All Airel wanted was to be normal...

She seems like an average 17-year-old in the anonymous little city of Boise, Idaho: Airel. But those untroubled days are soon to end, and the change she undergoes will be so radical she will wonder if it wasn't all an illusion to begin with. Pursued ferociously, relentlessly by an ancient enemy in the deepest darkness, now she will have to learn how to fight for her life. And all because of who she is, because of her lineage. Because of this she will never have what she wants most: she will never be normal.

"Move over Twilight! Here comes Aaron Patterson!"
--Joshua Graham, bestselling author of Beyond Justice and Darkroom

"I was surprised by how much I really, really liked this book. I have not jumped on the whole "fallen angel" bandwagon, just as I didn't jump on all of the vampire stories that came out after Twilight. This is not your typical fallen angel story. It is one that has left me breathlessly waiting for the next one in the series. Hurry up please!!!"
--Sandra Stiles

REVIEWS:
"It takes rare talent for a man to write a novel from a male POV and have it published to great critical and commercial acclaim. But it takes a miracle for that same male, or in this case males, to write a novel from the POV of a teenage girl and have it turn out as incredibly as did the new StoneHouse YA by Aaron Patterson and Chris White, AIREL. From the first sentence, I felt compelled to dive into this young woman's story and just as importantly, I felt like I personally knew her, which means I laughed, stressed and cried right along with her. A beautifully written and crafted fiction about teenage innocence, faith, loss and love. A must read for teens and adults alike."
--Vincent Zandri, International Bestselling Author of The Remains, The Innocent, and Concrete Pearl

"I am happy to say that this novel is one of my favorites of its kind. I never thought I could read a novel like this and be so swept away! I am always willing to try new books, but I usually steer clear of this kind of novel. Not anymore! Not when I can be so engrossed into the character's story, like I was with the beautiful AIREL, that before I know, it's over. I kept turning the pages , wanting to, no-NEEDING, to know what was going to happen next."
--Molly Edwards, Willow Spring, NC

Ratings and reviews

I liked it. Slow start to the book... Had me confused at what was going on sometimes and there were times I had to reread certain sections especially when chapters jumped from future to past and visa versa. Compared to everything else I've read so far not as fast paced but that was a good thing. Will definitely read the next book though definitely want to know what happens next

The jumping between two times at length caused me to skim the pages rather than become involved in the words. I understand the importance to the story but, made it harder to focus with what felt like a rough transition between the two times. Expected the next chapter to return to previous timeline. Still enjoyed the story just might need to re-read to enjoy the details.

This series got me from the very start. I loved the writing, the plot, story line, everything about this series is awesome! Except for the ending, I know not everything had to be happy endings, life doesn't work that way, but the ending just falls apart literally about 5 pages from the end of the book. There is very little explanation about what is happening, at the very apex of the novel. The book took me up a mountain with lots of peaks, going ever higher, only to find...nothing.
