My Review:
After reading Hush Hush and
Fallen I didn't think there would be any other good angel books. I was very
hesitant in picking this one up because it featured a girl as being an angel.
Yeh Yeh I know I was being sexist. But I'm truly glad I read this book. Though
I liked Hush Hush and somewhat liked Fallen, I was totally blown away by Angel
Burn. This book isn't about your typical fallen angel who falls in love and has
to save the day. What was so unusual about this book was that it takes the
whole notion of angels as kindly guardians and turns it upside down. Angles
want something from humans and they will do ANYTHING to get it. Even if
that means taking lives of innocent people. Say what now!!!!? But I thought
angels were our guardians! Weatherly was very creative in creating this unique
world of angels with Willow
being smack dab in the middle of the battle field.
Alex
and Willow are
fantastic characters who make mature decisions and do their best in the most
impossible situations. As a team they become stronger and more appealing to
each other. Throughout most of the book they are on the run and have to learn
to depend on each other. Willow
and Alex are deeply connect with each other, funny and honest even though they
both have reasons not to be. It was refreshing to read about a boy and girl who
are nice to each other even when they maybe enemies.
