Two months ago, all was perfect for Roxie Sebastian. She felt complete for the first time in her life after fusing with her lost angel soul. Also? She'd kind of saved the world, preventing a rogue angel from tearing open a rift that could have destroyed humanity and much more.

So why does everything suck so much? It's not enough that her angel-assigned mission prevents her from going to college and forces her to lie to her parents. The cool powers that come along with being half angel? She sucks at them. The awesome boyfriend who helped her save her soul? He's totally jealous and clingy, just because he saw Roxie get kissed by the only other angel hybrid her age. And now, she finds out that angels aren't the whole story. There are shadows, too, and a centuries-old battle between angels and shadows that has somehow put Roxie right in the middle.

Forget fake homework and the easy, memorable summer-before-college she's not having—the stakes are suddenly life or death, and the main casualty could be the one person she can't live without.
