And a story arc: the series would be a distorted echo of WWII.
This gave me a whole feel, an era: fedora hats and seamed stockings and big band music. He’s married to a writer.)įrom the start, I knew that my characters’ airplanes – the fictional Firedoves – would be Spitfires in disguise. Then I got very excited and interrupted whatever my husband was saying to enthuse about my new story idea the rest of the night. The narrator on the audiobook is very good and making this book and enjoyable fun listen and easily builds the tension up to an explosive ending that make you want to carry on the journey and the next instalment, Angel Fire.One night, while having dinner with my husband at our favourite Thai restaurant, this thought suddenly popped into my head: “What if there was a world where conflicts between nations were resolved by two fighter pilots going up against each other?” I think I may have gasped out loud. Alex can't fight his true feelings for long and has to decide if he is prepared to lose his love forever as Willow discovers when she saves the world from angels, she is unlikely able to save herself as well. It is sweet and endearing to see how two people who are supposed to hate each other can quickly fall in love in the typical teenage angst style.
Angel, as it is called in the UK, is the start of a trilogy that is the journey of teenagers trying to save the world whilst finding themselves along the way. Along the way Willow discovers an angel killer called Alex has been hunting angels since he was five years old and after killing his family, he hates all angels, until he comes across a half angel, half human girl who is beyond beautiful and everything he thought he knew about angels. This is the story of a girl called Willow who discovers she's a half angel and is the only one who can save the world from the soul sucking angels. This is the author's debut novel and all I can say is if she can do this good a job with her first book, then I can't wait for her second. The book is billed as a young adult novel, but adults will love it too. This book took me a little while to get into but once I did, I couldn't put it down. The interaction between the two main protagonists is brilliant and the unfolding romance is beautifully done. I thought no one could equal Jace, the hero of Mortal Instruments, but I think Alex might actually give him a run for his money. This is the most origional fantasy I've read since Mortal Instruments. Set against them our Alex, an AK (angel killer) and Willow, a half human half angel whom Alex has swarn to protect. The scary thing is it's almost believable. Angel is the story of a group of beings who visit our Earth to feed off humans and bring death and disease in their wake, while convincing their victims that they're actually divine, loving beings. Five stars doesn't seem nearly generous enough.
I only wish I could give this book a higher rating.
