If you have a sweet-tooth when it comes
to devouring books you will love L.A. Weatherly’s Angel!
L.A. grabs readers in an enticing page-turner worthy of
bestseller-dom leaving you wanting more.
The Cover: I am usually a girl who
severely dislikes the colours of sky blue, green and orange together
but this cover is definitely interesting. The font is beautiful and
timelessly elegant and the model’s partly shadowed face indicates
there is more to the story than a pretty face. The quote “The only
good angel is a dead angel” is a great hook and admittedly helped
convince me to buy the book. When I first looked at the cover it
intrigued me and I put it down but couldn’t stop thinking about it
during the week. Eventually I went back to the store and bought it
when I had the money and couldn’t stop reading it. I spent the
duration from 3pm that afternoon until 4am the following morning
reading L.A.’s fascinating tale.
Stars: 3/5
The Characters: Thoroughly developed
these characters have soul and I felt there was more to Willow’s
mother than she’s given credit. There is very little that can be
faulted on this front with a witty heroine, her handsome love
interest and angels more terrifying than one can imagine.
Stars: 5/5
The Plot: The plot overall was
fantastic but got a little lacklustre in a few small places leading
up to the climax. L.A. presents the novel with a great beginning and
I particularly loved the slow rate at which Willow and Alex trusted
each other. The necklace… well that was just a stroke of genius
tying the two characters together. A refreshing novel, the plot
combines sweet-tooth romance with great levels of nail-biting action
and a conclusion leaving readers waiting for more.
Stars: 4/5
Overall Comments: This is sincerely a
novel for YA romance fanatics mostly but really applies to a wide
range of audiences. Beware though if you don’t have a sweet-tooth
as you will be bombarded with lovey-dovey moments between the main
characters. The only improvement I could point out was the very small
lacklustre moments – every writer gets them at some point – but
definitely a novel worth checking out. I am sincerely looking forward
to the reading Angel Fire and furthermore Angel Fever
coming this year.
Overall Stars: 4/5
