I feel like I'm being taken over.One fallen angel walks the earth to bring mankind to its destruction, turning love into hate, forgiveness into blame, and hope into despair.

Among the plethora of paranormal stories which have swamped the market recently, this one will stand out for its freshness of approach and the quality of its writing. A sequel, please!"  —Bookbag"Rich in paranoia, fear, and runs along at a frantic pace . . . creepy and utterly compelling! It may well be the best YA paranormal fantasy book I read this year."  —Teen Librarian"You'd be forgiven for thinking this might be another of those urban fantasies like Twilight that feature romantic interludes between vampires and werewolves—but don't be deceived. This is a fantastic piece of writing. . . . Exceptionally good."  —Books Monthly"A taut plot and sympathetic characters will draw in most teens."  —School Library Journal About the AuthorBryony Pearce is a debut novelist.
