Angelfall (Penryn & the End of Days, Book 1) By Susan Ee


*****
I had seen Angelfall a couple of times on some websites and also read reviews pertaining to it, but I had never stopped to read it. I recently read it some weeks ago and I have to say, it definitely awestruck me. I thought that because of the current popularity of post-apocalyptic books that it was also going to sound so much like the others. Instead, Ms. Ee  accomplished to take on a very interesting and different story on what would happen after an "apocalypse." I was very intrigued by both main characters, Penryn and Raffe, who seem to have so much in common despite their different "race" and constant bickering. I think that the twist of changing the angels from an angelic view to a more wrathful one was what was the most intriguing part of the book. Penryn's character was very unique because she was indeed a heroine in all aspects of the word. She is a fighter and that makes her very likable. The romance between Penryn and Raffe is kind of like a love/hate one but it is very sweet. Plus, its forbidden so that makes it even more interesting. Overall, I really loved this book and would recommend it to everyone! I can't wait until the second book comes out!
