AngelFall by Susan Ee

Hey there, readers. Sorry I haven't updated this in a while. School started, and my AP class had homework right from the get-go. This is the first free time I've had in a while. Now, you want to know what I did?

I purchased and read a book of course! Today's book is AngelFall by Susan Ee. I wouldn't have found it had I not snooped onto Amazon today. After reading the description and the ratings, I decided to give it a try. And try I did!

AngelFall is officially my favorite book of the month. Okay, I guess that's not such a great achievement since it's only September 2, but it's still my favorite book of the last couple of weeks. I was really excited to give this book a try, and while it was a little of a let down, it was still a great read and worth the $2.99(That's two dollars, ninety nine cents.) I spent.

First off, I love the whole plot and ideas for the story. The main character's name, Penryn, is interesting enough. I mean, where did that come from? This is a one of a kind name, at least thus far. Never before have I heard the name Penryn. Now, before you start wondering why my review has headed towards a girl's name, remember that I'm in high school and will get easily distracted and amused by such things.

Okay, moving on. Back to the plot and story. It's revolving around an apocalypse. But not of the zombie or meteroid strike sort. This is an apocalypse caused by angels. But not your sweet, halo-headed angels; these angels are warriors. Not Christmas decorations. Now, in all good apocalypse books there have got to be fight scenes. Usually they're with zombies, but.. These ones were pretty good too. The angels kidnapped Penryn's little sister, Paige. Did you see that? My name's in the book! Yaya! Paige is a seven-year old cripple. She's wheel-chair bound and during one of those fight scenes Penryn watched her get taken from her fingertips. Now, can you guess where this is going? I sure hope so. Penryn is extremely loyal and stubborn. She recruits kidnaps, holds against his will an angel who was near death. Together they go on a rampage and kill every angel they find! Well, sorry. That's not what happened! But they do go on a journey to find her little sister. There are many twists that I sure didn't expect, and I'm sure you won't too.

Now, do you want to read this book? It was very captivating and catches you right from the beginning. The plot is well-developed, keeping that little hidden point in the very beginning that only the best authors can do, and the dialogue wasn't forced. That's one of the best parts. With some authors they try too hard, and the dialogue seems like they had to push it out of themselves rather than letting it flow naturally. I like that.

I look forward to the remainder of the Penryn & The End of Days, which has yet to be announced. But I'll be sure to blog about when future releases are! Until then, keep checking my To-Read List, because all of my favorite authors' future books are sure to be on there!

See you next time! Happy Reading!
