Review - Prelude by Chariss K. Walker

My Review - Prelude 

This is the second book I have read by this author and this one was very different for a younger audience.  The first book gripped me on the very first page and I loved it.  This one started off quite lovely dovey with the relationship between brother and sister. I made the mistake of thinking that I wouldn't like it - then started to read it at bed-time and stayed awake till 2 am, finishing it! 

The Good
I loved the premise of Alec. The angel and demonic side, the family history and everything that he embodied.

The Bad
Sabrina's choice of work did not gel with me at all. The fact that Alec accepted it, made me very angry.
Why could Cassidy make it and not Sabrina - in something different? I was with the best friend (Chaz) on this one and seriously frustrated by that in the book!

Danae's story and parents were slipped in the end and the death of the mother downplayed. I realize in book one you need to set the scene for the series but jumping from meeting to her death was too much for me!

The Ugly
Demon or Angel?
I loved the paranormal aspect of this book. I am still getting to grips with it as I don't usually read this genre - despite being a huge Buffy fan!
I love the idea of the gift and the granddad and wanted more and more of that. Alec - definitely not ugly. Apart from his acceptance of Sabrina - he was a hero!
