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?

MY THOUGHTS
I wasn't quite sure I was going to like this book or not. I guess I was thinking along other lines as to what I was expecting. I was thinking it was going to be about somebody speaking to angels. Well, that's not quite what it's about. As I read I found that the book was touching my heart. It's not all sweet and goody goody. It has it's deep dark moments. It's a struggle between good and evil.As I read I started to really enjoy the characters and wanting to know more about them. It takes place in Manhattan at Millennium High School. Ali Maney is a teenager attending the high school and she is just an ordinary everyday girl, living a rather dull life. Her home city of Manhattan is a rather calm city where very few bad things happen. That is, a normal day in class, a football star, Tyler suddenly leaps off the roof of the school. Was this an accident or did Tyler intend to commit suicide? Ali and her friends start to notice some strange things. It didn't add up. For some reason, a couple of boys start to take note of her. One of the boys is the town's "bad" boy, Daemon. Look at the name, interesting? Then some new kids come to school. Kian is one of them and he seems like he likes her too. She never had two guys after her at the same time. She never had any guys after her at all. But, what is this all about? Two guys liking her, the football star leaping or being pushed off the roof? Questions to be answered. Ali starts to get to know the two boys and finds some things that are disturbing. Unknown to Ali, some forces beyond her control are also working either against her or for her. You'll have to read to find out.
We have a bad boy and we have a good boy. One is out to kill her and the other is out to save her. You may be surprised to find out which is which. I was. As we all know, nothing is as it seems, ever! Has Ali stepped beyond the safe line? Has she gone into a space that she can't get out of? The author wrote a thought provoking read that will keep you on your toes trying to answer questions and trying to decide who is evil and who is good. Is it possible one is an angel and one is a devil? Think hard on this one. I'm ready for book two.
This is the first in a series, Angel Fire Chronicles.
I would suggest reading the series in order although they are stand alone books.
I received a complimentary CD book from the author and voluntarily decided to review it.
I would give this book 4 STARS.
