Archon By Sabrina Benulis

The official summary from the book

“There are some things worse than death….

For years, Angela Mathers has been plagued by visions of a supernatural being – an angel with beguiling eyes and magnificent wings who haunts her thoughts and seduces her dreams.  Newly freed from a mental institution where she had been locked away for two years, Angela hopes that attending Westwood Academy, the Vatican’s exclusive university, will bring her peace and a semblance of normality.

But Angela isn’t normal.  With her stain of dark red hair and alabaster skin, she is a blood head – a freak, a monster, and the possible fulfillment of a terrifying prophecy.  Blessed with strange, mystical powers, blood heads hold a special place in the Academy.  Among them, one special blood head is more powerful than them all: the Archon, the human reincarnation of the dead angel Raziel.  And when the Archon arises as foretold, it will rule the supernatural universe.

Barely in control of her own life, Angela has no ambition to conquer an entire universe, not when she’s suddenly contending with a dangerous enemy who is determined to destroy her and a magnetic novitiate who wants to save her.  But the choice might not be her own…

Torn between mortal love and angelic obsession, the young blood head must soon face the truth about herself and her world.  It is she who holds the key to Heaven and Hell – and both will stop at nothing to possess her.”

In the beginning of this book we first meet Angela Mathers.  Angela has always been different, not only because of her hair and skin color, but because for as long as she can remember she has dreamed of angels.  They have been her salvation in a home with less than ideal parents.  All Angela ever wanted was to join the angels that she dreamed about.  She wanted to join the angels so badly that she went to drastic measures in her attempt to join them…..

Unfortunately for her they never work.

Angela attends the Westwood Academy in hopes of finding a way to find and/or contact the angels that she has been dreaming about for her whole life.  Little does she know how her life is about to change forever…..

This story is very interesting.  I’m not going to lie you really don’t know what is happening for a good portion of the book…..which is not necessarily an bad thing when the writing is good.  I found that, in this book, the writing was good….good enough that I finished the book.  One thing I can say about this book is that the author definitely keeps you guessing.  You are never quite sure who or what the other characters in the book are.  Just when you think you are starting to figure everything out the author throws a twist in there.  Overall the book was good and I am interested in seeing what the next book has in store, but I’m not sure when I will get around to the next book, if ever.  It was good but it didn’t spark that desire to go out and immediately get the next book.  

Now it’s your turn…read the book and let me know what you think.

Come live a thousand lives with me!!!
