Synopsis
In a world where angels are beyond
redemption, Alex thinks he's found one that might deserve mercy. Alex is a
ruthless assassin - of angels. Forget everything you've heard about them
before. Angels are not benign celestial creatures, but fierce stalkers whose
irresistible force allows them to feed off humans, draining them of their
vitality until there is barely anything left. As far as Alex is concerned, the
only good angel is a dead angel...until he meets Willow. She may look like a
normal teenager but Willow is no ordinary girl. Half-angel, half-human, Willow
may hold the key to defeating the evil angels. But as the hunter and the hunted
embark on an epic and dangerous journey and Willow learns the dark and
terrifying secrets of her past, Alex finds himself drawn to Willow...with
devastating consequences.
Back cover:
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 Thoughts (review)
So, where to start. This book was...
wow! It blew my mind; I loved it, and being that I’m really not a great fan of
Angel it’s saying a lot. Or maybe I like this concept of them. Like they aren’t
evil thinking there doing the right things. They are evil, not that they see
sucking the life energy out of human’s as evil, just the way of life (for them
at least).
Anyway, this is the first, true
romance that I have read in teen romance in a long time. it’s much more based
around the two telling each other what they are thinking and then getting to
know each other, though it’s done in a way that’s... well, nice, letting you
into their heads and filling your own heart up with the emotions of the book.
Okay, so the main characters of this
book are great. There are four of them all up. Willow, the girl with a life
meant to be bigger than she could ever know, and her dealing with all that’s
dumped on her. Amazing, than Alex, the assassin, a character that becomes more
as the book goes on – he’s not one to have everything lying open. Then there’s
Raziel, the angel that began the church, the one that wants nothing to have it
ruined, even if.... yeah, you will have to read the book to find out more about
him. He’s got to many spoilers attached to him. Then his assistant. They are
all great stories, and though it’s book on them travelling, it’s never really
filled with it, like some travelling stories, it ends up being too much, this
book... well it was prefect in all its aspects.
I loved it, though it wasn’t as good – in my option – as let’s say...
Divergent. It was a great and should be read by all. Something just the same
and so different. It’s great!
