Lux Collins finds herself on the move again. Her family is moving from Seattle to San Francisco. Even though it is because of her that they have to move, she is still not very happy about it. What teenager wants to move during the school year, but then again, Lux is anything but your typical teenager. Since Lux was 2 years old, she has been able to see both angels and demons. You see, Lux is a demon hunter and has been charged with that task since she was very young. Her dad and mom both got great new jobs, but the real reason they moved was because of the call Lux has. Lothario, her current guardian informs her that there is much work to be done in San Franciso, but what that involves, Lux has yet to find out. As they are driving into their new neighborhood, her dad slows down to show them his boss's mansion. Lux immediately locks eyes with the boy in the driveway, feeling a connection to him. It turns out that this young man is Braxton Kingsley, who also happens to be the one who shows her around when she starts school at a prestigious private academy. Lux notices that the students at the academy are some of the most beautiful creatures she has ever seen. In fact, at lunch that day, Brax introduces her to Shayne and Moore Hatchett, who are two of the most beautiful beings she has ever seen. Lux feels unnaturally compelled to Moore, who causes her to practically loose all her inhibition, as she is extremely attracted to him. Then again, she is also very attracted to Brax, and the feeling is mutual, something that does not go unnoticed my Moore's sister Shayne. On top of that she meets Asher, and feels an undeniable chemistry with him also. She soon finds out that these three play a much bigger role in her life and in her calling as a demon hunter, and none of them are what they seem.

I typically have not read a great deal of angel books, though I have found myself enjoying them more lately, and was intrigued when I read the synopsis of this book. The main character is Lux, who is a teenage demon hunter. The secondary characters are Brax, Moore, Asher, and Shayne, also play large rolls in the book. Brax is a hottie and immediately has a thing for Lux, and these two wind up spending a lot of time together and it seems as if they are a couple. He is also the first person who finds out more about what Lux is, and in fact, finds himself a bigger part of the equation. Asher is your hot bad boy type who quickly becomes friends with Lux, though he and Lux also have a undeniably electric chemistry between them. Moore is the third hottie in the book, and is a rich playboy type who oozes with sex appeal and he knows it. Shayne is Moore's sister and is really evil, though she tries to cover it up. Lux finds herself attracted to all three of these guys, even though Moore happens to be the one who has the strongest hold on her. While the romance is hot, I did not like the fact that Lux so easily bounced from guy to guy, making out with all of them, yet didn't really seem to feel that she was doing anything wrong, which left me rather disappointed in her because of this. Asher's role becomes clear towards the end of the book, and both he and Brax rise to the occasion when they are all forced into battle. Unfortunately, Shayne's manipulative and evil ways result in a murder, false accusation and imprisonment of one character, and the mysterious disappearance of yet another. I am curious to see where Gow takes the story next. ( )
