Sorry I've been a little MIA. We found out we're expecting a baby (a complete surprise) and I've been pretty sick and tired...even to read! That's highly unusual for me. I'm trying to get more on the ball with my posts, but things may be rocky for a while. Here's my most recent read, I finished this weekend.
It has been fifty-five
years since the angels of the Apocalyptic War attempted to wipe out
humanity. Now a new nation has been built where alchemy is forbidden,
and angels fear for their lives as they hide among the mortals.
The city’s leaders share one view on the ancestors of angels: shoot first, no questions.
When her twin brother falls into a strange coma, sixteen-year-old Chela Prizeon vows to discover her role among these exiles, the royal angels known as the Lost Immortals.
Chela’s only hope lies with the mysterious, but infuriating leader of a rebel group. But can she trust this boy, someone who can control her dreams and her heart.
Escape into a world filled with celestial creatures, fascinating villainy, high-stake choices, and forbidden romance.

Okay,
so for me this book was really hard to get into. I think I was about
1/3 or 1/2 of the way through it before I really had to keep reading it
because I wanted to. I must be fair, I'm not sure if it was because I
read it during the first of my pregnancy and I just didn't feel like
reading? (tired and morning sickness) Or if it just took that long to
get good. By the end of the book, I really liked it and I can't wait to
read the next in the series.
I really loved the fight scenes Chela and Faris were in...and I love the little plot twist with Faris and Seth, that I didn't see coming. I think my favorite thing of all was her interaction with her best friends, Alexa? and Jalen?. They were the most honest and believable. I will definitely pick up the next book to find out what happens. I'd recommend this book to others and suggest if they struggled with the first of the book, to stick with it...it's worth it in the end.
