Love and destiny wait for no one.

Skyla Messenger is in the arms of death.

While Skyla awaits the verdict of the faction war, she makes some troubling discoveries. Covenants that were sealed in the past come back to haunt her, and she must make hard decisions that will effect all those around her.


It took me forever to read this book because it was the last one and I did not want to leave Logan, Gage and Skyla. Now I know that their story will continue and I am thrilled! Their highschool years could not have ended any better.

Addison Moore suprised me. I just knew that someone was going to be upset with the ending, but she really figured out a way to make everyone happy. Yes, there is still heartbreak but in a bitter sweet way. I was an emotional rollercoster reading this. Many times I wanted to cry, the ache for Skyla ran so deep, but I just kept reading to my suprise the mood changes.

Addison you are an amazing author. The surprises just keep coming. Who else could make death so romantic? Celestra Forever After cannot get here fast enough! While I'm waiting Perfect Love sounds like a good place to start.

The last thing Laken Stewart remembers is the oncoming car, then bursting through the windshield.

Two months dissolve without her knowledge and she finds herself in unfamiliar surroundings with strangers who not only profess to know her but insist she’s someone else entirely.

Laken discovers her long dead boyfriend, Wesley, has been thrown into this alternate world as well. He is quick to inform her she suffered a horrible fall and that her memory hasn’t fully returned. According to Wesley the other life she had—her name, her family, they were simply a side effect of her brain trauma.

In her quest for answers she meets Cooper Flanders, the son of her psychiatrist who readily believes every word she says.

Laken Stewart knows she died on that hot July afternoon, but now she’s alive—or is she?

My Review

Something’s is wrong and Laken is not sure what to believe.  Everyone is trying to tell her that she fell and hit her head and that is what has her memory messed up.  It’s not that her memory is just messed up though.  She believes that she has lived an entirely different life than what those around her think.

Now it is up to Laken to find the truth.  Can she reconnect with what she thinks to be her dead boyfriend from her former life, Wesley?    He tells her that she is an Angel, a real Angel, known as a Count.  All she knows is that if she is here in this alternate reality she has to find out what happened to the rest of her family, and she is going to need help to do it. That’s where Cooper Flanders comes in.

This book surely compares to the Celestra Series.  There is good looking guys, mean girls, and monsters of all kinds.  Looking forward to the 2^nd book.

I kinda became addicted to the Celestra series.  So you can imagine how happy I was to see that there was going to be a spin off coming out before the ending of the series.  I was worried that it wouldn’t live up to Skyla, Gage and Logan’s story.  Although it is different, I think it is shaping up to be a great addition to Addison Moore’s writing.
