Review: Angel Fire

Title: Angel Fire
Series: Angel Trilogy # 2
Genre: Young Adult- Fantasy/Paranormal
Author: L.A. Weatherly
Publisher: Candlewick Press
Release Date: January 27, 2012
Book: ARC sent by publisher

"In Book Two of L. A. Weatherly’s wildly romantic, action-packed trilogy, the angels are back with a vengeance . . . and they don’t have heaven in mind.

In the wake of the Second Wave, the angel menace has exploded, and Alex and Willow are on the lam. Willow’s prophetic dream points them to Mexico City, where they connect with a fledgling group of angel killers led by the exotically beautiful Kara, an Angel Killer from Alex’s past. But the team remains suspicious of Willow, even after the more-experienced Alex takes over as leader, training them hard for a rush attack on the Seraphic Council, or “The Twelve.” This elite group of all-powerful angels is also under the scrutiny of Willow’s angel-father, Raziel, who has his own sinister plan to defeat them.

What Willow hasn’t told Alex is that there was also a mysterious boy in her dream, one she felt overpoweringly attracted to. When brooding, gorgeous Seb shows up in the flesh, he turns out to be another—possibly the world’s only other—half angel. He’s been searching for Willow all his life, and when Alex enlists this rival to help keep Willow safe, he can’t predict what chemistry will pass between them . . . or how far Willow might go to keep Alex safe. Will their love endure or spell doomsday for the human race?"

I really loved this book! There are so many changes, new characters, and new places that made me so happy and giddy while reading this book. I especially loved the emotions in the book as well as the progress of the characters. Since the first book, Alex and Willow are on the run. Things might be all as what they thought.

Without any spoilers, I want to express why I loved this book so much. First off, there are some new characters that really made the book much more edgy. Both characters create uncertainty and unstable environments. Many things from the past come up to haunt and destroy Alex and Willow, while others things come up just to complicate it more. I did enjoy what these new characters brought. As the reader, as the new characters bring more story to the story, they also open up doors to that can be bad.

The plot line of this book delve deeper into the angels. I loved that Willow is able to learn more about herself that what she thought. Though many fear rose up in Willow, she still kept herself strong and did what need to be done. All the characters in this book, including minor ones, played bigger parts. I like seeing how the minor characters decisions played a big part in the end.

All in all, Angel Fire is a great sequel. One that is fast past and very exciting. I thoroughly enjoyed this book far more than I enjoyed the first. Ms. Weatherly  gave her readers so much more to be excited about. Ms. Weatherly answered questions, raised more, but left her readers yearning for the third book! I can't wait to read it!

I give it 5 BITES!

Happy Reading!

Review: Angel Burn

Title: Angel Burn
Series: Angel Trilogy # 1
Genre: Young Adult- Supernatural
Author: L.A. Weatherly
Publisher: Candlewick Press
Release Date: May 24, 2011
Book:  Netgalley


"Willow knows she’s different from other girls, and not just because she loves tinkering with cars. Willow has a gift. She can look into the future and know people’s dreams and hopes, their sorrows and regrets, just by touching them. She has no idea where this power comes from. But the assassin, Alex, does. Gorgeous, mysterious Alex knows more about Willow than Willow herself. He knows that her powers link to dark and dangerous forces, and that he’s one of the few humans left who can fight them. When Alex finds himself falling in love with his sworn enemy, he discovers that nothing is as it seems, least of all good and evil. In the first book in an action-packed, romantic trilogy, L..A. Weatherly sends readers on a thrill-ride of a road trip — and depicts the human race at the brink of a future as catastrophic as it is deceptively beautiful."

As I read this book, I was little skeptical. Lately I have been reading lots of books about angels, demons and whatnot, that reading another angel story, well you have to really impress me in order for me to get into the book. So many books out there carry the same plots and the same types of characters. After reading a bit into the book, I was hooked. I realized that I enjoyed Willow and Alex. Both were dynamic characters and had love that I enjoyed seeing.


The plot I did enjoy reading once I got what's going on. It did take a while for the plot to take off but once it did I really love it. The were many secrets, betrayals, and lots of action going on. What really got me was how blind Willow was to all of this. Her emotions I loved reading. Ms. Weatherly did a great job writing all the thoughts and feelings out. 


The love in this story sweet. I am such a romance junkie! To see two people falling in love over a course of running away from danger, almost being killed, learning secrets, it really had my heart out there! I love watching how in the mist of things, these two people can come together and it was like no one or nothing can break what they have. They had a secret place in which they can go to within each other and be safe. Total swoon! 

Overall this book is great! I really enjoyed reading it and exploring the world that Ms. Weatherly has created. Angel Burn is the start of new series that I can get addicted to! I can't wait to see what the next book has in store!


 I give it 4 BITES!




Happy Reading!
