Agent: Scott Miller, Trident Media Group. While Shirvington's world-building reflects the conventions of the genre, the book's strength is in its persuasive evocation of Violet's emotional turmoil as she copes with human adolescence in the midst of her discovery that she has a fate beyond even Lincoln's power to explain. Yet, feeling betrayed by Lincoln's concealment of their true identities, Violet turns to a second love interest%E2%80%94Phoenix, who represents the darker side of the angelic continuum%E2%80%94and further complicates her understanding of herself and her destiny.
Violet discovers that Lincoln is a Grigori and that she is one, too. Seventeen-year-old Violet Eden’s mother died in childbirth, leaving her to be raised by her detached, workaholic father. Published in Australia in 2010, Shirvington’s debut is smart, edgy and addictiveand sure to leave readers clamoring for the rest of the series. Violet Eden is turning 17 and wrestling with an infatuation with her personal trainer, Lincoln, who's in his 20s and perfect. Get ready, American paranormal-romance fans. In this case, those protectors are the Grigori, mortals infused with angelic essence, who come into their powers on their 17th birthdays. It has been two years since Violet Eden walked away from the city, her friends, her future and - most. It's a solid entry in a well-established paranormal niche: the angels who live among us aren't nice, and it takes a small cadre of gutsy humans to maintain order. Book four of this series is about to be published in Australia, so Shirvington is hardly a newcomer despite this being her first U.S.
