She Speaks to Angels by Ami Blackwelder

Posted by: Lynne T in Reviews, Young Adult January 30, 2015 0 46 Views

Allison is seventeen, and being a teenager is never easy, but for Ali it is worse. In the past there have been kids that have committed suicide at her school. When a popular, beloved football player allegedly jumps off the roof of the high school, Ali has more questions than answers. Suddenly, three new students start at Ali’s High School, she befriends them, and then she realizes they are troublemakers.

When Ali’s crush, Dameon, starts to pay attention to her, Ali is thrilled, but torn between him and her three new friends. Not knowing whom to trust, Ali and her friends question the supposed suicide, and she learns there is more going on than what it appears.

She Speaks to Angels starts out slowly, but suddenly picks up in a flurry of action. This book is very well-written, and the high school parts of the book are simply perfect. The author captures those moments exactly like the days when we were in high school (though we did not have angels or demons). She captures the “cliques” that are at every school with such finesse, and talent.

Ali is a great character, and Ms. Blackwelder does such an amazing job with her very detail-oriented descriptions, from the characters to the background, especially of the angels and demons. I highly recommend this novel, especially if you have a love of angels. It is not an easy task to write a book for Young Adults that also captivates adults, yet Blackwelder does it flawlessly. I am looking forward to her next book to see where she takes the characters.

Reviews from Sebrena

               She Speaks to Angels (The AngelFire Chronicles #1)

The book has great promise and is the first of a trilogy. I found the first half of the book moved rather slowly, however, the second half moved along at a fast rate and became a real page turner. It's a gripping young adult novel that brings together angels & demons with romance & suspense. A welcome diversion from vampires and werewolves. But, it's not for realists though.

                Dumah's Demons (The AngelFire Chronicles #1.5)

This is a great novella. It gives just enough to get you wanting more. It works as a stand alone but you you will need to read, She Speaks to Angels, in order to understand some of the characters. The story is of Kian’s sister, Dumah (Dumah is found in 'Falling Angels', Book 2) and how she becomes a Dark Angel. 

                Falling Angels (The AngelFire Chronicles #2)

I enjoyed this book. It has a good storyline about how people never seem to be happy with what they have and always want more. I couldn't seem to read the pages fast enough to see what would happen next. Can not wait to see how book 3 turns out. This is worth the read. You will not be disappointed!

Thanks,

Sebrena

Review of Dumah's Demons from J Bronder

Review from J Bronder Book Reviews

This story starts out after a bad gang attacks Kain and Dumah, his sister. Dumah starts having strange abilities and runs into Dameon. He explains to her how she is part angel and how she has special abilities. He also tells her how doing evil things can change her person. Dameon gives her a home, helps encourage her to use her abilities, and seems to give her the love that she is looking for. But there is something going on and Dameon is going to need Dumah’s help.

I really liked how you learn more about Dameon. This tied into She Speaks to Angels but it also can be a stand alone story. I loved it and felt compassion for Dumah when she found her place with the Dark Angels. Now I’m going to have to go back and read She Speaks to Angels again.

This is a great novella, just a quick taste to get you wanting more with She Speaks to Angels and Falling Angels.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

You can find Dumah’s Demons on Amazon and Goodreads.

Early Review of Falling Angels from Dennis

Early Review of Falling Angels from Dennis

I enjoyed this book. If you’re into angels then this is a series that you don’t want to miss. One thing I can say is that the characters are written well. I can truly believe that Ali and her friends are teenagers. Usually when I read a story it’s the characters and then the plot that draws my attention, but with Falling Angels it’s the plot that keeps drawing me back. I love the problems and objects that come in play that help move the plot along. I love the premise behind Angelfire and the idea of how we all have the ability to go dark within us. I love how demons come to be and even Dameon. For once the bad guys are actually really bad and we see just how evil they are. I can’t wait for the next book and to see Ali grow and mature. Read this series you won’t be disappointed.
