About this title

Review:

Full of suspense and beautifully written. --The Sun

Packed with suspense and drama. --The Daily Mail

If Eoin Colfer reinvented the fairy and Stephenie Meyer reinvented the vampire then without a doubt L.A. Weatherly has reinvented the angel in this powerful, dark and hugely suspenseful novel. --Lovereading

A powerful, dark and hugely inventive thriller that burrowsbeneath the reader's skin. --Jake Hope, The Bookseller

The first of L A Weatherly's thrilling and much-anticipated teen trilogy is a celestial stunner, daring to clip the wings of the current angel cult and delivering something much more deliciously devilish. Weatherly weaves a dark, atmospheric and addictive story full of epic adventure and spine-tingling suspense, and then spices it up with a heart-stopping romance that unfurls as gently as a good angel s wings. A fantastical flight of imagination that is heaven-sent for teenagers... --Lancashire Evening Post

Suspense, drama and romance, Angel has it all. --Reading Force

This book just made me want to keep reading and reading. --Teen Titles

The analogy with vampire-fiction is obvious and will appeal to fans of the genre, but the angelic predators provide an excellent twist, blending together perceptions of dark and light. --Books for Keeps

Beautifully written, pacy and action-filled, as well as unfolding such a soulful and tender romance that no girl who reads it is going to want to be with anyone who doesn't live up to the gorgeous (outside and in) Alex. --Kelly McKain

Angel is one of those can't be put down books that leaves the reader breathless at the end and longing for the next instalment. --Write Away

L.A. Weatherley has turned convention on its head. [Angel is] a fast-paced mix of action and romance, with an added dose of the paranormal, which had me totally hooked. --Mad House

A thriller with a difference, this riveting read explores the conflicting emotions felt by two young people who know, with apocalyptic dread, that only by risking their lives can they save the world. --Booktrust

The strongest in a crowded field of paranormal romance. --The National Literacy Trust
