The Angriest Angel #2
The Emancipation Pattern
Chase Madison had a tough childhood. Raised in a broken home and struggling with undiagnosed ADHD, he was constantly in trouble. Life didn't get much better as an adult-jailed, abandoned by family and friends, and fired from his job. But then he meets the Caelans. They look like and act like us, but they are not from this planet. Completely peaceful, they've lived here for years, hiding in plain sight by using a mental ability called 'psy' to maintain their secret identity. But after more than 50 years of peace, anger has begun to infect the Caelans-like a sickness-forcing all 939 to be quarantined here. And when they meet Chase, they discover that their psy does not work on him. His immunity to their power presents a serious security risk. Join Chase on the adventure of his life as he makes wondrous discoveries, improbable friends, terrifying enemies, finds unexpected love, and begins to believe in himself-for the first time in his life.

About the author
Christopher Halt
4 books629 followersChris was born in Youngstown, Ohio, but has spent most of his life in the Chicago area. A lifelong fan of reading, he wrote his first story at age of eleven titled "The Life of a Grasshopper's Tennis Shoe," a task given to him by a teacher as punishment for his inability to pay attention in class. He embraced the assignment, however, and filled an entire spiral notebook with a tale filled with antics of the grasshopper community.
Chris pursued advanced writing at the college level, but subpar grades and lack of attention to the fundamentals caused one of his professors to tell him that he would never make it as a writer. He took the advice and pursued a career in computer software, where he found success.
Then on July 6th, 2006 his life would be forever changed when he was tested and diagnosed with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder. While there is no cure for ADHD, he was given a treatment plan to help manage the symptoms, which enabled him to pursue writing once again.
In 2008 he published his first novel The Dharma Revelation, where it found critical acclaim on Wattpad, and a favorable Kirkus Review.
In 2010 he began writing a non-fiction piece on ADHD awareness. But he soon realized that the best way to tell his story was in novel form. Thus, The Angriest Angel was born.
The Angriest Angel was a semifinalist in the "Soon to be Famous, Illinois" writer's competition, and received a “Kirkus Starred” review, one of the most rare and coveted awards in the literary community.
It went on to become a trilogy, which was completed in 2018:
The Angriest Angel
The Emancipation Pattern
Pillars of Amorum

Just a note... If you read the first book in this trilogy, you will be rushing to get book 2 and 3. I couldn't put any of them down! Characters are wonderful, story moves along nicely without too many obvious situations. The fact that the main character had ADHD (as does the author, if I read that right) only adds to the exemplary, honest characters in this book. It's also a wonderful love story! Great trilogy! Great Read! Ahhh, to meet an alien (friendly I hope...)!

Amazing story!
I read Book 1 as a free book from NetGalley. It was so captivating that I purchased the second book. Both were very hard to put down. The author's background was one of the things that made me curious about the book. I highly recommend the series. And now, I'm off to buy Book 3!
