New York Times bestseller
Four Starred Review on Amazon
“A compelling novel of good and evil that will find an audience among girls who can’t get enough of otherworldly characters and situations and heart-wrenching romance.”
School Library Journal
A gripping tale of love and evil from one of Australia's most exciting young authors.
Nothing much happens in Tallow Beach. But when three mysterious teens enrol in the local high school, everything changes. Nobody knows the truth: that they are angels on a mission to save a world on the brink of destruction. When Beth, the youngest, falls for her classmate Xavier, she faces a frightening decision: will she defy the laws of Heaven by loving him? Things come to a head when the angels realise that they are not the only supernatural power in Tallow Beach. The unscrupulous Jack Thorn sees Beth as the easiest target to further his own dark ambitions. The angels and Xavier must use their powers to overcome darkness - but will Beth survive the battle?
“Her [Adornetto’s] dialogue feels fresh and real, pulled from the mouths of her peers without any cultural markers necessary to prove relevance... If it were not for young adult readers like her, the Y.A. boom never would have happened and publishing would be much gloomier.”
The New York Times Book Review
“The 17-year-old author’s angel mythology is solid... there never seem to be enough lengthy tomes to satisfy the legions of paranormal-romance fans, and this first title of a planned trilogy fits the bill.”
