Angelfall

Extremely good, don't be put off by the title, there are no softy angels spreading fairy dust in this book! This is a hellish tale of our world devastated by an apocalypse of evil angels visiting Earth to wreak damage and death on all humans. It's an interesting twist on the popular end of the world scenario.

Penryn has been hiding out in her apartment along with her rather crazy mother and her disabled sister Paige. It has been six weeks since the Angels returned to our world to destroy our way of life. Under the cover of night, Penryn and her family escape their apartment fearing they will be next as bands of raiders reach their apartment block, evil humans set on killing and collecting food. On the road away from their home they are suddenly startled by a group of Angels attacking one of their own, how can this be? Hiding from the fight, they accidentally draw the Angels attention and Paige is abducted by the Angels and viciously flown away. Penryn is left in fear and anger, how can she battle her way through an apocalyptic wasteland that was once America to find and save her sister.

At first I was expecting the usual story, change vampires, werewolves or fairies for angels and that was it. But, the main difference is a main character has a clear voice and is head strong, she fears for her life but is in the middle of a devastated world where she has to survive and help her family. Romantic love is the last of her worries; she is loyal and cares for the “guy in question” but she never lets is blur her vision of rescuing her little Sister and getting her family back together.

An incredible novel and not what I was expecting at all, it was quite shocking in places, it rivets you to the spot and you find yourself racing through page after page desperately wanting to know what happens next.

This book has been an Internet phenomenon and has rave 5 star reviews, I now know why! You must give it a try. I can't wait for the next book and hope it is equally as good.
