Angelfire

That’s the point of believing in something. There’s so much doubt and tribulation during your journey that you’ve got to hang on to something, or else you’ll fall.
Courtney Allison Moulton
The main character, Ellie, thinks that she is a normal teenager. Then she sees the "mysterious boy" (Will) that she feels like she has known forever. In this book, Ellie learns who she really is and how to deal with the powers that she possess. It is not an easy process. She rejects what Will tells her until memories start returning to her. Together, they then must fight the epic battle between good and evil while Ellie tries to maintain some sense of normalcy and discern what type of relationship she has with Will.

Life is going to test you in ways it never has before. Don't let your future change the good person that you are or make forget who you are.

It is captivating and Courtney Allison Moulton really draws you in with the the way she tells the story. It has the right amount of drama, action, humor and romance. I laughed so many times while reading. It is a book that will keep you intrigued while keeping things realistic and believable.

Goodreads synopsis:

This debut, the first novel in a trilogy, is achingly romantic, terrifying, and filled with blistering action.

When seventeen-year-old Ellie starts seeing reapers - monstrous creatures who devour humans and send their souls to Hell - she finds herself on the front lines of a supernatural war between archangels and the Fallen and faced with the possible destruction of her soul.

A mysterious boy named Will reveals she is the reincarnation of an ancient warrior, the only one capable of wielding swords of angelfire to fight the reapers, and he is an immortal sworn to protect her in battle. Now that Ellie's powers have been awakened, a powerful reaper called Bastian has come forward to challenge her. He has employed a fierce assassin to eliminate her - an assassin who has already killed her once.

While balancing her dwindling social life and reaper-hunting duties, she and Will discover Bastian is searching for a dormant creature believed to be a true soul reaper. Bastian plans to use this weapon to ignite the End of Days and to destroy Ellie's soul, ending her rebirth cycle forever. Now, she must face an army of Bastian's most frightening reapers, prevent the soul reaper from consuming her soul, and uncover the secrets of her past lives - including truths that may be too frightening to remember.
I scowled and stabbed begrudginly at the stack before scooping up a bite with my fork, but it toppled over and plopped into my lap. I groaned and banged my head on the counter.
Mom frowned, 'You have to be smarter than the pancakes, Ellie.'
