About the author

Annie grew up as an only child in the English countryside during the 1950s. Her father was not always around but when he was, he would tell her fantastical stories, often with her as the principal character. Annie missed him and his stories, which led her to the fantasy section at her local library, thus sparking life-long love of fiction.

After undertaking jobs such as waitressing, cleaning and factory work, Annie went on to study at University of Warwick and soon started writing.

Annie lives in Norfolk. She has three children, Anna, Reuben, and Maria (the inspiration for the first “Angels Unlimited” book, “Winging It”) and two grandchildren, Sophie and Isabella.

I used to read this series when I was really young, and back then I really liked them. Even though these are still quite enjoyable, they just feel too young for me now. I'm still going to read the rest of the books at some point, just so I can say I eventually finished this series.

Eine neue spannende Mission erwartet Lisa, Lola und Ruben sowie die anderen Praktikanten-Engel. Der Schreibstil ist gewohnt locker und flüssig. Die Geschichten sind sehr abwechslungsreich und interessant gestaltet. Die Protagonistin entwickelt sich stetig weiter. Jedoch zeigt sie auch immer mal wieder Verhaltensweisen wie zu ihren Lebzeiten. Das macht den "Reifungsprozess" noch authentischer. Ich bin gespannt auf den nächsten Band.

This book is satisfying from the POV that it gives us more background on a few key characters and answers a few questions, but the plot is pushed a little too quickly compared to some of the other books, and a lot is left up in the air.

great :)

[Felicity · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed this but found it was a bit too similar to the second book.

Mel, Lola and Reuben get sent to the middle ages when another crisis happens.

not bad for my little sister.

[Holly Beacher · Rating 4 out of 5]

Rereading books I used to enjoy for my little sister! This was okay, obviously I would prefer a longer book but generally good story and something a younger child would enjoy.

A quick read, had to check if the children crusade is real - it was and that’s sad but the plot was dead (like the characters haha)

Fluide, entraînant, avec un ton léger malgré des faits historiques difficiles.

Cette fois, nos amis parte en mission au moyen-âge. Alors franchement, je suis nulle en Histoire ^^” mais j'ai eu plaisir à suivre leur aventure et faire quelques recherches historiques après ma lecture. J'ai retrouvé, un instant, ma curiosité d'enfant. L'aspect historique reste secondaire mais sert bien le récit.

Je me suis d'abord dit que je préférais les missions où ils évoluent que tous les 3. Et bim ! Ils sont écartés de la mission de groupe pour une mission spéciale. Youpi ! Même si j'aime bien les interactions avec Orlando, le chef d'équipe, j'adore les voir tirer profit de leur force respective pour réussir.

Un vrai moment de détente, agréable.

Loved this when I was younger, definitely on the younger side of YA.

Awesome read

A great story with a nice twist. A chance to learn a bit more about the characters. I loved it.

[Chimzi Omodu · Rating 5 out of 5]

Angels Unlimited (The Collection) is a comforting and imaginative series that offers readers an escape into a world filled with angels, mystery, and hope. The stories are built around themes of guidance, protection, and unseen forces that watch over human lives, which makes the collection especially appealing to readers who enjoy spiritual or fantasy-inspired narratives.

What stands out most is the atmosphere of the book. The writing creates a soft, dreamlike world that allows readers to step away from reality and immerse themselves in something more comforting and symbolic. The tone is gentle and reflective, making it easy to connect emotionally with the stories.

The collection explores ideas of loss, healing, and finding meaning beyond difficult life experiences. Through its imaginative storytelling, it offers a sense of reassurance that even in moments of sadness or confusion, there is still hope and guidance to be found. This emotional undercurrent is what makes the series resonate strongly with readers who are looking for comfort reads.

The characters and situations are not overly complex, but they serve the purpose of delivering messages of hope and emotional recovery. The simplicity of the storytelling makes it accessible, especially for younger readers or anyone seeking a light but meaningful reading experience.

Overall, Angels Unlimited (The Collection) is a soothing and imaginative series that provides emotional comfort through fantasy storytelling. It is best appreciated as a reflective escape rather than a deeply plot-driven novel, offering readers a gentle reminder of hope, resilience, and unseen support during difficult times.

These 3 stars are enough to give to this book. It's very easygoing and when you finish reading, you don't think about it anymore. It's also a very quick read: I can't help feeling that angels are much more interesting characters and the author gives them a very small area (althrough they are the main characters)...
The only thing I really love about the series is how Annie Dalton adds interesting historical events to the plot. But I'm a fan of extensive books, this is embarrassingly simple.

From the very beginning Brice was an intriguing character to me. I will say, I quite like the story and the plot of all of these books, but this one is certainly my favourite because it had so much of Brice it was the first book to actually tell us more about Brice, his background and why Brice is Brice. This book overall is quite fun and Mel is a Memorable character who's interesting and quirky.

[Sally · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really enjoy this series! Especially this one, which had them travel back to the time of the Children's Crusade. However the futuristic plot with Dom and Brice is what stops me from giving this four stars.

This Book is pretty boring and i dont quite understand it.

The tale of Brice, explained.

[Andie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Definitely a younger book but it's nice to be childish and imaginative once in a while.

[Samama Reza · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very interesting and imaginative book. I liked it (Y)

[Eve Lumerto · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was such a fun adventure to me as a pre-teen.

[Lonely Panda · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not my favorite in the series, it deals with Brice's story and it was harsh on Mel.

Read this book when I was like 12. They're a fun little read for tweens and younger teens.
