This was my second attempt at the book and I swear if it takes me more than a week to read it isn't that good... 2.5

In Engelsmorgen hat Daniel 18 Tage Zeit um mit Engeln und Dämonen, also verbündet mit Cam, ihre Feinde zu besiegen. Diese wollen verhindern, das er mit Luce glücklich sein kann.
Luce ist jetzt auf einer Privatschule für Nefilim, dort lernt sie wie man in die Vergangenheit blicken kann.

Ich finde den zweiten Teil deutlich besser als den ersten. Dieser Teil ist durchgehend spannend und die Charaktere sind wirklich gut beschrieben.
Ich finde das Ende zwar wieder ein bisschen blöd, aber trotzdem hat mich das Buch einfach überzeugt.

Daniel is so annoying

me: hi Daniel, I love you

I know, I know... I am complete trash when it comes to vampire or angel/demon books. I have no standard. Give me the insta love, the annoying love triangles, the predictable endings. I love it and I don't care what that says about me :P

Neither of our main characters are very likable in this book.

Luce is kind of annoying and dumb. She at least tries to talk to Daniel about the things happening around them, which is good, but after he explains that he can’t explain things, she should take advantage of the other angels/demons around her. She never goes to any of them for help, answers, or advice. She mostly just pouts about Daniel.

Daniel was not great in this book. I think the author really really wanted another love triangle, but unfortunately that love triangle kind of ruined our main guy. To be fair, he does explain to Luce multiple times that he can’t explain things to her. But he could’ve handled all of the situations better.

One thing that I hate is when someone cheats. It really ruins that person for me. Although I am glad that the character at least acknowledged the cheating and felt bad about it!

I liked this book. I didn't love this book. Again Kate seemed to go through the typical motions of a sequel and mixed the characters together. Luce was incredibly dumb in this one. Perhaps the peroxide damaged her brain? I don't know.

The connections that were made could have been made much earlier. The climax of the book at Thanksgiving was great however, why would any girl want to be with Mr. No Information Giving Just Protecting You. Doesn't it sound a bit too Edward Cullen for your liking? It did for me. Sigh. I want a good strong woman who can overcome her not-so-supernaturalness without turning into a bitch as Shelby was portrayed.

The ending with the Outcasts showing up, Miles using his powers, (anything Miles, really. Let's face it) and the combination of "good" and "evil" fallen on one side. I loved it. I could read about all the different types of wings and their descriptions all day but that's not what the book is about.

I'm still keen for the next one, however, I won't be counting down the days with bated breath.
