For fans of STORM AND FURY and MORTAL INSTRUMENTS. It's been over ten years since fifteen-year-old Zoey Taylor wandered away from her family home in the middle of the night. Or so she's been told, repeatedly, by her mother—but the only thing Zoey knows for sure is that when her older brother, Corinth, found her in the woods, safe and unharmed, she returned with a crippling fear of the dark and no other memories from those lost days—except strange flashes of sharp teeth and red-flaming hair. Since that time, she's become a star pupil and is on track to graduate early . . . if, and that's a big IF, her overprotective family doesn't get in the way of her dreams first. But when one of the wealthiest, enigmatic philanthropists on the planet—Gabriel Stanton—shows up on her doorstep on Thanksgiving Day and reveals the truth about what really happened to her all those years ago, it completely shatters her perception of the world. And the story isn't anything like what she's been told. The Ascended Guardians series is a supernatural thrill-ride that never lets up.

I had a good time. While the beginning gave me YA vibes, it quickly turned not-YA over the course of the book. It was super action-packed and exciting, although I think I may have missed out on some details or just not have known the backstory from the original series since I haven't read it. Quite a lot of times I felt like this book was continuing a whole history that I'm not really aware of, like this great war between the vampires and the angels? How and why did Corinth kinda take away the vampires' vampiric natures? How and why is he a Nephilim? I think it's mentioned that he has an angelic father, so is Susan still his mother? If yes, how and why did that procreation happen? Why did Gabriel kidnap Zoey when she was 5? (Not sure if this was answered in the book or not) Is Zoey gonna turn out special like Corinth? I really thought Zoey was going to suddenly unleash and do some OP thing to defeat Angela and/or Trevor at the end, but that didn't happen. I also can't really believe Peter is dead somehow, I feel like he'll come back in the later books
