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.

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.

Noteworthy Passages

Exchange between Teagan and Claire; pg. 16

Exchange between Teagan and Garreth; pg. 208

Oops, what have I done?
