From Goodreads: On the night of Skye’s seventeenth birthday, she meets two enigmatic strangers. Complete opposites—like fire and ice—Asher is dark and wild, while Devin is fair and aloof. Their sudden appearance sends Skye’s life into a tailspin. She has no idea what they want, or why they seem to follow her every move—only that their presence coincides with a flurry of strange events. Soon she begins to doubt not just the identity of the two boys, but also the truth about her own past.

In the dead of a bitingly cold Colorado winter, Skye finds herself coming to terms with the impossible secret that threatens to shatter her world. Torn between Asher, who she can’t help falling for, and Devin, who she can’t stay away from, the consequences of Skye’s choice will reach further than the three of them could ever imagine.

HarperCollins has been extremely gracious in allowing me to read an ARC of this novel, via Netgalley, prior to its release today, and it pains me to say that I wasn’t enamored while reading this story.  The premise sounded promising, but I found that I, personally, never connected with the storyline. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t hate the book; it was very well written, but I didn’t love it like I thought I would, based on the many reviews I read prior to reading the novel.  My lack of connection to any of the characters is the main reason why I didn’t fall in love. 

I’m not sure what it was about these characters, but I never found a connection point between us.  I was hoping that I would feel some kindred with one of Skye’s suitors, either Asher and Devin, but I found that neither of them struck my fancy, which made me somewhat sad.  I love novels about angels, especially fallen angels, and so I thought this novel would be right up my alley.  Now, like I said before, I’ve read a lot of great reviews about his novel, and there are tons of them!!!  That being said, I do recommend others read this book, because my personal reaction seems to be in the lower spectrum of the rating scale for this book.  I, personally, thought it was okay, but many readers did fall in love with this story and the characters, so be sure to check this one out.  Also, don’t be surprised, there is a huge cliffhanger at the end, which I thought was actually kind of cool… I just don’t know if I’ll be reading the rest of this series to find out what happens… we’ll see.  Two stars.
