“Jackson Godspeed is the hottest young Angel in a city filled with them. He's days away from becoming a full Guardian, and people around the world are already competing for the chance to be watched over by him. Everyone's obsessed with the Angels and the lucky people they protect--everyone except for Madison Montgomery.
Maddy's the one girl in Angel City who doesn't breathlessly follow the Angels on TV and gossip blogs. When she meets Jackson, she doesn't recognize him. But Jackson is instantly captivated by her, and against all odds the two fall in love” From Goodreads.
I was lucky enough to win an ARC of this book, which may be
coming out as a television show or a movie sometime in the future.
So this sounds like just a typical teen, supernatural-romance
book doesn’t it? And trust me the
romance side does read just like that. It’s annoying and teenage. They fall out
over stuff that doesn’t really matter, then can’t really be together and blah
blah blah till the end where it’s all wrapped up and a bit too convenient for
my liking. Same old same old.
However what I did like about this book was the murders
going on at the same time. The book became a lot more interesting from that
side. That part read a bit like one of James Patterson’s Alex Cross novels or a
series of 24. It was much more nitty gritty and substantial.
So I’d give the romance a 1.5 and the crime a 4. If only this
writer had tried to go into crime novels instead of young adult romance. I hope
someday he will because he’s got a real talent for that but I don’t think I
will continue reading this series. I am just not compelled to find out any more
about any of the other characters, except the main detective guy.
