Angelfall by Susan Ee
5.0
OH. MY. GOD !!!!!
What did I just read?! Seriously, that wasn't what I expected. I knew it's about angels and an apocalypse. Well, I read a few angel books before so I was expecting something similar but this? Noooo, that was SOO much better!! I'm keeping this short because my mind is still blown away but let me tell you: IT WAS AMAZING!
Penryn (such a pretty name!) is an awesome character - she's clever, she thinks before she acts, she's brave but also stubborn, she's determined to find her sister again and really, really badass! It always makes me happy to read about characters that aren't completely blinded by love or stupidness and that aren't constantly in danger so someone has to rescue them - Penryn is the exact opposite of that! I loved her right from the beginning and throughout the book my love grew bigger and bigger!
Raffe is the next good thing - the fact that he and all the others aren't "normal" angels (i mean the ones we usually read about - good and nice ones that protect people or so) was so interesting and refreshing! It makes the book darker and a lot more creepier but soooo good! Raffe is mysterious, sexy and just really, really cool. A character I need to know more about ... like RIGHT NOW!
The story was fast-paced, thrilling and very well written! I couldn't and did't want to put it down - I always wanted to know what happens next ... a real page-turner! Well and the end was BOMBASTIC! Everything was detailed and very easy to picture
Spoiler
Especially the gross parts ... the scorpion angels?Ugh. And the kids? Those "demons" or whatever they are? Horrible things but damn awesome too. God, I love this kind of crazy stuff!The ending was definitely one of my favorite parts and yeeees, i even got teary eyes at some points.
Great, I should have picked up book number 2 immediately but I'll definitely read it as soon as possible! Can't wait to continue the story of Penryn and her family ... and Raffe of course!
