No one has seen them, the mystery surrounding them grows and grows as people begin to speculate. There are other creatures which are hunting the humans in the night. Many accentuate this by wearing matching colourful clothes, accessories and make their women wear the same.

The angels have colourful plumage that spreads to their bodies. The angels have taken to human things such as old fashions, the luxury of living in hotels with human servants and having women accompany them like accessories. None of them know what their mission was so now they must adapt. In the initial assault the angel's commander Michail of killed. Penryn's wheelchair bound sister was kidnapped by an angel and Penryn must make a deal with an injured angel called Raffe to rescue her. The angels are not kind and loving but are cruel and have slaughtered thousands. This book follows Penryn, a young girl living in a dystopian world where angels have conquered the world and have run humans into hiding. Knowing this was not the only book out there when I finished, I immediately picked up World After, which I will be reading. I loved going with Penryn through the end of the world, showing how she survives, and what was becoming of the human civilization. As someone who loves the dark side of writing, I found this book very enjoyable to read.

That doesn't seem like the case for Angelfall, as the only 'romance' done was just a kiss that, in the end, meant nothing (or so we think. I heard that to have a good story, there needs to be some form of romance to keep things interesting. The relationship between Penryn and Raffe happens to be one of my favorite types of relationships snarky, sarcastic, but at the same time, you just feel some type of bond between the two. I always used to wonder when I would come across a book that would make it seem like the angels were the bad guys, and, well, I found it. Angelfall is most definitely a unique story with a dark twist on angels and the apocalypse itself.
