My Thoughts:

Most of the time I read a book and then once I’m finished I immediately begin to loose pieces of it. I guess you could say I’m the love ‘em and leave ‘em type of person when it comes to books. That sounds bad but it’s true, I enjoy books while I’m reading them but most of the time I easily move on after.

Once in a while a book or series will worm its way in further and that’s what happened with both Angelfall and World After. I want this series to be a neverending story because I simply cannot get enough of Penryn, Raffe, DeeDum, Paige, and even Penryn’s mom. Much to his dismay I’m sure, I have even started calling my dog Pookey Bear which is a name that comes up in World After.

World After does NOT, I repeat does NOT suffer the dreaded second book syndrome. I can see myself pimping this series for a very long time.

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5

Traveling through a dark and twisted Northern California, they have only each other to rely on for survival. Together, they journey toward the angels’ stronghold in San Francisco where she’ll risk everything to rescue her sister and he’ll put himself at the mercy of his greatest enemies for the chance to be made whole again.

My Thoughts:

I hear a lot of people say that some books are addicting and difficult to put down. I have even said that on occasion and was tempted to say it about this book as well. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that Angelfall was addicting but it was more than that. It ignited a sort of desperation in me. I was desperate to keep reading and to know what happened next.

Angelfall is a dark and twisted story that unfolds at a steady pace. It doesn’t give you any chance to be distracted by…well anything. It’s also a highly chew worthy book…as in you very well  may be forced to chew someone’s head off if they try get between you and this book. And to even further demonstrate how much I L O V E D this book, know that I was pimping it out to some friends when I was less than 40 pages into it.

Shout out and a big thank you to Tabitha @ My Shelf Confessions for peer pressuring me into reading this ;)
