Narrative Toward Books Angelfire (Angelfire #1)
First there are nightmares. Every night Ellie is haunted by terrifying dreams of monstrous creatures that are hunting her, killing her. Then come the memories. When Ellie meets Will, she feels on the verge of remembering something just beyond her grasp. His attention is intense and romantic, and Ellie feels like her soul has known him for centuries. On her seventeenth birthday, on a dark street at midnight, Will awakens Ellie's power, and she knows that she can fight the creatures that stalk her in the grim darkness. Only Will holds the key to Ellie's memories, whole lifetimes of them, and when she looks at him, she can no longer pretend anything was just a dream. Now she must hunt. Ellie has power that no one can match, and her role is to hunt and kill the reapers that prey on human souls. But in order to survive the dangerous and ancient battle of the angels and the Fallen, she must also hunt for the secrets of her past lives and truths that may be too frightening to remember.Mention Books To Angelfire (Angelfire #1)

This book has it all; amazing premise, awesome cover, and a super huge marketing scheme that made this debut one of the most hyped releases of the year 2011. Sadly, it was just not for me.The biggest problem I had this book was the writing style. It felt rough, choppy, and lacked that certain fluidity to capture my attention. There isnt much of any glorious descriptive writing that I drool over, nor is there any richness. A lot of it came of as rushed and lacked any subtlety. Another thing thatStreet corner tbr May read #4 per tinaAfter completing this I have several thoughts/questions1. What is up with the Dad? Is he going to be a bad guy in the upcoming books?2. Why can Ellie not remember everything?3. Why is she becoming more and more human with each new life? Is she eventually going to be a mere-mortal?4. Why is it so wrong for Ellie and Will to just be together? 5. Why does Michael just show up once every blue moon?6. How could she not know deep down she was an archangel?7. Is

Honestly, it sounds a bit too much like Buffy for comfort, except Giles is a hot guy with a Cloud-strife-esque buster sword.Still, I'll take a look. ETA: READ IT. Okay, here's my non-spoilery review.A good effort. Which seems patronizing, but really, after struggling through the whole thing that's the only compliment I can really muster.I mean, she certainly writes action 'well' - and by 'well' I mean, you can clearly visualize what's happening, except it feels more like dancing while counting
Ive thought long and hard to determine if there was a single aspect of this book that I even liked.The characters, the story-telling, the writing, the themes was there anything? No. I tried but this book was painfully bad. I am not at all exaggerating when I report that I fell asleep twice within the first twenty pages. This book was highly reminiscent of both Buffy and Bleach. So what? Pretty much half the things published in YA these days are reminiscent of Buffy. Unfortunately, you want
First I was like, But then I was like, That's what it was like for me all throughout Angelfire. I kept expecting something awesome and unpredictable to happen, but nothing did. Even when (view spoiler)[Luke found out Darth Vader was his biological father (hide spoiler)] I wasn't surprised. (view spoiler)[Okay, Luke wasn't really in this book, and neither was Darth Vader, but still. (hide spoiler)]The point is that this book was just okay. It wasn't a joyride, but it wasn't a complete
