Het boek had een trage start en het kostte me dan ook wat tijd om er weer in te komen, maar naar mate het boek vorderde raakte ik weer in de ban en het laatste stuk heb ik in 1 ruk uit gelezen! Ik ben heel benieuwd naar het derde deel, maar hoop wel dat de schrijfster daar iets sneller "to the point" komt, want dat heeft het boek op zich wel nodig...

OMG yes, yes, yes, YES! So totally YES!

Angel Burn is about a girl named Willow. In the last book Willow found out she was half Angel, that Angels feed from peoples' energies and that Angel killers want to stop then. She tried to help the Angel Killers destroy the Church of Angels before the Second wave. The problem is that people worship the Angels forever after they have been fed from and can't see them. THe news is broadcasting her as a terrorist who hates Angels and is possibly insane. So she changes her hair, takes her Angel Killer boyfriend Alex, and heads to Mexico. When they get there, Willow has a Vision, it shows twelve brightly glowing Angels and a boy she has never seen before, but feels very close to, in Mexico City. Alex agrees to go there and when they finally arrive they find a group of Angel Killers who are not very good. They help the AKs fend off the Angels and then ask them lots of questions. It turns out they were Angel spotters in the US, but found another Angel Killer and came here. After being reunited with Kara, the other AK, Alex agrees to train them. One day when they are out on a hunt Willow meets Seb, the boy from her dream. He had been trying to find them because he was also a half Angel. Seb teaches Willow many things she doesn't know how to do with her Angel powers. Unfortunately, Seb and Alex do not get along very well. Previously they had learned that the Twelve Angels were the ones who governed the other Angels. If they destroyed The Twelve they could destroy all the Angels. At the last minute before the attack Willow learns that her father Angel, Raziel, has been looking through her mind and knows the plan and that it might not destroy all the Angels, but quite a few and he plans to take over afterwards. Willow tries to give this information to Alex and he starts to listen, but Kara comes in and overthrows Alex, Willow and Seb. She takes the rest of the group and continues with the original plan. They finally work their way out of the basement they were locked in and hurry to stop them. When they get there they are almost too late. Most of the Twelve are gone, they try to stop them, but soon they are all dead. As Raziel predicted, half the angels in the world die but most are alive. The group runs away and flies off the roof. The Twelve had put roots in Mexico City as well as many other cities around the world and as they died the roots started destroying the cities. They barely make it out. When hey leave Willow is still afraid she causes Angel burn to Alex, so stays away from him even though he wants to make up from the previous fight and breakup. His aura is damaged like and Angel Burn Victim's. Alex remembers that his dad had them too and insists its an AK thing. Seb reads Alex's future and decides that this is true. Willow has her boyfriend Alex and her best friend Seb back. They plan to go to Nevada to set up a base and continue to fight the Angel's.
I liked this book because I found it easy to follow even though I had not read the first. I look forward to a sequel, but will probably not read The first book. It sounds fun but i think I got the information I needed from this book.

Alex & Willow | Assassin/Victim Romance | M / F | Book 2

Absolutely loved this book! Healed my inner child as I read the first one when I was like 14 but I couldn’t be asked to wait 2 years for the next one to come so I just forgot about it! Loved finding it now!!

Had everything I love (jealousy, will they won’t they, a tiny bit of action, camp setting).

Was rooting for Seb for like the first 85% of the book and then when willow broke Alex’s heart - I became team Alex!!

Truly loved it! Happy girl.

I was unsure about starting in on this next installment in the Angel Burn series. The first book was more enjoyable than I had originally anticipated, as can be seen in my review. But something was keeping me from getting excited about this next book. Perhaps it was the over-exposure to angel paranormals. Regardless of the reason, when I finally picked it up, the story performed better than I expected.

The action in chapter one picks up right where the first book leaves off, which is always appreciated by me. There's no better way to start a sequel than with action directly after the first book. no lazy daisy taking your time getting back into the story! In fact, the action was better overall in this book than in the first. Action can go such a long way in the reader's pleasure! I liked that there was so much fighting and gun-shooting action. I still love the way angels are evil in this series.

The characters were just so-so. Willow was fine, with her complex relationship with her two selves. I honestly wanted to see more of her struggle, instead of her just pushing her angel side down. Alex was a bore, being way too over-dramatic one moment, and then being for too submissive in the next. The introduction of Seb was a saving point, as the conflict he brought to both Alex and Willow was intense. I would have to agree with Willow that the choice is tricky.

There is supposed to be on more book to round out this trilogy, and though I hesitate to get excited about it, I know I will pick it up to see the fate of these characters.

This book is so emotional. It is so frustrating, to the point of wanting to throw it out the window. For that reason I rated it 4 stars, also because I didn't find it to be as happy and compelling as the first one. I was annoyed a lot and it made me anxious. This didn't make it any less good, the writing and storytelling was still really great, I just didn't love it as much.

I understand why Weatherly threw in the love triangle. It needed that new emotional turmoil, I could hardly expect Alex and Willow to carry on normally. They had all this stuff happening living in Mexico City with the AK's, and it made sense that someone like Willow would be discovered. How could there not be a love triangle? I think it was natural too for Willow to sort of like Seb even though she loved Alex. She has finally found someone who understands her, who can be her best friend and empathize with her, plus he's super attractive. I just really hated that Alex had to be such a jerk about it- I understand jealousy but god. The way he treated Willow about it leading up to their fight and everything was so unacceptable.

Thankfully all was eventually well and he came to his dang senses, but I'm really annoyed with the synopsis of the third book that hasn't even come out yet. It says there's still going to be a love triangle. Like, what? I thought we obviously got passed that. I sincerely hope Weatherly does the right thing here and doesn't play our emotions too hard, because after Angel Fire I think we all may be rather drained.

For a second novel it still will keep the reader very interested, I could barely part with this 600+ page novel. It definitely held it's own up to the impressive first first book, and I'm very interested and hopeful for the third in last in this trilogy.

emotional, intense and lots of new characters !!

If the ending hadn't happened the way it did, there'd have been serious hell to pay. But this book is over 600 pages and sometimes it really felt that way. So much angst and I still don't 100% trust what Seb says at the end, but I'm holding out hope. *sigh* Very glad I have the last book, even though there wasn't much of a cliffhanger. Good book overall!

better than the first book, this book outlines the angels.
