This story is about a girl named Gemma and her friends who live in two worlds. One of the worlds is called “The Order” and the other is the real world. There are a lot of other realms, but the Order is where her mother used to hang out. She loved it there. In this book they talk about her mother, but she died in the first book.

When she gets back her dad is ill from drug abuse, her brother is in love with one of her friends, and a guy named Simon is trying to win her heart. If you want to find out what happens next in her crazy life then you should read this book.

I liked Rebel Angels because it has a lot of action and a lot of emotions, like it was sad, mysterious, and exciting. It is a long book, but it is a really good book.
