Synopsis from Amazon: Willow knows she’s different from other girls, and not just because she loves tinkering with cars. Willow has a gift. She can look into the future and know people’s dreams and hopes, their sorrows and regrets, just by touching them. She has no idea where this power comes from. But the assassin, Alex, does. Gorgeous, mysterious Alex knows more about Willow than Willow herself. He knows that her powers link to dark and dangerous forces, and that he’s one of the few humans left who can fight them. When Alex finds himself falling in love with his sworn enemy, he discovers that nothing is as it seems, least of all good and evil. In the first book in an action-packed, romantic trilogy, L..A. Weatherly sends readers on a thrill-ride of a road trip - and depicts the human race at the brink of a future as catastrophic as it is deceptively beautiful.

They’re out for your soul . . . and they don’t have heaven in mind.

My Review: My first thoughts about this book was..."Oh no, not another typical Angel/Fallen Angel war". Well my first thoughts were completely WRONG! There is no fallen angel in Angel Burn at all. As a matter of fact the very beings that we all see as Heavenly, glorious beings are actually the enemy!

I could not put this book down! At 449 pages it would generally take me at least 5 days to read, BUT I finished it in 2 1/2! This book was truly amazing!

I love that Lee let us see the story from THREE different perspectives. I loved having Willow and Alex's point of view as well as Raziel's. (Even if Raziel's made me want to scream at my book!)

I can't wait for the second book in this series! This book was very clutching. I honestly could not put it down after I got started with it. L. A. Weatherly did an AWESOME job with this story. She kept everything easy to follow and gave just the right amount of detail.
