But now their love will be put to its highest test yet, as they defy Heavenly law and marry. They don’t tell Beth’s archangel siblings, Gabriel and Ivy, but the angels know soon enough, and punishment comes in a terrifying form: the Sevens, who are rogue angels bent on keeping Beth and Xavier apart, destroying Gabriel and Ivy, and darkening angelic power in the heavens. The only way Bethany and can elude the Sevens is to hide in the open, and blend in with other mortals their own age. Gabriel and Ivy set them up at college, where they can’t reveal their relationship, and where there is still danger around each corner. Will Bethany be called back to Heaven – forever – and face leaving the love of her life?" (http://us.macmillan.com/)

How I obtained the book: Bought for $8.98 through Amazon using a giftcard I earned through Plink.com

My commentary:
  • Before having sex for the first time (without protection), Xavier tells Bethany, "I'll be careful." As I read this, all I could think was, "Famous last words of every boy who becomes a teenage father."

Memorable quotes:
  • "That is when you need faith the most. Not when everything is going your way, not when you have much to be thankful for, but when there is darkness all around."
  • "If you try to use Christ as a solution to your problems, it will not work. You have to serve Him in order for Him to serve you." ~ Gabriel
