All Airel ever wanted was to be normal, to
disappear into the crowd. But bloodlines can produce surprises, like an
incredible ability to heal. Then there’s Michael Alexander, the new guy in
school, who is impossibly gorgeous…and captivated by her. Somewhere in the back
of her mind, she can hear the sound of pages turning, and another, older story
being written. It is the story of an ancient family, of great warriors, of the
Sword of Light, and the struggle against an evil so terrible, so far-reaching,
that it threatens everything. Airel knew change would be an inevitable part of
life. But can she hold on when murder and darkness begin to close in and take
away everything she loves? Will she have what it takes when the truth is
finally revealed?
Airel was
amazing. The cover is so stunning! It was not an easy read and it took me days to finish it, not
something I’m used to. It was an intriguing, beautiful written story, with a lot of mysteries! The book
contains two stories, one in the present and another in a past. It kept me
wondering how they finally would end up together, but it was played out nicely.
It was a long book, divided in 4 parts; I found the last 2 parts the best. The
beginning is kind of slow and I kept wondering where the stories where headed.
The main character Airel (love the name!!) is just a regular girl, but she doesn’t
think highly of herself. She’s a very likeable character; she’s real, down to
earth and easy to connect with. She ends up meeting Michael and he’s all the
mystery. I knew there was something about him, but really I couldn’t figure it
out. I couldn’t figure out what happened with Airel either... The other story contains a main character
named Kreios, trough him you’ve come to know more about angels and Kreios’
history. This story line built the mystery up. I really like that you figure
things out the same time Airel does, I hate it when something is just that
predictable. I recommend this book deeply, it was a great read!
