Wonderfully written and edited!
An intense, dark, apocalyptic tale filled with fantastic characters and more than enough creepy and scary to give you nightmares.
This book takes angels to a whole new level. Gone are the fluffy angles that serve as guardians and protectors, in are the beautifully scary, wrath of God angels bent on destroying mankind.
Susan Ee did a phenomenal job at building the apocalyptical world in which Penryn lives and does all that she can to care for and protect her sister and mother. Even if that means making a deal with Raffe, one of the deadliest of warrior angels, who was sent to destroy the world.
This book takes us on Penryn's quest to save her kidnapped sister. The journey is fraught with danger and peril, but with Penryn's background (which we seamlessly learn about along the way) and Raffe's help, the impossible doesn't seem so impossible.
As you read more of the book and get deeper into the world, the creep and scary factor grow exponentially . Bring on the nephilim and low demons and cannibals and science experiments gone so horribly wrong.
What helps this book from becoming too dark is the back and forth between Penryn and Raffe, which is so darn good, hilarious and laugh out loud at times. The chemistry between these two characters is palpable.
There are so many twists and turns in this book that you never see what's coming next. It keeps you excited to read.
The ending was so unexpected. I had so many WTF moments and literally had to take a few breaks and deep breaths before I could continue. The last few chapters of the book were some of the best in the book.
I will leave you with my favorite quote in the book, don't worry it won't spoil anything, and tell you to GO READ THIS BOOK NOW.
"I never thought about it before, but I'm proud to be human. We're ever so flawed. We're frail, confused violent, and we struggle with so many issues. But all in all, I'm proud to be a Daughter of Man.
