Why was there no end ??? What happened? Did she live? Did her mate die ?

I will preface this review with the fact I have never read the books and therefore do not know if it was a good adaptation or not. However, from a movie perspective it was sloppy and confusing. The ending came out of no where and I have no clue why she picked the other guy over Cam. The very fact I have had to refer to him as "the other guy" just shows how unmemorable and lacking he is as a character considering he is supposedly the male lead and main love interest. There lacked any real chemistry between them and in general Cam just seemed a more interesting character. They made a big deal out of the fact she wasn't baptised and then kind of threw in the explanation "oh you'll die for good this time cause you aren't baptised" in at the end as if it meant nothing. Really they needed to have a slower reveal rather than explaining the entire backstory in the last 5 minutes. Also, none of the characters but Penn seemed fleshed out. I didn't feel sad when Penn's friend died because I really had no clue who he was, I couldn't even feel sad when Penn died because it was so sudden and was followed with the promise that the angels would "take care of her" - Also what does that mean? Are they going to bring her back? I still don't even really know what happened in this movie, and feel I need to read the books just to understand. I assume that they were planning a lot more backstory to go into a sequel but the quality of this movie makes me doubt that will happen. This film felt more like a lead up to a sequel when they should have focused on having a good movie with a strong plot and memorable characters.

Acting was really bad, typical high school drama level, and in some cases such as school personnel you would think they had never been in a school. Teen level plot of eye candy lovers with Bible history 101 as their backgrounds as they seem to be immersed in the story of the fallen angels doomed to stay on Earth as a result of the conflict between God and Lucifer (i.e. Satan). The building for these trouble teens seemed like a prop for a Victorian horror set. The CGI was cheap and the dialogue high school level. Scenes were dumbed down, e.g. the students sneaking out for an all night kegger in which kegs appear out of nowhere in this isolated setting.

For a book adaptation it was not bad. Many reviews I believe were too harsh. It was certainly a better film than the first Twilight. It was different than the book in some ways, but the casting was spot on in my opinion. I watched it expecting to hate it, but have watched it six times. I love it more each time. It's not going to win any academy awards, but it was very entertaining and romantic in a beautiful way. It was well done. The soundtrack was great. Don't watch with high expectations. Just watch it with new eyes and enjoy.
