In this sequel to the bestselling fantasy thriller, Angelfall, the survivors of the angel apocalypse begin to scrape back together what's left of the modern world.
When a group of people capture Penryn's sister Paige, thinking she's a monster, the situation ends in a massacre. Paige disappears. Humans are terrified. Mom is heartbroken.
Penryn drives through the streets of San Francisco looking for Paige. Why are the streets so empty? Where is everybody? Her search leads her into the heart of the angels' secret plans where she catches a glimpse of their motivations, and learns the horrifying extent to which the angels are willing to go.
Meanwhile, Raffe hunts for his wings. Without them, he can't rejoin the angels, can't take his rightful place as one of their leaders. When faced with recapturing his wings or helping Penryn survive, which will he choose?
Goddamn, goddamn, goddamn.
I knew starting this series would be deadly. I just didn't know how deadly until I finished this one and found out that there's another one that doesn't come out til May. MAY. Someone just stab me with a fork because that'll be less painful than waiting until it comes out.
God, this book is amazing.
I just don't really have a lot to say about it except "AHHHHHHHHHH" and "READ IT". Seriously.
I just love all the characters and the complexity that each of them have. It makes the story a lot stronger, more believable and definitely more enjoyable.
I also really like how this isn't your typical dystopian/apocalyptic series. It's not like some corrupt government that rules all and only one girl can save the whole world (AKA AMERICA). It's just about a girl who wants her sister back. And who also has an extremely attractive angel man to help her.
Ugh, I swear, if I don't get some big romance scene in the next one, I'll be upset. But I'll live because that's not the whole point of it, but come on. It's been brewing for some time. Give them some happiness. PLEASE.
This book reminded me why I love reading.
