My Wings were ripped from their roots by unforgiving hands. I was left to bleed to death among the living I had sworn to protect so many eons ago.

Former guardian Penael Kelly is now a fallen angel who is about to be given an opportunity to earn back his wings. He must befriend and protect Jade Bellows.

Jade has lived with horrible nightmares about a night so long ago when she was witness to a most horrible event. An event that she can't remember but she still has the nightmares regardless.

Ja My Wings were ripped from their roots by unforgiving hands. I was left to bleed to death among the living I had sworn to protect so many eons ago.

Former guardian Penael Kelly is now a fallen angel who is about to be given an opportunity to earn back his wings. He must befriend and protect Jade Bellows.

Jade has lived with horrible nightmares about a night so long ago when she was witness to a most horrible event. An event that she can't remember but she still has the nightmares regardless.

Jade is drawn to Pen from the moment her starts at her school. And at first it annoys her. She doesn't fantasize about guys, but when it comes to Pen she can't help it. Pen is worried that his feelings for Jade will get in the way of his ability to protect her, but once Jade learns the truth about that long ago event, will Pen's love be enough? And will he be able to protect her when the past rears it's head?

Flightless was a really quick read, broken down into three parts and told from both Pen and Jades point of view. Full of action and excitement, with a good dose of romance thrown in and you have one really awesome read!!

One of the things that I love witnessing when I read a book is the growth of the characters and Flightless did not disappoint in that regards. Jade especially went from being quite a closed off, snarky and distant person to one who was able to allow herself to experience the closeness of relationships.

I loved the way that Jade reacted and handled things once she found out what was going on. Quite often we see our protagonist accept the existence of the supernatural way too easily. Jade wasn't like that. Despite her feelings towards Pen she handled things the exact way you would expect her to under the circumstances.

These feelings terrified me. Never had I felt this close to a charge. It was as if she was living inside of me, pulling at my organs, begging me to save her from drowning in the darkness.

I adored Pen's caring and protective nature. My heart ached for the burden that he carried on his shoulders for past events and I especially loved his relationship with Agnes. And he feels so deeply, which was what I loved about him the most.

The writing of Keri Neal flowed really smoothly, was really easy to read and incredibly engaging. I'm looking forward to reading whatever she writes next!!

Won this as a first read and devoured it. I've always been fascinated with guardian angels and this book really captivates angel lovers. It was great to see the story from not only Jade's point of view but also Pen's and know how in tune he is with his charge. (view spoiler). Other than that it was perfect and I hope to read more about Jade and Pen in the future! ...more

I received this from Goodreads last week and I finally found time to read and review. This book won't even disappoint you.
Penael "Pen" Kelly is a fallen Angel. He used to be a Guardian Angel but one terrible night he falls, losing his wings on the way to Earth. When an opportunity comes that allows him to possibly get them back, Pen tries and goes for it. The only catch protecting Jade. Jade Bellows is not your average teen, she has nightmares of something she doesn't even remember and people c ...more

I loved it. Something that I like about Keri's writing is that she gets right to the point. She's not overly wordy and I appreciate that. Her books aren't too long but just long enough to get the story told. Her characters are relate-able and interesting, and it's hard not to fall in love with them.
