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.
