Diabolical. Cynthia Leitich Smith (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
Had to redo this rating—gave it a 2. It was pretty weak (and kinda cheesy) especially the depiction of a 'heaven-waiting hotel' with monitor-coms *gag*. And smith was so heavy with the details! So annoying! "The bathroom had black & white tiles, a towel bar, 2 towels, toilet paper, a tp holder, stand up shower"— and she just went on! But maybe I'm just being touchy—I don't particularly like Miranda and Zach. I love anything with Quince in it , which is why I liked bk 1 and 3 better. Oh well! When "slipped" angel Zachary and his werewolf pal, Kieren, arrive under suspicious circumstances to a mysterious New England boarding school, they quickly find themselves in a hellish lockdown with an intriguing assortment of secretive, hand-picked students. Plagued by demon dogs, hallucinatory wall décor, a sadistic instructor, and a legendary fire-breathing monster, will they somehow manage to escape? Or will the devil have his due? Best-selling author Cynthia Leitich Smith unites heroes from the previous three novels in the Tantalize Series - including Zachary's girl, Miranda, and Kieren's love, Quincie - along with a fascinating cast of all-new characters for a suspenseful, action-packed clash between the forces of heaven and hell.

It was nice to see things from Kieren's point of view.
