A new guy named Michael has been watching Ellie at school. It is soon revealed that he remembers Ellie from a trip their families took years ago, though Ellie has no similar recollection. But being near Michael awakens her desire to learn the truth about herself, which seems that only Michael knows. Guess what? Her recurrent dreams about flying are not dreams after all, as the two really can fly. That’s not all: both teens can read people’s thoughts, and each has developed a taste for blood. Ellie fears that they are vampires until her parents finally tell her the truth about the biblical story of fallen angels. Soon evil is following Ellie, and the teens are forced to choose which side of the ancient battle to align with. Yes, this is yet another entry into the crowded vampire/angel genre of series fiction. There is not a whole lot to set this apart from other recent examples, though the religious aspect is a nice twist, and fans with an insatiable appetite will eat this up, too. Grades 9-12. --Shauna Yusko
