Half-human, half-angel, Meridian Sozu has a dark responsibility.
Sixteen-year-old Meridian has been surrounded by death ever since she can remember. As a child, insects, mice, and salamanders would burrow into her bedclothes and die. At her elementary school, she was blamed for a classmate’s tragic accident. And on her sixteenth birthday, a car crashes in front of her family home—and Meridian’s body explodes in pain.
Before she can fully recover, Meridian is told that she’s a danger to her family and hustled off to her great-aunt’s house in Revelation, Colorado. It’s there that she learns that she is a Fenestra—the half-angel, half-human link between the living and the dead. But Meridian and her sworn protector and love, Tens, face great danger from the Aternocti, a band of dark forces who capture vulnerable souls on the brink of death and cause chaos.

What is it like to be surrounded by death? Teenager Meridian Sozu has always been a little bit different. Throughout her life, it seems that death always follows her. One day after a terrible tragedy, her parents inform her that she is a Fenestra, which is a half-angel, half-human. Meridian learns that she is the window between life and death. After she turns sixteen, Meridian is sent to live with her great-aunt who teaches her what her new life will be like. While there, she meets Tens, who is a rough but attractive boy who turns out to be her protector. Together they must try to conquer the Aternocti, a group of dark forces who capture souls near death. Teens will love this paranormal romance. The author keeps the reader interested with a little love, lots of adventure, and plenty of fun. Kizer does a nice job of developing the characters and explaining the complicated powers of the Fenestra. The story is fast paced, resulting in a quick read that teen girls will devour. Readers who enjoyed Patterson's Maximum Ride series will enjoy this one as well. Reviewer: Robyn Guedel
