This or That List for Claire
Claire is more or less a balance of each one of these extremes, which is why we love her.
Outgoing or Loner She’s somewhat of a loner, as she has only two close friends; but over the course, she gains confidence and becomes more outgoing.

Lover or Fighter Claire is both. She’s sensitive and affectionate, but she’ll stand up for herself and for anyone who matters to her.
Cautious or Adventurous Like any good protagonist, she is more cautious in the beginning and becomes more adventurous as she embraces the challenges in front of her.

Life Full of Excitement or Life Full of Routine Come on! Every great story begins with a character whose life is dull and routine, and escalates to a life full of excitement!

Dark and Mysterious or Funny and Outgoing Why isn’t there an option for funny and mysterious?
Quiet or Outspoken Outspoken, just like her authors.

Optimist or Pessimist Realist.

Realist or Dreamer See above. (Although there’s no rule that says pragmatists can’t also be dreamers—and she is both!)

Luck or Fate Bad luck. She’s trying to change her fate.

She should not exist.

He should not love her.

Claire Brennan has been attending Emerson Academy for two years now (the longest she and her mom have remained anywhere) and she’s desperate to stay put for the rest of high school. So there’s no way she’s going to tell her mom about the psychic visions she’s been having or the creepy warnings that she’s in danger.

Alec MacKenzie is fed up with his duties to watch and, when necessary, eliminate the descendants of his angelic forefathers. He chose Emerson as the ideal hiding place where he could be normal for once. He hadn’t factored Claire into his plans..

Their love is forbidden, going against everything Alec has been taught to believe. But when the reason behind Claire’s unusual powers is revealed and the threat to her life becomes clear, how far will Alec go to protect her?
