Publisher's summary

It’s been six weeks since angels of the apocalypse descended to demolish the modern world. Street gangs rule the day while fear and superstition rule the night. When warrior angels fly away with a helpless little girl, her 17-year-old sister, Penryn, will do anything to get her back.

Anything, including making a deal with an enemy angel.

Raffe is a warrior who lies broken and wingless on the street. After eons of fighting his own battles, he finds himself being rescued from a desperate situation by a half-starved teenage girl.

Traveling through a dark and twisted Northern California, they have only each other to rely on for survival. Together, they journey toward the angels’ stronghold in San Francisco where Penryn will risk everything to rescue her sister, and Raffe will put himself at the mercy of his greatest enemies for the chance to be made whole again.

Critic reviews

"Ee’s debut novel is a promising opener to what looks to be a YA series worth following, one that explores what it means to be human and what it means to be a hero." ( Locus Magazine)

I need the next one!

I couldn't put this down. Seriously, I devoured it. I'm hoping book 2 is just as good. November seems so far away.

GOOD PLOT. LOTS OF ACTION.

Surprisingly good. Took me a while to decide to try this series. Reviews were good so I gave it a try and I am glad I did! The protagonists were excellent and I like Penryn very much. She had lots of guts and her determination to find her missing sister was admirable. With the help of Rafee, an angel who have problems of own they made a good team.an interesting plot with a different picture of angels and demons at war and, naturally are humans caught in the middle. Worth continuing the series.

Angelic Apocalypse

I saw this book first on an add on Audible. I was in the middle of another series so I put it in my wishlist and only bought it after finishing that series and starting the Remy Chandler series. Now I wished I hadn't waited so long... This book is awesome! I do admit it was a little confusing going from the Remy Chandler series to this, but Angelfall is very good.

When most people envision angels coming down to earth to start the apocalypse they probably don't imagine that the first thing humans will do is shoot the Archangel Gabriel. That is how this scenario starts out. Humans started the war and now the angels are out for revenge.

This story follows the adventures of a high school aged girl as she struggles on her quest to reach the heart of Angel territory, however she has an unusual companion and must decide whether he is a friend or an enemy.

My only complaints were the completely unnecessary use of an f-word, only used once. And one crude joke that was likewise completely unnecessary.

Can't wait for the second book!!!

Any additional comments?

THIS is one of the best books I have read in the last year or so!The storyline is fresh.The story is fast paced but easy to keep up with all the major and minor characters.The main character is a teen named Penren.She is trying to save her family,or what's left of it after Angels destroy most of earth.All Angels are bad...or ARE they?I'm glad this is a series so I can find out what happens next!
The book is read by Caitlin Davies.She does a great job with all voices and inflections through out the story.The perfect voice,in my opinion.

Angels With Attitude!!!

This fantasy was very YA and something I would not normally enjoy so much BUT the world building was vivid and I was immediately sucked in and stayed up till 2 am last night reading... that was untill I passed out and got smacked in the face by my iPad! BUT I was not deterred and switched to the Audibook version which I also enjoyed - mostly because the narrator (Caitlin Davies) actually sounded like a 17 year old!

The witty banter and and the fast-paced plot kept me captivated throughout - but what was unique to me was actually reading a book about Angels instead of watching their story in a movie (City of Angels, Constantine and Legion) or TV (Angel and Castiel)!

On to book 2...

first time reader/listener

Pretty interesting book, never heard of author and don't typically read these types of books but I enjoyed it and have purchased all.

Angel

I love this book when I’ve read it and still loved it while listening to it. Caitlin Davies did an excellent job at narrating.

Fun, Entertaining, and a Little Thrilling

I initially purchased this audiobook for my granddaughter, but decided to listen to it myself and I am happy that I did because I really enjoyed it, Written from the viewpoint of a teenager, the author did a great job of capturing the voice of a mature teenager who coped with the responsibilities and challenges of a changing and hostile world.
Listening to the narrator (who did a great job) I thoroughly felt that I was listening to the voice and emotions of a teenager. Penryn's reactions and interactions with Raffie and others, were interspersed with humor and the angst and confusion that is so often experienced by young people who are forced into adult responsibilities before they are prepared for them.
Susan Ee managed to make me laugh at times and feel great sorrow at other times. Above all, she made me want to keep reading. In fact, I bought the second book before I had finished the first because I wanted to know what happened next.

My favorite.

I have read this series at least 3 times and now as a mother I couldn't spend time to read but was excited to see it was on audible. it still is as amazing as I remember. I will never get tired of this book. my favorite ❤️❤️❤️❤️
