YARephaim series.
Amnesiac half-angel Gaby searches for her brother Jude in this second series installment (Shadows). The angst-ridden romance between Gaby and former-comrade-turned-foe Rafael spins its wheels, hinting endlessly at an unremembered past but never getting anywhere. Still, heavenly politics and thematic explorations of penance, responsibility, and heritage are intelligently crafted, and intense action sequences keep the pages turning.
