Summary:

"I tried not to sound hysterical, but it’s not every day you find out the paranormal is hunting you."


What if everything you believed was a lie?


A Suicide

Seventeen year old Allison Maney attends Millennium High School in Manhattan. Nothing out of the ordinary, unless you consider the occasional suicides at the school. At least that is what everyone is told, what everyone believes. But Tommy Bachelor was a popular football player; why would he jump off the roof of the school?


Dangerous Liaisons

When Dameon pays attention to Ali, she couldn't be more excited, because for the past three months he was all she could think about. But now that Dameon is finally pining for her affections, she is becoming more and more wrapped up in a clique of three who, as new transfers to the school, are proving to be trouble. But at least Dameon loves her, doesn't he?


A Soul Purpose

The underworld of angels and demons have one thing on their mind: Earth. Demons want to do what they want. Angels want to protect humans from these rogue angels, AKA: Demons


A Suspenseful Romance

Caught between Dameon and Kian, the suicide and the clique of three, Ali won't know who to trust…or who to love, because for Allison Maney, everything i not exactly what it seems.

3.0 out of 5 stars Skimming March 31, 2012

By Braine @ Talk Supe

Format:Kindle Edition

The first third of the book was a little slow. The mystery started when a boy from Ali's class died mysteriously. That was the catalyst to her discovering Angles and Demons.

This review is entitled "Skimming" because I felt like Ami B. was holding back on the story. The plot was a little too predictable for me and i found the rules a tad corny. Ali's initial association with Dameon came out of left field too. Yeah he was mentioned as being this hot guy but there was no real courtship between them that made me feel invested which dulled the effect of his betrayal.

Everything felt a little loose plot wise and I hope that in book two Ami B. would just let go and let he story take its natural course. Things felt too planned but the concept behind it is ineteresting ency ugh. I just wanted something different that would set it apart from the other Angel stories out here.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quite good, recommended for fans of YA fantasy March 30, 2012

By K. Sozaeva TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:Kindle Edition

Disclosure: I received a free advance copy of this ebook frrom the author in exchange for an honest review.

Synopsis: Coming April 6th exclusively on Kindle, and Amazon Prints. What if everything you believed was a lie? "I tried not to sound hysterical, but it's not every day you find out the paranormal is hunting you."

A Suicide.
Seventeen year old Allison Maney attends Millennium High School in Manhattan. Nothing out of the ordinary, unless you consider the occasional suicides at the school. At least that is what everyone is told, what everyone believes. But Tommy Bachelor was a popular football player; why would he jump off the roof of the school?

Dangerous Liaisons
When Dameon pays attention to Ali, she couldn't be more excited, because for the past three months he was all she could think about. But now that Dameon is finally pining for her affections, she is becoming more and more wrapped up in a clique of three who, as new transfers to the school, are proving to be trouble. But at least Dameon loves her, doesn't he?

Kian- a dangerous love interest she did not ask for.
Powers- belonging to an underworld she never knew existed.
A Clique- that could be friends or foes?

A Soul Purpose
The underworld of angels and demons have one thing on their mind: Earth. Demons want to do what they want. Angels want to protect humans from these rogue angels, AKA: Demons. For Allison Maney, everything is not exactly what it seems...

A Suspenseful Romance
Caught between Dameon and Kian, the suicide and the clique of three, Ali won't know who to trust...or who to love.

My Thoughts: This was an unsolicited book that the author sent to me; I guess because I'd won a couple of her books from LibraryThing. My reactions to the previous books I'd read by this author were mixed, so I wasn't sure what to expect from this, other than it isn't really in my preferred genre. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the story. Despite a lot of really silly similes, the writing was pretty natural-sounding, and very much like what would come out of high school students. I also found the relationships and their progressions were pretty realistic based upon my own memories of the hormone-charged days of being a teenager.

Admittedly this is an ARC, so I can probably believe that the janitor, whose name changes from Alberto to Antonio, will have his name finalized in the end. However, after the girls took all the stuff out of Tommy's locker, that night it all disappeared; then Sunday night Ali gets up and looks at his drawings - which were among the items that disappeared on Wednesday night. This is probably a major plot point that will be hard to fix. Hopefully it is.

Overall I would recommend this book - I quite liked it despite the few problems, most of which I anticipate will be fixed by the final copy.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Waste of Time! April 17, 2012

By Kelly

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

The story is focused on the main character Ali. We are eventually introduced to the 2 male angels. The tried and true theme of good vs. evil. But....it is soooooo bad. The writing is choppy, dialogue boring and unbelievable, and when I say it has strayed into the absurd and utterly ridiculous its an understatement. It deals with YA issues like suicide and sex but its writing style is as if its for the third grade. I am a fan of paranormal, YA fiction, as well as fantasy. However, I am at 60% and am deleting this from my device. It is so bad I cant continue with it. Don't waste your time.
