The cover for LEVEL 2 iss great, the color and its futuristic aspects. Although, the kick-ass heroine on it does not really depict the heroine in the book ( maybe in the sequels).

Felicia Ward is dead and she's trapped in a stark white afterlife called Level 2. Felicia, along with her fellow drones stays in chambers/pods reliving memories, like youtube. Aside from watching their memories, they could also lend this to others thereby earning credits, they then use this credits to buy new memories. But when a girl died in another chamber, things started to get messy, and the boy who broke her heart showed up- claiming to rescue her --to offer her a way out of Level 2 by going against the Morati- the guardians of the Level 2. This might be the only way Felicia could reunite with her lost love- Neil. But this isn't just about her love life- before she knows it-she's in, in an ancient struggle of good and evil and the greater question of what salvation is.

The author's writing style is great. The idea, although not entirely original is very unique, I never thought life after death could be this technical. Religion fused with technology is somewhat weird, but awesome whatsoever. The story was well-thought-of, the world-building is complex and intriguing plus Lenore's take on angels, is a fresh one, depicting Morati as somewhat evil and rebelling against God.

Although, the first pages of the book, contains nothing but lots of information about Level 2 and the afterlife. I guess that's okay, but the fact that nothing really monumental happened in these pages may bored some readers and definitely will confused most. Sifting through memories, mourning about people you left behind, the life gone—is not my idea of exciting. Judging on these, I didn't find the plot or the purpose of the book, but moving 50-75% of the book, the pacing increase, and that's where most of the action lies.

As for the heroine, Felicia is someone who has flaws, stubborn and frustrating although, I feel her loneliness and her longing to her past life. She's also whiny and full of sarcasm and wallows about the boy she loves but can't have anymore. But that's all there is, she prettily live a mundane life, and if the story does not focus on her, I might not believe that she's the heroine. And yes, she's not a kick-ass character in this book. But then I'd like to think, that she's still learning and after she learns, she'll become the girl on the cover but we could only wish until then.

There's also a love triangle which I believe isn't over the top.

If you don't mind the hints of religion (Christianity) and flashbacks composing most of the book, then you might consider reading this book.

LEVEL 2 is thought-provoking, giving us a different take on afterlife and angels, it's a good first book for a series, but it has a clean ending. However, I would still like to read the next book in the series and see Felicia's character grow into the ass-kicking girl in the cover and premise.
