review 1: Until about 2/3 through I was ready to give this book 3 out of 5 stars. There are a few typos, but nothing that detracts from the story. It does drag a bit though, in the build up to the romance. There were aspects that were sweet, but I wasn't particularly interested. It takes more than a "perfectly beautiful" male to capture my interest. If you're into angels I imagine it's quite lovely. However, the pace picks up and the plot thickens when Lucifer turns up.As this book made me laugh out loud it definitely gets 4 out of 5 stars. As a rule, anything that makes me laugh or cry automatically gets 4 stars minimum. If it makes me do both, 5 stars. I found myself looking forward to Lucifer's appearances. His arrival brings humour to the story, making it a far more compelling... more read. He's completely mischievous and devilishly irresistible. Certainly, as much as I enjoyed Elora's pragmatic, if somewhat paranoid navigation of her plight, I much preferred her impish nature around the fallen angel. More of that, please. There's some really grisly bits too, which were great. I'll definitely be up for reading more of this series.
review 2: This book pretty much grabbed me from the beginning, which is unusual for me if I'm honest. It's also one of the first books I've read in a long while where I didn't figure where it was going in the first few chapters. The book takes you on a journey with Elora as the main character, and trying to figure out who or what is attacking her after she is first attacked in school by something invisible. It's also a journey of love and torment, of adventure and mystery.I don't want to give anything away, so the only thing I can say really is... GO READ IT!.. It will grab you in the first couple of chapters.. and if you are anything like me, you wont want to put it down.. at some points I had to physically tear myself away from my kindle to do boring mundane things and couldn't wait to get back to it :)I have to say I did find a couple of spelling and grammer mistakes, but nothing my brain didn't fill in anyway, so didn't take anything away from the adventure Lily Crussell took me on. (if i had a paperback version i'd be able to say where they were, but alas i read it on my kindle, so can't remember where they are.. But..I would recommend this book 100%.. so if you don't have it.. Go get it, and start reading today.. You wont be disappointed. :) less
