In this sequel to the bestselling fantasy thriller, Angelfall, the survivors of the angel apocalypse begin to scrape back together what's left of the modern world.

When a group of people capture Penryn's sister Paige, thinking she's a monster, the situation ends in a massacre. Paige disappears. Humans are terrified. Mom is heartbroken.

Penryn drives through the streets of San Francisco looking for Paige. Why are the streets so empty? Where is everybody? Her search leads her into the heart of the angels' secret plans where she catches a glimpse of their motivations, and learns the horrifying extent to which the angels are willing to go.

Meanwhile, Raffe hunts for his wings. Without them, he can't rejoin the angels, can't take his rightful place as one of their leaders. When faced with recapturing his wings or helping Penryn survive, which will he choose?

Brandy | 2535 comments I will be starting this sometime this week. It is going to be the audio version, so I have to finish the book I am in.


message 4: by Nicola (new)

Nicola I'm enjoying this so far although I do miss Raffe. I think it works better when they're together.

I'm glad you're liking it so far Nicola!

Me too, Brandy - - I want to finish one of the other books I'm reading first and then I will start this one some time this week too.

Ok so I've made it to chapter 7!

I really like how (view spoiler)

Like you said Nicola, I miss Raffe too. I wonder if (view spoiler)


message 7: by Nicola (new)

Nicola I'm done! I liked that it picks up where Angelfall ends too. There definitely wasn't enough Raffe but I was still hooked and couldn't put it down.

I can't believe we have to wait until May for book 3!


message 8: by Brandy (new)

Brandy | 2535 comments I just started it, but there was a Raffe sighting. Then I pulled in the garage and had to shut it off.

I'm glad I'm not the only one behind! I'll read more tonight when I get home. I couldn't get the audiobook fast enough this time so I borrowed the actual book from the library.

I'm glad you liked it Nicola! I know! We'll have to pick a new trilogy to read in the mean time. It'll be perfect timing for May.


message 10: by Brandy (new)

Brandy | 2535 comments I am about 30% in. The chemistry of this book seems off. I think Nicola and Lucy are right, it is the lack of Raffe.


message 11: by Brandy (new)

Brandy | 2535 comments We do! need a trilogy to read to put us through to the final Penryn book! I have a few suggestions:
Infernal Devices by Cassandra Claire
Pathfinder by Orson Scott Card
or Celestial Blues by Vicki Pattersson What do y'all think?

I actually have Clockwork Angel already in my overdrive queue. We can read that one this month even if you wanted to.

And yes - I miss Raffe too :(


message 13: by Brandy (new)

Brandy | 2535 comments I have it ready to go too. I'm game to start anytime after I finish World After.


message 14: by Sara, The Meme Mod! (new)

Sara | 3903 comments Mod

Nicola Ohhhhh a cover!! I really like it.

This website (http://www.ew.com/article/2015/02/05/...) also has an exclusive excerpt... I can't bring myself to read it though as I don't want a spoiler lol!


message 23: by Brandy (new)

Brandy | 2535 comments cool cover, looks so tragic.
Nicola, I agree I don't like to read anything that could have spoilers. I learned my lesson.
