A jumble of paranormal elements bogs down this otherwise interesting love story, which shares a milieu with 2007's Betrayed
. Overwhelmed by the impending death of her mother, Beth Ann Raines returns home to care for her 10 nieces and nephews, abandoned by her errant siblings. The last thing she wants is for her handsome high school crush, Alex Foster, to come barreling back into her life, even though she's dreamed of him for years. When Alex reveals his own dream of Beth in danger, they begin to explore their mental powers and are thrown into a world of angels, demons and an ancient evil force trying to destroy them. Chaos reigns supreme, with characters barely introduced and relationship development drowned out by supernatural events, and even readers familiar with Betrayed
will struggle to make sense of it all. (Dec.)
