Summary/ product description: “As half-angel Willow
strives to save the world from her parasitic otherworldly kin, romance and
tension heat up to a climactic finale.
In the
devastated remains of the world, millions of people live in "refugee"
camps provided by the angels who have all but enslaved humanity. As this
angelic stranglehold tightens, Willow and Alex are recruiting and training new
Angel Killers while struggling to hold ground on the celestial battlefield. But
Willow continues to have feelings for Seb, and her love and resolve are tested
as a shattering revelation sends Alex on a separate journey. Now that the final
battle versus the angels is about to begin-and the fate of the world hangs in
the balance-each of them must face the consequences of their own choices. Will
love endure? Will the human race survive?”
My Review: Why
did I wait over a year to read this? I put it off because I was afraid of how
it would end. I loved the first two books despite their lengths. These books
take a while to read, but I love the characters and the story. I just feel sad
that it’s over.
It’s kind of sad that this series wasn’t more popular.
It’s the craziest mix of sci-fi and paranormal ever. These angels are nothing
like the angels you know other than having halos and wings. They feed on
people. They’re inter-dimensional beings and their world’s ether is dying. Willow
and Seb are the only half-angels alive and this gives them special abilities.
They’re helping to train Angel Killers in aura work in the Nevada compound.
Willow has Alex as her boyfriend, but Seb still pines after her. He tries to
date a girl named Meghan.
Just when they think that they have a chance at defeating
the angels, something happens to destroy their plans and they start feeling
hopeless. They still train and kill angels because every dead angel could mean
the life of a human is saved. Alex discovered another way to destroy the angels
and sets out to find it. Something happens that breaks Willows heart.
Angel Fever was a very emotionally stunning read. I
almost found myself crying in some parts. I just love the relationship between
Willow and Alex. Seb is also a great guy, but he wasn’t there from the start.
Alex is practically my dream guy and I felt like I was there, right along side
Willow, feeling her pain and love for Alex.
There’s just some much action, adventure and romance
packed into this book. It’s thick (but less thick than Angel Fire) with
content. It didn’t drag on because it was boring, but because I just wanted to
savor the story and not miss anything. I hate when I feel like I have to skim,
but I didn’t do that here.
This is definitely in my top five angel series. It’s
the most unique one. It reads like an alien-apocalypse story. I have a hard
time finding the right comparison, but if you like Angelfall by Susan Ee or the
series on SyFy called Dominion, then you should check out this series.
Cover Art Review: Consistent with previous covers.
Love the fiery hair image.
