Angelfire by Courtney Allison moulton

So i've been gone for a really long time..... I have Been reading a lot of books but I feel that they are not fit for a review.... ( yea total lie, I've be lazy! Can't blame me, it's summer!!!) well I posted a review of the book mentioned in the title on goodreads. Com. I felt that I had to because the people on that site did not like the book and didn't finish reading it. I wanted to give my input on it because I did not feel that it was bad at all (excuse my mistakes, I'm typing on my iPod which is not the best for typing long things......

So I would give this book a 3.5 stars out of five. Personally I did not like the ending of the book. This was mentioned on goodreads but I did not elaborate. First, the ending of the book was really bland. It did not have any sort of suspence at all, not like torment by Laurent Kate. It was just her fighting another reaper saying that she is the prelaitor. I know that there will be another book( via goodreads) and the ending gave no reference to that. I wanted an endi g that would be memorable so that I can have somewhat of an idea of what happened when I read the next book. The ending knocked off .75 stars from the book's score. The other .75 knocked off was due to the fight scenes. They seemed really repetative. It was like Ellie was doing somehing, reaper showed up, will gets hurt a little, Ellie gets hurt, Ellie unleashes her power, beast dies or runs away to fight her later. That was most of the fight scenes right here. There wasn't a lot of variation.

One thing I liked was Will. His character made things enjoyable. The forbidden romance between Will and Ellie added something to the book plot. I loved will's character and how his relationship with Ellie changed throughout the book. That was one thing I wanted to read more of. I wanted to know more about his and ellie's previous lives. It sounds sort of like the same as other books with reincarnations and I love a good angel like character. The beginning of the book was also quite enjoyable. I was a little iffy about ellie's and her father's relationship but I felt that added some background to Ellie. I was sort of expecting so an explanation to how her father changed. I expected her father to really be a reaper in disguise as her father, but that was a big no.....finding that out could have added an interesting element to the story. ( could have also made Ellie more passionate to kill reapers if one of them killed her father) maybe that will be in the next book.... Those are my thoughts on this book.

read book...... THEY'RE GOOD FOR YOU!!!!! (I hope that is right..... :p)
