Publisher Description
From USA Today and NYT bestselling author Aaron Patterson!
"Move over Twilight! Here comes Aaron Patterson!"
--Joshua Graham, bestselling author of Beyond Justice and Darkroom
"I was surprised by how much I really, really liked this book. I have not jumped on the whole "fallen angel" bandwagon, just as I didn't jump on all of the vampire stories that came out after Twilight. This is not your typical fallen angel story. It is one that has left me breathlessly waiting for the next one in the series. Hurry up please!!!"
--Sandra Stiles

BOOK DESCRIPTION:
AIREL is a young adult paranormal story about an angel who falls so eeply in love with a woman that he chooses to fall from heaven to be with her. She gives birth to a daughter in Arabia, 1250BC. The girl is pursued ferociously, relentlessly by an enemy in the deepest darkness.
In present day, Boise, Idaho is just a girl: Airel. She's just your average high school student...who turns out to be anything but average. It's because of who she is, because of her ancestry, because of her
lineage. Past and present crash in on each other in the final pages as what has been twisted comes dangerously unraveled.

REVIEWS:
"It takes rare talent for a man to write a novel from a male POV and have it published to great critical and commercial acclaim. But it takes a miracle for that same male, or in this case males, to write a novel from the POV of a teenage girl and have it turn out as incredibly as did the new StoneHouse YA by Aaron Patterson and Chris White, AIREL. From the first sentence, I felt compelled to dive into this young woman's story and just as importantly, I felt like I personally knew her, which means I laughed, stressed and cried right along with her. A beautifully written and crafted fiction about teenage innocence, faith, loss and love. A must read for teens and adults alike."
--Vincent Zandri, International Bestselling Author of The Remains, The Innocent, and Concrete Pearl
"I am happy to say that this novel is one of my favorites of its kind. I never thought I could read a novel like this and be so swept away! I am always willing to try new books, but I usually steer clear of this kind of novel. Not anymore! Not when I can be so engrossed into the character's story, like I was with the beautiful AIREL, that before I know, it's over. I kept turning the pages , wanting to, no-NEEDING, to know what was going to happen next."
--Molly Edwards, Willow Spring, NC

I love this book, I just grow frustrated about how it changes times so often. Aron & Chris have wonderful writing though, even if I’m super tempted to skip all the past times to the present times, then read the past times. Other than that, I’d say this is one of the better books I’m reading. I read a lot, bookworms still exist!
(this isn’t my book, I’m kinda borrowing it from someone else, & therefore this review is attached to their name.)
Super bored
Probably won't finish... I hate the "fluff" and it's pretty basic so far. She meets the guy she "loves" in the first few pages and of course describes his sparkly blue eyes the majority of the pages I've read so far. Blah.
Disappointed
Terrible ending. Wasn't a good overall book. Could improve tremendously. I would give no stars but this is the lowest.
