Books like Shimmer by Paula Weston
Gaby has long accepted that her life as a teenage backpacker is no longer hers to define. Now she learns that she is a half‑angel of the Rephaim, a clan of 139‑year‑old beings with memories stolen from them. Once she mourned the loss of her brother Jude for a year, she discovers that he did not die at all. With Jude still gone, Gaby faces a new crisis: the charismatic and infuriating seeker Rafa has been captured and is suffering at the hands of Gatekeeper demons. The only way to rescue Rafa is to get the bitterly divided Rephaim to work together—an impossible task in the race against time.
