Synopsis
Seventeen-year-old Grace Ann Miller is no
ordinary runaway. After missing for weeks, Grace is found on the estate of
international rock star Gavin Vault, half-dressed and yelling for help. Over the
course of twenty-four hours Grace holds an entire police force captive with
incredulous tales of angels, demons, and war; intent on saving Gavin from
lockup, and her family from worry over her safety. But instead, authorities
believe that Grace is ill, and suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, the victim of
assault and a severely fractured mind. Undeterred, Grace reveals the secret
existence of dark angels on earth, an ancient prophecy and a wretched curse
steeped in Biblical myth. Grace’s claims set into motion an ages-old war,
resulting in blood, death and the loss of everything that matters. But are these
the delusions of an immensely sick girl, or could Grace’s story actually be
true? Praefatio is Grace’s account of weeks on the run, falling in love and
losing everything but her faith. Who do you believe?
My Thoughts:
This book started out a little slow for me. I couldn't get the characters straight and I wasn't sure what was going on. Then everything fell into place and I couldn't stop reading! I was so glad to see the main character, Grace, not some wimpy, "oh woe is me" heroine. This girl is kicking ass and taking names! I couldn't stand Gavin but I warmed up to him eventually. Grace's "brother", Remi, made me fall in love with him. My heart broke for him a couple of times. As you can see, I loved everything about this book! The world building was incredible and I could totally see these places in my mind. That was good because this was the first book I've read with angels in it and it was very descriptive. I liked the biblical terms and it was helpful to understand. The book and characters didn't leave me once the book was finished. They stayed with me and made me want the sequel that much more! At least I heard about a sequel. I hope it's true!
