You rebuke me. With my head down, prudently I nod. Not because I want to Not because I like to I just stay quite so that the discussion ends... But even like that, it keeps on going over and over giving more wood to the fire. And we embark on this once again. This is slovenly, stupid, somber. You say that I'm audacious, that I should be conscientious and all the problems would end, only if I change. It rankles me, and it all gathers in my chest profusely like a bunch of wrinkled paper each word bringing more, overflowing. If it was for me I would tell you, but you'll take it wrongly, I know, like most of what I say... You have no inkling that maybe I do care, care about our problems, That maybe I try to work them... You're quite lackadaisical. I feel that slowly this pilfers the little pieces of our relationship... Ruining it, Damaging it, affecting us. It's hard for me, It's hard for you. I want it to be serene, I want it to be better... I'm not willing to keep up with it, Are you?
Bitter, critical, not-caring. Loosing the game: kicked out. Occupied parents, brother in hollywood, and he is just there, with no one to turn to. Bird in a cage, too lazy to come out too much himself to care. All alone, it's him and his book in his own black world. Searching for a goddamn goodby, finally leaving these phonies. What will he do next? It's not worth to care.
Elizabeth Chandler does a magnificent job with its heart breaking romantic suspenseful trilogy Kissed by an Angel, consisting of The Power of Love and Soulmates as the two other books.The story is about the protagonist’s life after her dramatic death of her lovable boyfriend, Tristan, as he tries to reconnect with her as a ghost. After the car accident, Ivy thought she had lost everything even her faith in angels, they hadn’t help to save Tristan, so they were just figments of her imagination… But what she didn’t know was that maybe the incident wasn’t really an accident, and that Tristan wasn’t completely gone, he was angel! And he had the mission to find out what was going on…
Gregory –Ivy’s stepbrother—had become really close with Ivy during the rough times because he knew how she felt, he recently had lost his mom –suicide. Everything started to mix up when a person attacked Ivy for two times, she was perplexed not knowing who would’ve wanted to hurt her. She began to feel very insecure and unsafe, because of the attacks and because she didn’t have her absolute source to turn to, her angels. As time went by, thieves started to come up… There was Eric (the alcoholic and drug abuser friend of Gregory), there was Gregory as well, after she found weird papers on his room, and Will, the most confusing one. He had drawn once in the restaurants an angel with Tristan face, Ivy took it very offensive, and got mad but when she looked into her eyes, he saw a certain sparkle that reminded her of Tristan and made her kind of fall in love. Soon enough Tristan learns that the person responsible for the accident was after Ivy… Could he be able to cross the boundaries between life and death to warn his Ivy?
The plot starts off very romantic, with Ivy and Tristan. But as chapters go on suspense starts to fill in. There were many parts in which you were drawn into the story not wanting to stop, because of the third person point of view was very easy to understand the characters and get to know them. Elizabeth Chandler gives a very original theme involving angels, true love and average teenagers. This is the type of story that you always let you wondering and would get you to fall in love with the story. However, there were some parts during the middle as it got to the climax that got really slow, I read because I knew that something big was going to happen but sometimes it took too long. But still, it was worth waiting.
During the story we see the many changes in Ivy, obviously because she had been through a lot, starting with her boyfriend who she was in love with, to her attacks. While we get a peek to her life and see her relations with her friends. What completes it enough to make a interesting story plot is the struggle of her boyfriend trying to contact her as a ghost and trying to make her believe in angels again after she had lost her faith completely.
In conclusion, I think of this book being very original. I liked the way the author wrote some parts as if it had been obvious that it was going to happen, so that in the next event she came up with an action that the reader wasn’t expecting. I would recommend this book for people who are interested in love, suspense and lots of action. Get ready to fall in love!
