ANGEL Book Review

Yeah, guys.

It's time for another review!
Which is a book review!

And I need to go quickly too! lol x)

Okays, let's go on with this xD

Intro:
This book was given to me last Christmas. By sis.
Sorry, forgot to mention that she gave me this book in the Prezzie post ;3
 
"The Only Good Angel Is A Dead Angel"

Sypnosis:

Willow knows she's different from other girls.
And not just because she loves tinkering around with cars. Willow has a gift. She can look into people's futures, know their dreams, their hopes and their regrets, just by touching them. She has no idea where she gets this power from...

But Alex does. Gorgeous, mysterious Alex knows Willow's secret and is on a mission to stop her. The dark forces within Willow make her dangerous - and irresistible.
In spite of himself, Alex finds he is falling in love with his sworn enemy.


My review?

IT WAS 
AWEEEEESSSSOMMMMMMEEEE!!!

*clears throat*
Ahem, excuse me for that xD

Truth to be told, it was kinda boring in the first few pages of Chapter 2, when I was first introduced to Willow. But after that, it was smooth sailing.
[Not to say I skipped the Prologue, okay, lol]

hm... there's no 18+ rating stuff though, and it's okay for those 12+ to read.
You know what it means if it's safe for my sis, ;)

It is L. A. Weatherly's first book, I think.
It has 507 pages, and it comes in a nice cover. lol


SPOILER ALERT!

So, this book is about... angels.
Who come to Earth because their world is dying.
And apparantly, they come to earth to feed of humans.

Nothing good comes out of it, though.
The humans who are fed upon becomes sicker, and more mentally afflicted.
Their "aura" becomes grey-er, more and more dull.

Yet, they think that the angels were good to them.
As if it was the best experience they ever had.

Alex is an angel killer.
[I actually wonder how he can kill angels with physical bullets when they are actually spiritual beings... Well, it's fiction after all]
17-years-old, and is a mean machine, controlling charkras to see angels.
His hatred for angels run deep...
as it was because of the angels that his whole family died.

Willow is a gentle girl.
Half angel, half human, she seems to have it in her to destroy the angels.
She's 17, too. lol.
She's also pyshic, thanks to her half-angel.

Plot goes like this:
Willow reads a friend, Beth, who had been fed on by an angel, Paschar.
Then Paschar finds out about Willow through Beth, and is afraid. Paschar warns Raziel, head angel of Church of Angels [yeah I know, weird name].

Raziel then dispatches Alex to kill Willow.

Alex tries to kill Willow, but can't.
As she is half-angel, half-human.
Then he refuses to kill Willow...
and suspects that his "boss" is an angel.

Then Willow goes to the Church of Angels,
almost got caught by the angry mob,
runs away with Alex...
ends up falling in love...

then tries to kill all other angels during the coming of the Second Wave of Angels,
but mysteriously fails, almost dying.
Alex arrives in the nick of time to rescue her...


Honestly, I kinda love this book.
It's not 18+ rated, which is awesome, or else I have to skip pages =.=;

It kept me entertained, and wondering: what will happen next?
There are some heart-stopping moments, actually.

Heck, this book reminds me of Numbers
without the dying stuff and apocalypse stuff...
and with a slightly mild cursing too.

If only Alex wouldn't swear against the Lord, that'll be great.

Another one complaint, though.
After you finish reading this, you won't be able to look at angels the same way again...
maybe for a day or two.
 [In a negative way, I mean]

Don't try this book for any sort of spiritual stuff; it's a ♥ novel. lol
[erm... hate-turns-to-love sort of thing? yeah.]


***
-Spoiler Ends-

Pros:
Good book,
Great plot.
Nice idea... involving angels, lol
Captivating read. [For a day... at my speed]
Lots of suspense.
Suitable for 12+

Cons:
Some parts were overly described [cause I noticed it? lol]
Has mild cursing, [using the Lord's name]
Too little action scenes [I want MORE!!]
Is a trilogy D:

Okay, so now I'll need to watch out for the next book, Angel Fire...
somewhere this June.

The third book would be out in 2012.
Why do I have a feeling that the books have already been written? -.-;

Ratings?

★★★★★
