Synopsis
In a world where angels are beyond
redemption, Alex thinks he's found one that might deserve mercy. Alex is a
ruthless assassin - of angels. Forget everything you've heard about them
before. Angels are not benign celestial creatures, but fierce stalkers whose
irresistible force allows them to feed off humans, draining them of their
vitality until there is barely anything left. As far as Alex is concerned, the
only good angel is a dead angel...until he meets Willow. She may look like a
normal teenager but Willow is no ordinary girl. Half-angel, half-human, Willow
may hold the key to defeating the evil angels. But as the hunter and the hunted
embark on an epic and dangerous journey and Willow learns the dark and
terrifying secrets of her past, Alex finds himself drawn to Willow...with
devastating consequences.

But Alex does. Gorgeous, mysterious
Alex knows Willow’s secret and is on a mission to stop her. The dark forces within
