Angel Star by Jennifer Murgia
**2010 Debut Author Challenge List** Reading level: YA Paperback: 256 pages Publisher: Lands Atlantic Publishing LLC (May 18, 2010) Summary: Seventeen-year-old Teagan McNeel falls for captivating Garreth Adams and soon discovers that her crush has an eight-point star etched into the palm of his right hand-the mark of an angel. But where there is light, dark follows, and she and Garreth suddenly find themselves vulnerable to a dark angel's malicious plan that could threaten not only her life, but the lives of everyone she knows. Divinely woven together, Angel Star takes readers on a reflective journey when one angel's sacrifice collides with another angel's vicious ambition in a way that is sure to have readers searching for their own willpower. My review: Angels are now up there on the top of the paranormal/fantasy shelf, right alongside vampires, werewolves and fairies. And why not? Reading too much of one type can become boring or predictable. Murgia's take
