There's something achingly familiar about Daniel Grigori.
Mysterious and aloof, he captures Luce Price's attention from the moment she sees him on her first day at the Sword & Cross boarding school in sultry Savannah, Georgia. He's the one bright spot in a place where cell phones are forbidden, the other students are all screw-ups, and security cameras watch every move.
Even though Daniel wants nothing to do with Luce-and goes out of his way to make that very clear-she can't let it go. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, she has to find out what Daniel is so desperate to keep secret . . . even if it kills her.

Angsty teenaged love with angels and reincarnation.
It wasn't a bad book, but I may be reaching my yearly quota of books with young, dull heroines pining over their boyfriends.
Although, Cam sounded like a hot tamale.
I've been wanting to read this for a while and... it was okay. Weird Twilight with angels instead of vamps. Not sure if I should continue with the series. Did you guys enjoy the second book? If not, please send me some audiobooks you like :)
Love how it highlights the gray area between good and evil.
