Have to thank Sarah, since she's the person who officially recommended this to me last November, but many other friends mentioned it as well. This is one of those rare instances when a book is loved by many for good reason.

Longer review to come ...

Só não dou 5 estrelas porque acho que teve pequenas falhas mas adorei.
Review em breve (talvez...não sei se faça só quando ler os outros 2 da trilogia).

2nd Read: 6/27/2016

I can't say that I absolutely love it the same way that I did the first time, when I was still in the first flush of dystopian / apocalyptic love, but I still enjoyed it, and am looking forward to finally finishing the series. I'll let the original rating stand.

Original Read: 12/3/2011

I don't give 5 stars very easily. If you look at the books that I've read this year, 2 out of 120 I rated 5 Stars. One of them was just last week, and so I am actually mentally struggling over gi ...more

RATING: 5/5

My very own Raffe: the too-hot-for-his-own-good: Jake Madden

Note: I bookmarked it like 20 times and now I couldn't come up with a favorite quote it is so hard to choose!

This book is a true hidden gem: I didn’t know what to expect; maybe a fluffy read, maybe a badly written self-published book that I would mildly like; but certainly not to fall crazy and madly in love as in where-were-you-my-whole-life and how-am-I-supposed-to-go-on-without-you, kind of love.

I had to lock myself in ...more

This was an interesting take on the apocalypse. I enjoyed this story quite a bit...Penryn is not your typical heroine. She is tough as nails for being only 17 years old and loyal to a fault. Her doubts about herself or questions about whether she should care about certain outcomes, makes her even stronger in my opinion. For his part, Raffe is a very detached character, but somehow shows a bit of humanity. I felt this was a strong start to this trilogy and look forward to seeing where it goes fro ...more

I have been meaning to read this book for quite a while now and I haven't been quite sure what to expect but I was hooked after the very first chapter!
The story is about Penryn, a young woman who is looking after her mother who has mental health probles and her young sister who is paralyzed in a world that has been taken over by angels. The angels have destroyed the way of life and the streets are run by viscous gangs and survival is key.
I really liked the story, the characters were intriguing ...more

Oh my freaking g'#*/!!! What a truly amazing and horrifying book! It deserves 6 stars at the least. And for starters the depth of the story and the carnage is definitely not YA. And I wish that the book never ended. And I'm so excited to share this with my fellow book readers, I couldn't form a coherent review and I just want gush over it over and over and over again.
