Publisher Description
The girl knows she's different. She doesn't age. She has no family. She has visions of a past life, but no clear clues as to what she is, or where she comes from. But there is a face in her dreams – a light that breaks through the darkness. She knows his name is Gabriel.
On her way home from work, the girl encounters an injured stranger whose name is Jonah. Soon, she will understand that Jonah belongs to a generation of Vampires that serve darker forces. Jonah and the few like him are fighting with help from an unlikely ally, a rogue Angel named Gabriel.
In the crossfire between good and evil, love and hate, and life and death, the girl learns her name: Lailah. But when the lines between black and white begin to blur, where in the spectrum will she find her place? And with whom?
Gabriel and Jonah both want to protect her. But Lailah will have to fight her own battle to find out who she truly is.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Originally published serially on Wattpad, Kelly's debut pits vampires against angels in a cross-dimensional battle for human souls. It's a cold winter's night when Cessie rescues an injured vampire named Jonah on her way home from work. Cessie knows how dangerous vampires can be, but she's protected by her body's ability to heal itself from even fatal injuries, reviving each time with no memory of her previous life. Fleeing Jonah's powerful pursuers brings Cessie to Gabriel, an archangel who has been helping vampires like Jonah break free from their creators; in Gabriel, Cessie recognizes a face that has been haunting her. Unfortunately, little worldbuilding is realized in this first installment in the Skyclar Saga; most of the present-day events revolve around Cessie's romantic entanglements, while the supernatural plot gets shoehorned into expository chunks. As a protagonist, Cessie tends to be reactive, and she has a habit of running out of the room whenever she's faced with emotional conflict. There's plenty of backstory to intrigue readers, and romance fans will enjoy Cessie's complicated dynamic with her suitors, but the book's pacing problems prevent it from fully living up to its potential. Ages 12 up.

See AllGreat read.
This book began my love for this series. Fantastic writing, great plot line, and plenty of unexpected twists. I know the author, and she's absolutely wonderful. Can't wait to read Jonah and see where she goes with her writing from there!

Aghhhh! This book was by far one of my favorites!!! My emotions were all over the place, there were times when I swooned over Gabriel and times when I just want to punch him! And Lailah smh idk what I would have done if I were in her shoes. But hey! that's what good books are meant to do right? Bring out all these emotions in people.
I highly recommend this book! It even has a freaking cool cover!
Hope u read it!
Totally looking forward to the next book!
Vampire angel love?!?
I loved this book. I had picked it up at Barnes and Nobles a bit skeptic about reading something that seems just like every other book I read. But once I got into it I thoroughly enjoyed it. And the characters in this book are nothing short of exciting...well most of them anyway. I promise you won't regret buying this book!!! I just hope the second one comes out soon I can't wait to see what happens!!! And if you ant to know why I'm so edge-of-my-seat anticipating the next book that's because...........haha tricked you. I'm not telling!!! If you want to know read the book!!! And I know you'll enjoy it to!!!
