As if being the only Archangel-human hybrid in the world wasn’t overwhelming enough for Imorean Frayneson, the demon general Vortigern also happens to hold a murderous grudge against him.
Battle looms on the horizon, angels turn on each other, and Imorean finds difficulty even amongst his friends. . . not to mention his new range of powers are nearly uncontrollable.
When he finds himself alone and facing his hardest battle yet, even Imorean doesn’t know if he has any chance of survival…
Harriet Carlton emigrated with her family to eastern North Carolina from Norfolk, England at the age of 4. Harriet has written from the age of 16, and by the age of 19, she had finished Angels Rising, the first of a four book series. At age 21, the Angels Rising series was published by Ashton Publishing Group. She is currently a junior at East Carolina University, and is a triple major of English, Great Books, and Foreign Language - German. She is also the German Club President at ECU, and a member of their equestrian team. Harriet is the owner of a rescue horse named Gallchobhar, and five rescue dogs.
This book is a continuation of the story, and is quite engaging. It is classic good vs evil using a teenage angel hybrid - actually an archangel hybrid- and his efforts to defeat primary evil with all the teenage angst that is possible while he works towards that goal. My continuing problem with the series is the language. No, there is no swearing but if she describes him one more time as ‘the white haired boy’ I might scream. Other than that I definitely want to keep reading the series. In case that sounds like there may have been a cliffhanger, there was a gentle one, setting up the premise for the next book in the series. And yes, it does give me the extra motivation to read the next book, just in case I didn’t already want to, but it wasn’t needed!!
Lots of twists and turns in this one. The series needs to be read in order. Imorean was a regular teenager starting college. He was accepted into a college in Norway. When he gets there, he finds out an archangel, Michael, has gifted him with a part of him when he was just a baby. He also has some angel blood in him from a relative. He has to learn to fight with a personal sword and learn about the enemy. He battles Vortegern himself. It's an intense ride and i loved it. I wish Michael would've been more forth coming with information but I can see why he isn't. I loved all the archangels and the students. Kind of grew attached to them.
Like the Unseen Wizard world of Hogwarts, Harriet Carlton has created an angel world among us. High school graduates fly or are transported to schools that will prepare them for the war against demons that threaten the existence of mankind. The very satisfying purpose of preserving honor, loyalty, goodness, friendship, and respect with a dash of humor make this a very worthwhile read for teens and adults. Highly recommended!
While Imorean does need to grow up a bit, there are some good twists especially with Michael and Uriel. There are also some shock factors with a hopeful end. Roxy is still annoying, but it is all so beautifully written.
This series has definitely kept my attention. As Imorean grows into his abilities, he meets more and more challenges;physical, emotional and mental. His life is wrapped in grief and he will have to overcome it if he wants to defeat his enemy. Anxiously beginning the last book in the series.
What an exciting addition to this series! And again this isn't the ending. As much as I love the story, the continuing tends to sour! Each book ends leaving you unsatisfied! But I still read on! Its such a good story!
This series is really great. I have been captured by the angels and demons . the story is moving along . we are now at a pivotal moment in time what will become of our crew?
This is the 3rd book of a YA fantasy book series of four books. I am reading them all in a row as an all-in-one e-book edition (1749 pages). I will write a review for the series as a whole in the last book of the series (Angels Falling
Well I’ve read the rest now haven’t I I’m going to have to read the last one even though these aren’t even that good I hate 90% of the characters but I can’t stop
