However, the description of the church and the weather was superb: it played with the senses and really made me feel like I was there in the storm. The dialogue between the characters felt very forced, and was unrealistic. It didn't grab me, I felt like the plot plodded rather than flowed and had to force myself to concentrate on what was happening. The idea for this book grabbed me – a re-telling of four of the Christian Saints: Saint Agnes, Saint Cecilia, Saint Lucy and Saint Sebastian. But in the fight for his heart, will they lose something more important? He brings the girls together, and gives each of them what they have been searching for. These three girls have never met each other before, and have nothing in common, until they all meet the mysterious Sebastian. Finally, Lucy - spoilt rich party girl - overdose. Cecilia - the runaway rocker - found drowned, face down in a puddle.

Agnes - the hopeless romantic - has just tried to take her own life. Three girls all find themselves in the emergency room at Perpetual Help Hospital on Halloween. A re-telling of some of Christianity's Saints and Martyrs. In walks Sebastian, and with him what each girl is missing. Summary: Three girls find themselves in hospital at the lowest moments of their lives.
