Despite her father’s attempts to reach her, she flies over the waterfall.
When Allister Parks finds Britt’s fragile body on the riverbank something calls out to him. Ignoring the warnings of his sister, Allister brings Britt back from the edge of death.

Allister struggles to keep Britt a secret from the Eternal Council and out of the hands of the only Eternal who already knows the truth: the one who stole her guardian angel.
Review:
This book caught my attention right away. I am sure we all know someone who has suffered with cancer. One of my closest friends is battling today. I wasn’t sure where this book would go and how would Yelle get us there. From the very beginning, we are introduced to the trials of life and decisions that we have the power to make. My first thought was this book will be about cancer but it was more about life. Britt is a strong young girl who faces challenges in her life and after given another chance, pushes through with determination even in her confusion about what is happening. Allister, the Eternal, is smitten with Britt. There is something about her that attracts many of the characters to her -- Eternals and Angels alike.
Yelle delivers a paranormal twist with Angels and Eternals that was very intriguing and mysterious. I loved the characters and the depths of each that brought so much power to this book. Yelle takes you along a journey of emotions. The suspense along with the mystery is amazing. I took something away with this reading, No matter what the situation is, keep pushing and never give up. Fight till there is no fight left and to be strong in the face of adversity.
Rated 4 Stars

REVIEW:
I am willing to read just about anything but I wasn't sure if I would be able to read this. My husband is battling cancer so I find it difficult to read books that involve a battle with this serial killer. I am so glad I took a shot on this book.
Britt is dying. She is 18 years old and cancer is taking her life. She convinces her parents to take her camping one last time. As she sits at the edge of a waterfall, she realizes that she is ready to end it all. The pain is unbearable and she wants to end it on her own terms. Sinking into the water she realizes that she is a fighter.
Waking up on the way to the hospital after drowing, Britt knows something happened. By the time she reaches the hospital it is obvious. What do you do when you gain a second chance at life? This story was difficult for me in the beginning but the story is overwhelming. CS has managed to create a whole new paranormal world for me and I love it. Allister is the main male character in this story but I have to admit that I am a Gabe fan and can't wait for more!
