Seventeen-year-old Grace Ann Miller is no ordinary runaway...
After having been missing for weeks, Grace is found on the estate of international rock star Gavin Vault, half-dressed and yelling for help. Over the course of twenty-four hours Grace holds an entire police force captive with incredulous tales of angels, demons, and war; intent on saving Gavin from lockup and her family from worry over her safety.
Authorities believe that Grace is ill, suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, the victim of assault and a severely fractured mind. Undeterred, Grace reveals the secret existence of dark angels on earth, an ancient prophecy and a wretched curse steeped in Biblical myth. Grace’s claims set into motion an ages-old war, resulting in blood, death and the loss of everything that matters. But are these the delusions of an immensely sick girl, or could Grace’s story actually be true?
Praefatio is Grace’s account of weeks on the run, falling in love and losing everything but her faith. When it’s sister against brother, light versus darkness, corrupt police officers, eager doctors and accusing journalists, against one girl with nothing but her word as proof: who do you believe?
I received a digital copy of this book via Chapter by Chapter in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. Thanks for the copy! All are my own opinion and is not compensated by any individual, organization, or company. This might contain minor spoilers.
What I really liked about this book is the cover. The cover is really pretty and makes anyone who’d see it, want to read it. I mean, the cover is what captivated me first before I gone to read the synopsis.
The book started in what seems to me like an interrogation room, wherein Grace is contained. Grace appeared to be out of her mind, like her memories were playing tricks on her. Then, she began to narrate everything that had happened.
The idea of it is very promising. I fancy the concept of the angels having the Praefatio, like it is their book of life. How apart from Archangels and Fallen Angels, there are also vampires, eyeball demons and cute cherubims.
What bothers me in reading though, is the patchy grow up of twists and events. They are ‘meh’ and messy and it makes the story confusing. I hated it when I do not understand the story. I have to go back and read again the previous paragraphs or chapters to follow the story. While the premise and the setting are splendid and clever, I do not see any developments from the characters. The more I read them, the more I feel I do not know them and the more I feel completely off from the story.
The last parts of the book though is really good; despite all the confusing experiences I had while reading it, I could not say that I was not looking forward to read the next book. That last scene? That’s not enough ending for me.
I must say I will not be stopping anyone who wants to grab and read it. Go on, read it!
