We'd all like a guardian angel, but would you want to be one
Not fit to be a daughter. Not fit to be a friend. Not fit to be an angel. Two girls are inextricably linked by destiny, not choice.
Stephanie is friendless, strange, a misfit.
Freya can't stop seeing angels.
But when one of those angels begins to stalk her, its shadow following her everywhere, Freya is forced to make decisions from which there is no turning back.

What a book. I simply couldn't put it down ... a highly charged look at personal spirituality... the writing is effortless and elegant and as it slips between character perspectives, Angel never loses an air of authenticity. And at moments, it reaches the sublime. I loved it. - THE BOOKBAG
-
A fascinating read. - CAROUSEL
-
This neat combination of teen angst and behavioural ethics is complex and charged. - THE DAILY TELEGRAPH
