Throughout the novel, Compton masterfully blurs the lines between what is considered good and evil. Sarita's guardian angel, a being typically associated with protection and righteousness, commits a horrific act, shattering her perception of good. This forces her to question everything she thought she knew and ultimately face the unsettling reality that darkness can reside even in the most unexpected places.

As Sarita grapples with the aftermath of Angelo's betrayal, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery that leads her to confront her own inner darkness. To survive the onslaught of hell unleashed upon her, she must embrace aspects of herself she previously feared, challenging the reader to consider the complex nature of identity and the difficult choices we make in the face of danger.

Sarita's lifelong belief in her guardian angel is shattered, leaving her unmoored and vulnerable. Compton uses this loss of faith to explore the power dynamics between belief and reality. As Sarita navigates a world overrun by both angelic and demonic forces, the reader is left to ponder the impact of faith and the lengths to which we go to protect what we hold dear.
