I've been holding off on posting the review for Angelfire for about a week. Not because I didn't have time. Not because I hated it, quite the opposite really! I held off, mainly, because I really want to be coherent and not squee through the entire thing.
Let me start by saying that I've been waiting for this book to come out for awhile. I'm not quite sure when or how I heard about it, but the premise is just so intriguing! And quite refreshing after so many vamps and ghouls, unicorns and Fae! That being said, it took me until the teacher dying to really get into it. After that, I devoured it!
* The thing I really, REALLY love about Courtney Allison Moulton is that she is amazing at writing action scenes! I could picture exactly what was happening. The pacing felt natural.
*I loveloveLOVE the relationship that is Ellie/Will! It's not overly simpering and it feels real. Ms. Moulton has a great feel for the teenage voice!
*A white Audi named Marshmallow? Uh...yes, please!!
*I really wish the mini-storyline with Ellie's dad could have been more fleshed out. It felt like he popped in, got angry and yelled, then left. There was a brief sentence or two about when he started, but that's about it. My theory is that he's been kidnapped/killed and replaced with a vir (a powerful shape-shifting demon). At close to 500 pages, I can see why some things might have to have been cut. I hope we get more elaboration in the next book.
Other than that, I have nothing bad to say about this book. In fact, after I finished it, I couldn't pick up another book for a couple of days! All in all, I will recommend this book to everyone I know! I have a feeling it will be on bestselling list soon!
