3.5 stars, rounded up because I'm feeling generous (and apolgetic, I made some snarky remarks about this whilst reading).

This is not a book I would have picked to read, under normal circumstances. But I was doing a reading challenge, and the book had to feature an angel. This was one of the first ones that came up, and actually, I'm glad I read it.

To be fair, I didn't like the first 30% of the book. I do have to admit, I was in a foul mood, and so made a lot of snarky updates. Around the 40% mark, I started laughing. And around 65-70% I felt like I just HAD to know how the story continued.

Originally, I wanted to describe this as Twilight with a touch of Final Destination, but it's really more like True Blood, especially with all the vampires, werewolves and shifters fallen angels fawning over the main character. Anyways, it was actualy a fun and gripping story, once I got into it. And the other 2 parts of the trilogy are going onto my tbr. (I do currently have a paranormal romance overdose, I read to many stories in this genre lately, and it's actually one of my least favourite genres. That being said, me giving this 3.5 stars is really something). ( )

Meh?

2.5
So I’m going to start off with I live in the south, my family is all from the south (Tennessee, Georgia, Louisiana, the Carolinas) and it was kind of over the top. Don’t get me wrong we’ll ‘y’all’ it up till the cows come home, but ‘deader than an opossum on a road at midnight’ that stuff was just over the top.

I also was a little off out with the whole ‘we’re not racist like the media says we are’ bit. Again from all over the south.. there’s a lot of freaking racism. So it felt like a disservice to fight still happening to belittle it that way. And the whole stereotypical bits about ‘take my earrings off’ just made her friend seem like a caricature instead of a ‘real’ person.

Now the actual plot and storyline. Jesus Christ does this girl exude love out her pores or something? Every character was falling for her, it got old fairly quickly. And it was all so fluffy, nothing seemed dire or serious, just ‘I just met you, and this is crazy, let’s get married and have my baby’ 🙄. I also had an issue with her friend telling her she couldn’t do this or do that and she had to stay a virgin... women’s rights happened a while ago love, worry about yourself. Again I’m from a deeply southern and religious family but my friends don’t get to judge my actions and tell me what I can and can’t do (that’s what family’s for 😉)

So I think I’m going to let this series and I go our separate ways, I honestly have no interest in reading it any further ( )

Actually worthy of all the hate that Twilight received. ( )
