Heaven and Hell aren't above or below Earth. If you want to find them, you should be looking sideways.
Teenage angel Alex Snow has a very weird life - his twin brother Gabe is a demon, he has few friends, he doesn't get out much, his tastes in pop culture are quirky at best...and one of his classmates has just been horribly murdered. Soon, more dead bodies start to pop up in town, and Alex and Gabe discover that the killer is someone to whom they are inextricably connected, despite having never met.
But beware - when you know how adorable you are, they shut you away so your infectious charm can't sweeten up the world.
This is your only line of defense when they shut you up for being cute.
And often that line of defense doesn't work, leaving you looking something like this. I do that a lot, sadly. Especially at 11-12 at night when I'm supposed to be sleeping. Which explains a lot.
Normally I'm not one for pop culture references but in this I lapped it up (probably because they were ones I actually liked) but anyway.
This captivated and intrigued me in many different ways. Not only was it a unique spin on heaven and hell, and demons and angels but it was also a very unique story in and of itself. I personally haven't read anything similar to it, and the romance in it wasn't mushy and unbearable to read either.
