers link to dark and dangerous forces, and that he's one of the few humans left who can fight them. When Alex finds himself falling in love with his sworn enemy, he discovers that nothing is as it seems, least of all good and evil. In the first book in an action-packed romantic trilogy, L. A. Weatherly sends readers on a thrill ride of a road trip - and depicts the human race at the brink of a future as catastrophic as it is deceptively beautiful.
*MY THOUGHTS*
Wow.... Lets just say.....I was definitely surprised by this book. Why you ask? Let's start by saying, everything you THOUGHT you knew about angels, you thought wrong. Well according to Weatherly. In this novel he takes makes them into terrible creatures who feed off humans and turn them into shells of people with different illnesses, hence the "angel burn."
But then, there's the people that kill these "evil creatures," called Angel Killers, or AK. But then comes Alex who is an AK who meets Willow, who is something different. Then of course, they fall for each other, but end up trying to deny it at all costs. But then they realize that Willow could definitely be of some help to him and things begin to smooth out.
The story itself was a thrilling ride. I could NOT put this book down. Especially at the end. The ending was like... Wow.... And the action in the book was nonstop. Every time I turned a page there was something else Alex had to take care of. It was definitely an enjoyable book.
Overall, I give this *** 1/2 (3 1/2 out of 5)
