Ellie Monroe will be turning 17 soon. She is planning a huge party and is even getting a car from her parents. Everything is going perfect, until she meets Will. Now she is thrust into this unbelievable life of angels and reapers and other inhuman beings. Her nightmares that have plagued her entire life are not nightmares but actual memories. Ellie, who has the ability to wield the angelire, and other angelic reapers are the ones that have been chosen to prevent Lucifer's Second War, the Apocalypse. Will is Ellie's guardian sent to serve and protect her. Together they must find the Enshi, the true soul reaper, and destroy it before Bastian, the powerful vir (humanlike reaper), finds it.

I have very mixed feelings about this book. I liked it but at times it seemed slow moving. Ellie has a tough time accepting the fact that she has been reincarnated many times and is the secret weapon of the angels (trust me, I think I would too). It was confusing at times with all the different types of reapers and angels. There are lengthy explanations throughout the book giving the background of how the reapers were born and the various wars between them and the angels. Since this is the first book, I understand the need for them, but I still at times thought it tedious. The conclusion of the book was a surprise and I will be on the lookout for the second book.
