Synopsis

Young Adult Mature Situations/Language From the New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Addison Moore Sixteen-year-old Laken Stewart died last summer. Her resurrection at the hands of the Countenance hasn’t run smoothly. With the memory of her past life still firmly intact, Laken moves deeper into the Countenance organization in an effort to free her mother and sister from the deadly Celestra tunnels. The love she feels for her boyfriend, Wesley, is compromised when gorgeous Cooper Flanders teams up with her in the fight to free their families. Old bonds are slowly severed as new ones are galvanized. Wesley is sure that what he and Laken share is special but when it becomes apparent that she’s reading his mind, he’s determined to get to the bottom of her true intentions. And one thing is for sure, the Celestra that’s giving her these powers is going to have to pay. Wesley’s love for Laken takes him to dark places he never believed existed, and what he discovers dismantles his world as he knows it.

About this title

From the Author:

• "A PARANORMAL ALICE IN WONDERLAND!!!"--Kindle Customer 

• "It is definitely one of the most unique book series I've read. It was definitely WORTH THE READ!!!"--T. Eckels

• "SWOON WORTHY YA AT ITS VERY BEST!!!! I WAS HOOKED!!! My ADDICTION to Addison Moore's Celestra rivals any Twilight Fanaticism!!! My love for Skyla Messenger is immediate! A lot of "new" to deal with in moving to Paragon. A merging family... and still not over the loss of her father. A new school, and the whispers..... she moved into a house with a tragic past. One that will take Skyla by surprise. She finds an instant best friend Brielle who spills about the previous owners and the demise of the former owner of her new bedroom...... just cozy. Brielle introduces Skyla to Paragon seeing some sights and hitting the bowling alley. In Arcade Heaven ....... enter Logan and Gage Oliver......"--S.V77

• "ANGSTY angels gone WILD!!! The supernatural premise that will fuel the series is introduced enough to make readers aware of what they can expect while leaving mysteries to be explored later on. There's genuine appeal and novelty to the mythos that finds ways to distinguish itself from other series in a similar vein. Already I'm fascinated to see where the story is leading and what will come of the characters in it."--C. Wells

• "WONDERFUL NEW TAKE ON ANGELS!!!  Very well written story that captured our attention very early on and kept us quickly thumbing through the pages up until the very end!"--Michelle's Paranormal Vault

• "THIS SERIES IS AMAZING!!! It is funny, sweet, unpredictable, and surprisingly philosophic. Moore has a way of writing beautiful things in a way that comes off genuine instead of cheesy. This series also has incredible characterization."-- Katie

• "FANTASTIC SERIES!!! They are GREATNESS. Addison Moore writes a fast paced story. She knows how to weave in the love and lust of teenagers and the HUMOR AND SUSPENSE TO KEEP YOU HOOKED!!!"--S. Summers 

• "THRILLING YA ADVENTURE WITH A PARANORMAL TWIST!!!"--C. Wong

• "A ROLLER COASTER of Dark ADVENTURES and Plenty of ROMANCE!!! The story and characters were amazing--what a roller coaster!. I ended up love, love, loving this series! The book is packed with non-stop dark adventures and lots of crazy romance. The series will have your mind reeling till the end. I've read through the series several times plus even went on to read "The Countenance Trilogy" that follows it. Now I can't wait for the story's continuation in "Celestra Forever After"--D. Simmons

• "AUTHOR = GENIUS!!!  The author has a WAY WITH WORDS in her novels that is unparalleled. Her descriptions, the metaphors and similes all leave you wondering not only how she comes up with these things but how in the world could you ever write like she does? I love the characters and I love that, despite the fantasy aspect of the plot, you could be them. They make mistakes, they curse, their hormones push them to do things that probably aren't wise - but they're real - they act like real teenagers. Skyla especially. And I love that about them. The plot does take a bit to really take off and yes there are TWISTS AND TURNS but I have yet to say to myself 'just end the series already' because I'm still invested! It takes quite a literary talent to make you feel like your part of the story, make you stay up until you finish the book. And Addison Moore is definitely a literary talent. I would definitely RECOMMEND this book (and series overall) if you like romance, suspense, fantasy, and overall...a good book."--J.M. BELL

• "LOVED THIS BOOK AND THE WHOLE SERIES!!! The pace is great in these books and it has so many twists and turns, ups and downs. It is next to impossible to ever find a good stopping point because something new and exciting is always happening or just around the corner. So instead of stopping you just keep reading and ignore everything else around! If you are looking for a series to get sucked into, this is the one, go out and read it today, don't wait another second!"--E. Poor

• "WELL WRITTEN AND EASY TO LOVE!!! This book was wonderful. The characters are well developed and it is clearly part of a series."--JoCo 

• "ONE OF MY FAVORITE SERIES OF ALL TIME!!! Oh. Yes. One of my favorite series of all time. I love it so so so so so much. If you love twilight, the hunger games, harry potter, then READ THIS!"--Maggolies

• "LOVED READING THIS SERIES! I absolutely loved this series!" --Book Crazy Lady

• "WOW! I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! It was an incredible read and more addictive then the twilight series was in my opinion. There's so many twists that no matter where you're at in the series you'll be entertained."--Askari 

• "GREAT SERIES! This has been one of my FAVORITE SERIES!!! The Celestra series had everything us Sci-Fi YA lovers expect!" --Amazon Customer

• "FANTASTIC READ! LURED ME IN RIGHT FROM THE START! The author does an amazing job at immersing you into this complex and fascinating world she's created. Usually I can see where a plot is leading from a mile away, but this one kept me guessing. Nothing is as it seems." --Steph M. 

• "Addison takes you on a WONDERFUL JOURNEY into the world of Skyla filled with plenty of angelic hotties coupled with typical high school drama and not so typical paranormal drama. Skyla's life is far from boring! Addison keeps you guessing up until the very last page! You won't regret it!" --M. Files
