I have to say I really didn't know what to expect when I started reading this book. I was drawn in from the onset by the intrigue and mystery of the mansion, the characters that Grace met at the start and by the sudden love triangle she found herself in. I'm a huge fan of supernatural stories and I particularly loved the way that the author described the physical change that the Angels would go through when taking on their "True" form. "Illuminating Gracie" packs in everything you could want fro

Wasn't sure what to expect when I began to read "Illuminating Gracie". What a Treat! It's a YA book that should be read by any one young or old (like me ;-)) You'll find humor, self-doubt, mystery, and plenty of angel against demon action. Gracie is a very believable teenager that many if not all can identify with. Time after time something she either said, thought or did triggered a memory that had me nodding and saying to myself "that is so totally me when I was a teen". It has a wonderful mes

“Illuminating Gracie,” is a spiritual story of redemption and unconditional love, and a cautionary tale of the fight between good and evil forces in our lives.

I finished this book a few days ago, but life got in the way before I could review.
I just need to say that this book is so wonderfully written. The descriptions are beautiful and the characters are so well developed and they feel real. The ending was perfect for the story, and the mystery was really intriguing.
I recommend this to any lover of paranormal fiction novels. Five stars to the author for a great, entertaining read. Terrific.

This is a fantastic read. I couldn't put it down. Intelligent, funny and heartrending, all at the same time. The main character, Gracie Bennett, is so believable because she is "every girl". Her honesty and humor make the book something very special. Dialogue is sharp and fresh, and the author does a wonderful job in drawing each character and scene. This would make a great book club book and I intend on asking my daughter's English dept. (my daughter is 17), to put it on the reading list at the
