Das Buch

Clara geht nach Stanford. Zunächst unentschlossen, was sie studieren soll, entscheidet sie sich nach einem Zwischenfall, bei dem sie ihren Engelsglanz benutzt hat, Medizin zu studieren. Neben ihren scheiternden Versuchen über Tucker hinwegzukommen und sich vielleicht einer Beziehung mit Christian zu öffnen, versucht Clara Angela bei ihrer Aufgabe zu helfen. Gleichzeitig hat sie aber mit ihrer eigenen, neuen Vision zu kämpfen, die ihr zunehmend Angst bereitet. Ob Christians Anwesenheit in der Vision ein Trost ist, oder nicht, steht in Frage.

The Book

Gaby Winters is still emotionally recovering from an accident in which she lost her twin brother Jude a year ago. Adding to her grief, she has violent dreams of fighting demons and hellions next to a gorgeous young man, whom she names Matt. Matt, it turns out, is a real person named Rafa, and he has a very different version of her pre-accident life than she remembers.
