What if everything you believed was a lie?

A Suicide
Seventeen year old Allison Maney attends Millennium High School in Manhattan. Nothing out of the ordinary, unless you consider the occasional suicides at the school. At least that is what everyone is told, what everyone believes. But Tommy Bachelor was a popular football player; why would he jump off the roof of the school?

Dangerous Liaisons
When Dameon pays attention to Ali, she couldn’t be more excited, because for the past three months he was all she could think about. But now that Dameon is finally pining for her affections, she is becoming more and more wrapped up in a clique of three who, as new transfers to the school, are proving to be trouble. But at least Dameon loves her, doesn’t he?

Kian- a dangerous love interest she did not ask for.
Powers- belonging to an underworld she never knew existed.
A Clique- that could be friends or foes?

A Soul Purpose
The underworld of angels and demons have one thing on their mind: Earth.
Demons want to do what they want.
Angels want to protect humans from these rogue angels, AKA: Demons
For Allison Maney, everything is not exactly what it seems…

A Suspenseful Romance

Caught between Dameon and Kian, the suicide and the clique of three,
Ali won’t know who to trust…or who to love.

Ali Maney thinks she’s just hit the high school jackpot when the hottest guy in the school starts paying attention to her, but she soon learns that the death of a classmate and the dark, hot Dameon are linked together and she’s the next target for the sinister Dark Angel.

With the help of a group of newbies:  Kian, Krysta and Nathaniel..who are AngelFire (angels for all intents and purposes),  Ali tries to come to grips with the the reality that angels and demons do exist, while helping her new friends find a way to trap Dameon in hopes of stopping the demons from running wild in New York City.

As I’ve said before, I’m not generally a big angel story fan, but this one that I enjoyed. Ali was a girl who just wanted to be loved.  She thought she finally found that in Dameon, but again, she finds that he didn’t really want her…he wanted to get rid of her.  But when she finally decides to trust in the group of newbies who have befriended her best friends, she finds the one person who loves her for who she is. 

Kian, having spent most of his life living on the streets, is found by the AngelFire leader and now living amongst his kind.  While he did his job, he was still an outsider.  But when he find Ali, he finds the reason in his life.  He knows he must follow the rules and he cannot have any kind of intimate contact with Ali, Kian knows he will do whatever is necessary to protect Ali from Dameon and those like him.

Ami Blackwelder does an excellent job of creating a storyline and characters that has your attention locked from the very beginning.  I will definitely be looking for the next installment in the series.
