The Fallen: The Fallen and Leviathan by Thomas F. Sniegoski

Sexy cover, eh? These two-in-one books were originally published back in 2003, but with the popularity of fallen angels lately, I imagine this YA book will sell well.

Aaron starts to have scary things happen to him when he turns 18. He can understand his dog perfectly, as well as the cute Brazilian girl at school when she speaks Portuguese. Strange homeless men in the park talk to him about nephilim and Aaron is forced to confide in his former psychologist. But then people close to him end up dead and other fallen angels are hunting him. Aaron might be the one to fulfill the prophecy--he could save the souls of all fallen angels and return them to heaven. Whoa--that's deep, right?

In The Fallen, Aaron plays dumb to the angel thing a little too long and in Leviathan, the fight scenes take forever. But, all in all, the action is fast, the teenager (slash angel) saves the day and the story continues in The Fallen 2.
