Summary:A love beyond life...a danger beyond doubt.
In a romantic and suspenseful collection of the New York Times bestselling trilogy, love's unbreakable bonds are put to the test.When her boyfriend, Tristan, died, Ivy thought she'd lost everything, even her faith in angels. But now she's discovered that he's her guardian angel -- his presence so strong that she can feel the touch of his hand, the beat of his heart. Ivy needs Tristan now more than ever because he knows she's in terrible danger. Only Ivy's guardian angel can save her now that his killer is after her.But if Tristan rescues Ivy, his mission on earth will be finished, and he must leave her behind forever. Will saving Ivy mean losing her just when he's finally reached her again?

My Review:Whoa. There isn't much to say but that it made me cry. It's like Ghost and another movie named The Invisible put together with a more of a teen twist. But the thing that got me mad was that, unlike Ghost, Tristan didn't get to become 'whole' for Ivy one last time. That might have been too copy-catty but it needed to happen. And that might be giving away to away much..... oh well, cry if you want; I did. Also the whole, all of a sudden she could hear him, made me think the author just wanted to get this over with but that needed to happen first. I had "Arms of the Angel" by Sarah M. on repeat on my ipod and computer the whole time i read this, and that even enhanced the mood more. It was good, but I don't really recommend it for people that take 6 months to read a book like this.

Exert: "How does she look to you?' Lvy asked Tristan. He hesitated. "Yes, tell us both, how do I look to you?" Lacey asked. Tristan tried to think of an objective description. "Like...five foot something... with brown eyes, I think... and a roundish nose, and sort of thick hair."
"Good job, Tristan," Lacey remarked. "You've just described a bear." ~pg. 79 in Soulmates
