Synopsis

Desperate to stay put in L.A. long enough to finish high school at the elite Emerson Academy, Claire Brennan hides the psychic visions she s been having from her paranoid, overprotective mother, even the ones warning her she s in danger. Fed up with his duties to watch and, when necessary, eliminate the superhuman descendants of his angelic forefathers, Alec MacKenzie abandons his post in the hopes of experiencing a normal life at Emerson. But he didn t count on falling in love with Claire, a half angel, whose very existence is forbidden. Cowritten by the bestselling author of The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen and her video-game developer/director son, Forbidden is a lighthearted romance with a unique angel mythology, compelling dual narration, page-turning action, and cinematic writing. Fans of the House of Night, Strange Angels, and Iron King series will fall in love with this engaging, fast-paced novel.
