When seventeen-year-old Ellie starts seeing reapers - monstrous creatures who devour humans and send their souls to Hell - she finds herself on the front lines of a supernatural war between archangels and the Fallen and faced with the possible destruction of her soul.
A mysterious boy named Will reveals she is the reincarnation of an ancient warrior, the only one capable of wielding swords of angelfire to fight the reapers, and he is an immortal sworn to protect her in battle. Now that Ellie's powers have been awakened, a powerful reaper called Bastian has come forward to challenge her. He has employed a fierce assassin to eliminate her - an assassin who has already killed her once.
While balancing her dwindling social life and reaper-hunting duties, she and Will discover Bastian is searching for a dormant creature believed to be a true soul reaper. Bastian plans to use this weapon to ignite the End of Days and to destroy Ellie's soul, ending her rebirth cycle forever. Now, she must face an army of Bastian's most frightening reapers, prevent the soul reaper from consuming her soul, and uncover the secrets of her past lives - including truths that may be too frightening to remember.
My Review
I had
heard so much about this! And mostly good! I could not wait to get my hands on
it. For a debut I loved it! Courtney Moulton can write some epic fighting
scene!
I liked
Ellie! I thought she was a kick butt heroine. She has swords that light on
fire, and she kills reapers! How awesome is that?! I felt like I could relate
to Ellie. I remember her mentioning DVD's of Sailor Moon and I thought 'Hey! I
loved that show!' Ellie was a believable teenage girl. Will oh *SWOON*! Will
was the hot guardian that had me laughing so many times throughout the book. I
loved Will (Well of course I did!). He was so sweet, but confusing all at the
same time. I liked Caden too (I'm sorry I can't help it XD) Do I smell a love
triangle coming?
What
about the cover? Uhmm hello its gorgeous! I love how bad Ellie looks. :P That's
just how I pictured her! I hope they put Will on the next cover!
Courtney
Moulton has some pretty awesome writing skills! In some of the battle scene it
felt like you were right there. Yes I know that sounds cheesy, but for-real!
This book was very very enjoyable! I can not wait till the second book comes
out; I'm going to go mark my calender! AHH If you want some hot guys and a kick
butt girl read Angelfire!

I loved Angelfire too! I agree with everything you said, especially about Will making you laugh. He was soooo adorable! Great review, and glad you liked it. I'm recommending this book to everyone!
ReplyDeleteI quite enjoyed Angelfire. I loved the battle scenes, although I thought the dialogue was really cheesy. The action was good though. Even though the book sometimes annoyed me, Moulton's writing was so enticing that I couldn't put it down.
ReplyDeleteI really loved this book, but I was confused at the ending-will there be a second novel? She is a very strong character, but I didn't liked how she would make split decisions and not seem to thing very much...GFC Krystal Larson
ReplyDeleteOh good, a writer who can describe action scenes well! (:
ReplyDeleteThose are the best ones of all. I sort of thought the review lacked something...but maybe it was just that the Clarity review was too good...HM, who knows. I still like your review writing. Anyways, this book sounds intriguing, and I like strong heriones. I'll check it out! Again, thank you for doing such a good job at this!
I want to read this NOW! Your review made me want to go out and buy it right now! Great review.
