Angel's Fury by Bryony Pearce
5.0
(might contain some spoilers)
When I picked this book from all the others in the store I thought I was going to read something about angels. Sure, this book has angels (one actually), but it isn't the main focus of the story and I thought it was when I first read the title.
When I started reading Angel's Fury I was instantly sucked into the story. I couldn't put the damn thing down and the plot hadn't even started to develop! Cass is a good character: I could feel her sadness and her desperate search for being 'normal'. I was so focused and intrigued I read more than half the book the day I bought it. And I finished it the day after.
It wasn't the nightmares, or the evil angel or the main plotline that intigued me the most, though. When Cass got out of the car the first time she saw the mansion and Seth was there to help her and they connected almost instantly I thought 'Oh hell, please let this not be one of those books that have the boy and the girl fall in love and make out in a heartbeat', and that was my main concern...Even though I still think their relationship progressed too quickly, it was far more interesting than many of those I read in any other book. Even though they did 'make out' (if you can really call it that), they never put a label on their relationship, they were never boyfriend and girlfriend but they were still obviously into each other... I like that.
Seth, however, is a character I thought regressed. He started out as my favourite right after Cass, because he was there for the girl when no one else was, and he borrowed the dvd's and agreed to help her and all of that. But the scene that made me start disliking him was when he blamed her for what her past life did...It broke my heart, really. And as for the way he regressed in terms of the way the author wrote, I think she payed him almost zero attention at the end of the book and I would've liked to see them get together after all that happened, or at least talk it through.
As for the main plotline, I have no complains. It has a great theme that we don't see much in YA books and I loved it. It was one of my favourite books. I highly recommend it.
