We have a new staff member! Welcome Jacque!!Ĭome Together: The Business Wisdom of The Beatles. This Advance Reader's E-Proof was provided to me by HarperCollins and netGalley.īooknerds in Love Triangles: Nightshade by Andrea. Has something similar ever happened to you? I could see the tension between Will and Ellie, but I couldn't feel it. While I found myself feeling a little bad for Landon, I was not buying Will as the sexy, mysterious boy. All the talk about the fancy cars and the shopping and the clothes seemed unnecessary to me.īut I think the straw that broke the camel's back for me was the relationship. I felt there was a lack of detail in many areas and no build up to the plot, no sense of anticipation of what was coming. I found it quite shifty - it read to me like a series of scenes as opposed to a story. While the concept is wonderful, the writing was lacking delivery for me. When we start the book, Ellie is rediscovering her powers with the help of her immortal protector Will. (Yep, like Grim Reaper.) Ellie is the reincarnation of the only human warrior who can stop these reapers because she can conjure swords of angelfire to defeat them. Monstrous creatures called reapers devour humans and send their souls to Hell. I received an ARC from netGalley and HarperCollins and was eager to jump right in. For whatever reason, we had to break up with it.Īngelfire trailer from the author's website.Įven though Angelfire was just released a couple of weeks ago, it was a book I had hearing a lot about for quite awhile. We've all started to read a book and just couldn't make it through. I can't take full credit for the concept of breaking up with a book - I read it somewhere in the blogosphere and thought it was just a perfect analogy.
