Waiting on Wednesday 11/14/12 A Shimmer of Angels

A Shimmer of Angels by Lisa M. Basso
Publication Date: January 29th 2013
Goodreads
Sixteen-year-old Rayna sees angels, and has the medication and weekly therapy sessions to prove it. Now, in remission, Rayna starts fresh at a new school, lands a new job, and desperately tries for normalcy. She ignores signs that she may be slipping into the world she has tried so hard to climb out of. But these days, it’s more than just hallucinations that keep Rayna up at night. Students are dying, and she may be the only one who can stop it. Can she keep her job, her sanity, and her friends from dying at the hands of angels she can't admit to seeing?

Psychiatry, fantasy and real life come together in A Shimmer of Angels, as a young girl struggles with identity, secrets, and confronting her greatest fears. A Shimmer of Angels is for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider, or perhaps has felt like giving up entirely. It touches on themes of suicide, ostracism and emotional pain. The author, personally exposed to suicide through the death of a beloved family member, will donate a percentage of sales of this novel to a suicide prevention and outreach program in San Francisco, California.
 I found this book on a goodreads listopia and I think it sounds kin of interesting! Not to mention the cover is all pretty rainbow!

  4. I haven't heard of this. I'm curious about seeing angels as opposed to actually being one. A slight variation from angel books.
