In the town of Eden in northwestern England stands the exclusive boarding school known as Archangel Academy. Ancient and imposing, it's a place filled with secrets. Just like its students . . .
For Michael Howard, being plucked from his Nebraska hometown and sent thousands of miles away is as close as he's ever come to a miracle. In Weeping Water, he felt trapped, alone. At Archangel Academy, Michael belongs. And in Ciaran, Penry, and especially Ciaran's enigmatic half-brother Ronan, Michael finds friendship deeper than he's ever known.
But Michael's only beginning to understand what makes the Academy so special. Ronan is a vampire—part of a hybrid clan who are outcasts even among other vampires. Within the Academy's confines exists a ruthless world of deadly rivalries and shifting alliances, of clandestine love and forbidden temptations. And soon Michael will confront the destiny that brought him here—and a danger more powerful than he can imagine . . .
Interesting yet lacking in some areas
I heard about this book on various forums, calling it a 'LGBT Twilight' in a way. While the story has its ups and downs it has one major problem. The story changes point of views fairly often. Sometimes multiple times in the same paragraph. It can be confusing because it doesn't tell you when it has changed point of views. Overall its a good and worthwhile read, just be on the lookout for the point of view changes.
