Mara Dyer doesn't think life can get any stranger. She wakes from a coma
in hospital with no memory of how she got there or of the bizarre
accident that caused the deaths of her best friends and her boyfriend,
yet left her mysteriously unharmed. The doctors suggest that starting
over in a new city, a new school, would be good for her and just to let
the memories gradually come back on their own. But Mara's new start is
anything but comforting. She sees the faces of her dead friends
everywhere, and when she suddenly begins to see other people's deaths
right before they happen, Mara wonders whether she's going crazy! And if
dealing with all this wasn't enough, Noah Shaw, the most beautiful boy
she has ever seen can't seem to leave her alone… but as her life
unravels around her, Mara can't help but wonder if Noah has another
agenda altogether…

It's been six weeks
since angels of the apocalypse descended to demolish the modern world.
Street gangs rule the day while fear and superstition rule the night.
When warrior angels fly away with a helpless little girl, her
seventeen-year-old sister Penryn will do anything to get her back.
Anything, including making a deal with an enemy angel.
Raffe is a warrior who lies broken and wingless on the street. After eons of fighting his own battles, he finds himself being rescued from a desperate situation by a half-starved teenage girl.
Traveling through a dark and twisted Northern California, they have only each other to rely on for survival. Together, they journey toward the angels' stronghold in San Francisco where she'll risk everything to rescue her sister and he'll put himself at the mercy of his greatest enemies for the chance to be made whole again.

There he lay looking as if youth had been half-renewed, for the white
hair and moustache were changed to dark iron-grey, the cheeks were
fuller, and the white skin seemed ruby-red underneath; the mouth was
redder than ever, for on the lips were gouts of fresh blood, which
trickled from the corners of the mouth and ran over the chin and neck.
Even the deep, burning eyes seemed set amongst the swollen flesh, for
the lids and pouches underneath were bloated. It seemed as if the whole
awful creature were simply gorged with blood; he lay like a filthy
leech, exhausted with his repletion.' Thus Bram Stoker, one of the
greatest exponents of the supernatural narrative, describes the demonic
subject of his chilling masterpiece Dracula, a truly iconic and
unsettling tale of vampirism.
