A Shimmer of Angels (Angel Sight #1)  by Lisa M. Basso Paperback, 321 pages Published January 29th 2013 by Month9Books, LLC Sixteen-year-old Rayna sees angels, and has the medication and weekly therapy sessions to prove it.

Like when she’s reassuring her friends she wants nothing to do with former best friend Ben Moorland, who’s returned from god-knows-where, and fails. Miserably. Instead of maintaining her coveted popularity status, Quincy’s goes down like the Titanic. Maybe ... just maybe ... that’s okay. It seems, perhaps, becoming a grim reaper isn’t just about the dead but more about a much needed shift in Quincy’s prio
