![]() But Christian does have a girlfriend, and pretty soon Clara has a boyfriend as well – Tucker – the twin brother of her best friend Wendy. The boy turns out to be named Christian Prescott, and he is gorgeous. Soon, Clara and Jeffrey are enrolled in Mountain View High School, and the very first day, Clara sees the boy from her vision. Clara’s mom takes Clara and her younger brother Jeffrey out of school in California and they move to Wyoming. With the help of the license plate on his truck and by identifying the trees in the fire, she ascertains that he is in Teton County, Wyoming. In her vision, there is always a boy by a fire, and Clara decides she is supposed to rescue him. Since that time, she has been having visions or dreams that suggest what her purpose will be, since all angel-bloods have a mission, even if they don’t know at first what it is. ![]() Two years previously, Clara found out she had angel blood (her mother is half-angel). And the charming protagonist, 16-year-old Clara Gardner, makes fun of the genre herself with gentle but effective humor which pulls the reader solidly into her orbit. ![]() The angelic nature of some of the characters is treated as just another teenage problem, in a way. Although I had heard a lot of praise for this series, at first, all I could think was, “gah, more angels in high school.” But this series is actually much better than that brief description would imply. ![]()
