I'm not one to usually read Young adult or paranormal-themed books, but I thought it was time to get out of my comfort zone and try reading something a little different (not Amish fiction). Angel Eyes by Shannon Dittemore is the story of Brielle, who had been going to school in the city when tragedy struck her best friend. She moved back to the small town she grew up in to continue High School, wracked with grief and guilt. She struggles to get through each day, always thinking about her best friend and also her mother, who passed away when she was younger.
Jake is the new boy at school, and there is something strange about him-he always shows up wherever she is, and he's warm-literally. His skin is very warm to the touch. She is drawn to him, and soon discovers there are angels and demons among them. Together Brielle and Jake fight for what is good, as Brielle discovers a deeper faith and healing.
Angel Eyes kept me interested through the entire story. Although its not what I would normally choose to read, it was better than I expected! This would be a good book for an older teenager or young adult. To read more about author Shannon Dittemore, go to http://www.shannondittemore.com/.

Thank you, Athena, for taking time to read and review Angel Eyes. Especially since you don't normally read YA. I appreciate it more than you know. God bless!
