Dark Angel is a young adult Paranormal Romance/Urban Fantasy novel by L. J. Smith. It's the fourth book in the Night World series and was published in December 1996. It was later reissued in the omnibus Night World 2, along with The Chosen and Soulmate.Gillian Lennox wants nothing more than to be part of the popular crowd at school and to get the attention of David Blackburn, the popular boy she's had a crush on for years. Unfortunately, her dream seems impossible to achieve when she's treated like she's invisible both at school and at home. Then everything changes one dark, snowy evening, when Gillian has a near-death experience and meets Angel, a mysterious entity only she can see who claims to be her guardian angel. He vows to help her get everything she's ever wanted and more.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Gillian is initially thrilled to finally have someone who understands her completely and helps her transform from a shy outcast to one of the coolest, most desirable girls in school. Not all the students are impressed by Gillian's meteoric rise to popularity, but Gillian soon realizes she has bigger problems than high school grudges. Angel claims to have to her best interests at heart, but Gillian becomes increasingly unsettled by some of the things he asks of her. She finds herself starting to question who Angel really is and what he truly wants from her. But is it already too late to turn back from the dark path he's set her down?Not to be confused with the TV series or the band.

Bittersweet Ending: With Gillian's encouragement, Angel is convinced to reveal where Paula Belizer's body is buried. David and Gillian find her body and tell the police, allowing her to be properly laid to rest. Paula's father says he forgives whoever did this to Paula and Gillian forgives Angel too; this finally allows him to move on to the afterlife as David and Gillian look on. Gillian no longer pursues popularity for the sake of it and is more confident and comfortable with herself. Gillian's father returns to town and it's hinted that he and Gillian's mother may reconcile, or they'll at least have a more amiable separation. Although not explicitly stated, it's also implied Gillian will explain to her mother that they're both witches and Gwen isn't actually crazy, which will probably help Gwen get sober and have a better relationship with her family.
