Heaven-sent?

Ellie was never particularly good at talking to boys—or anyone other than her best friend and fellow outcast, Ruth. Then she met Michael.

Michael is handsome, charming, sweet. And totally into Ellie. It’s no wonder she is instantly drawn to him. But Michael has a secret. And he knows Ellie is hiding something, too. They’ve both discovered they have powers beyond their imagining. Powers that are otherworldly.

Ellie and Michael are determined to uncover what they are, and how they got this way . . . together. But the truth has repercussions neither could have imagined. Soon they find themselves center stage in an ancient conflict that threatens to destroy everything they love. And it is no longer clear whether Ellie and Michael will choose the same side.

In this electrifying novel, Heather Terrell spins a gripping supernatural tale about true love, destiny, and the battle of good versus evil.

The cover. Just look at it! This is what first drew me into this book. Then I read the synopsis, and I thought it sounded pretty interesting. But I was slightly disappointed. 

The characters are unique. I liked Ellie. And I liked Michael. The relationship the two have just instantly combusts! I get why this happened, but then again I felt like I didn't get to know the characters like I would have wanted to. The characters where a little flat. I felt like if they where developed a little further, then I would have liked this novel even more.

I loved the plot. Heather takes you on plenty of twist and turns. This really had a well thought out plot, and the cliff hanger! Ahh it killed me! Good thing I have Eternity on my shelf already. (And might I add it's cover is just as pretty!)

I also loved how Heather included religion, and old readings in her story. The only other book that does this, that I have read, is The Dark Divine. I love the mention of religion. I you didn't know I am Catholic, and the stuff mentioned in Fallen Angel interests me.

As I have said before I absolutely love the cover! Now if only it was in Hardback...Hmm.

Overall this book was enjoyable. It was fast-paced and full of action toward the end. I warn you about the cliff-hanger! Make sure you have a way to get Eternity quick! Because you will most likely want to read it right after Fallen  Angel. :D
