Susan Ee
It's been six weeks since angels of the apocalypse descended to demolish the modern world. Street gangs rule the day while fear and superstition rule the night. When warrior angels fly away with a helpless little girl, her seventeen-year-old sister Penryn will do anything to get her back.Anything, including making a deal with an enemy angel.Raffe is a warrior who lies broken and wingless on the street. After eons of fighting his own battles, he finds himself being rescued from a desperate situation by a half-starved teenage girl.Traveling through a dark and twisted Northern California, they have only each other to rely on for survival. Together, they journey toward the angels' stronghold in San Francisco where she'll risk everything to rescue her sister and he'll put himself at the mercy of his greatest enemies for the chance to be made whole again.

This was a great book full of action. I will be happily reading the next book hopefully over Spring Break. I love the compassion that is shown at the very end. Also I love all the elements. Paige is handicapped, Penryn's mom is schizophrenic. I love that in an apocalyptic spin on this book with evil angels and characters that struggle with issues because no other book that I have read shows how the handicapped and insane deal with the end of time.
0Yo wtf, I thought this book would be fine, some nice entertainment, but it was so good?? Like of course there are some flaws which is why its more of a 4 star, but damn I was racing through it. The plot is really compelling and the pacing is strong.
It did start out pretty slow, I actually read the first chapter maybe a month ago and didn't keep going, but I'm so glad I decided to pick it up again. Because the plot really kicks into high gear soon after and doesn't let go. I have to know what happens next.
