The Succubus series: Angels hanging out with Demons playing cards? Really? Really, dude? Susan created a realistic world of angels while somehow managing to not sound preachy and staying true to their original mythical cannon.ħ. The Mortal Instruments: Nephilim are the good guys? You've got to be kidding me. Halo: Only eight angels fell from Heaven? Let's get real. Angel books run the risk of not being true to their mythological 'rules.' I think you know what I'm talking about here.

I'd pretty much put my head between my legs and kiss my ass goodbye.ĥ. It's shocking, horrifying, and any other adjective you can possibly use to describe the emotion you feel while reading this book. What’s your name, soldier boy?” Yeah, he's a badass 'G.' Susan, how do you come up with this stuff? I was thoroughly entertained!Ĥ. But I will paste my absolute favorite: “My friends call me Wrath,” says Raffe. There are so many quotes I could paste into my review, but I can't because I'd end up just pasting the entire book. In fact, I created a new shelf just for her: 'Ass-kickin' heroine.' Between how she sticks up for herself and her awesomely cool, Kung Fu Panda-type skills, she's a fuckin' boss. Penryn is my pick for strongest heroine of 2011. Expect little to no sleep until you've finished.Ģ. Angelfall kicks off right from the start with plenty of action and never settles down. Instead, I'm going to give you ten reasons why you should go purchase this book RIGHT NOW.ġ.

I'm not going to go in some extreme in-depth talk about how awesome this book is because there are a few other reviews that do that and I don't think I could do the book any justice even if I tried. I'm going to do this review a little differently. Are the literary gods playing a joke on me? How ironic for me to find my favorite book of 2011 in the last week of the year. I thought this genre couldn't get any better than Unearthly, Angel, or Daughter of Smoke and Bone. But there is indeed hope for this paranormal genre.

I know that might seem strange when you think of the more popular horrible ones **cough* Hush, Hush*cough* Halo*cough* Fallen*cough**. Brilliant.Ģ011 turned out to be a great year for Angel books for me. There simply were no words to describe how much I loved it, how it horrified me, shocked me, tore at my heart again and again. The above was my immediate reaction after finishing this book. This is my favorite book of 2011! This review may contain extreme amounts of gushing!

Penryn and the end of days
