What is the setting of Dark Flame by Alyson Noel?

The novel is set in Laguna Beach, California. Although this is a West Coast, beach-type setting, the characters in the novel spend little time on the beach. In fact, most of the novel takes place inside Roman or Damen's house. The novel also uses the setting of Summerland quite often in this book. Summerland is a magical place where the soul goes immediately after death. Immortals and the living can also occasionally go to Summerland.
