review 1: I love when I can immerse myself in a good book and relax and enjoy the journey. I haven't read a book where a character is in love at first sight in awhile so it was just what I wanted. It reminded me of another very popular book in some ways. I won't go into details and give anything away, but I don't think it's a bad thing to have a book remind me of another book. Angel Star was so easy to read quickly because I was so into the story and had to know what happened next! I actually was talking out loud while reading. "No way!" "What?!" "Awww!" Things like that. Hmmm. . . maybe that's not too unusual for me.Okay, I loved the name Teagan! I had never heard that name but felt it really suited the main character. Teagan is a bit of a loner with one close friend, Claire. She l... moreived a normal life until Garreth came along and blew her away. Garreth is so caring and such a gentleman. It's hard to fault an angel.Angel Star kept me guessing at the very end. I thought I knew exactly what was going to happen, but then the plot twisted. Teagan goes through a lot and really grows as a character. I enjoyed reading her journey and can't wait to read the next book in the series.
review 2: My thoughts:Pros- This was a fast paced book with lots of action, suspense, mystery. It was quite dark, so if you're looking for a book that's light with comedy you won't find it here. The book takes place over a period of 8 days so only the essential info is there which I like, no spots where I felt it dragged.-The main female character Teagan is definitely a pro, she's strong and soft at the same time.-The main male character, Garreth, was my favorite. He had some really good lines.-This book was well written and well paced.Cons-I was left with quite a few questions. Not of the plot, but more of what the angels in Murgia's world are and their relationship to their charges, how the good angels became bad, how her father was connected to Hadrian, and what Teagan became, why she was special etc. I would have liked a little more details on that.-Hadrian, the dark angel bad guy. He was a really good bad guy and I liked his character, but the author made Teagan have some feelings for him. This makes me wonder why can't a bad guy just be a bad guy? Why do we have to have Team Garreth and Team Hadrian, can't we just defeat evil and move on to the next step instead of going back and forth with a love triangle. I'm not really saying that this particular book had a love triangle..a little, but not really..it just feels like it might go that way in the sequel and it seems like a lot of books go that way lately and it's getting a little boring for me.I give this book 4 out of 5I would recommend this book to anyone who liked Twilight but is looking for something that is better written and has a female protagonist that you'll actually like. less
