."Wings of the wicked" is the second book in the
"Angelfire" series, by Courtney Allison Moulton
Synopsis:
Life as the Preliator is harder than
Ellie ever imagined.
Balancing real life
with the responsibility of being Heaven's warrior is a challenge for Ellie. Her
relationship with Will has become all business, though they both long for each
other. And now that the secret of who she really is has come out, so have
Hell's strongest reapers. Grown bold and more vicious, the demonic threaten her
in the light of day and stalk her in the night.
She's been warned.
Cadan, a demonic
reaper, comes to her with information about Bastian's new plan to destroy
Ellie's soul and use an ancient relic to wake all the souls of the damned and
unleash them upon humanity. As she fights to stay ahead of Bastian's schemes ,
the revelations about those closest to her awaken a dark power within Ellie
that threatens to destroy everything—including herself.
She'll be betrayed.
Treachery comes
even from those whom she loves, and Ellie is broken by the deaths of those who
stood beside her in this Heavenly war. Still, she must find a way to save the
world, herself, and her love for Will. If she fails, there will be hell to pay.
Courtney's debut
ANGELFIRE was a 2011 Indie Next Pick.
"This is one
heroine who's happy to take matters (and angelic swords) into her own
hands."
Publishers
Weekly
"A dark and
compelling world of action and intrigue... Readers will find themselves engrossed
in the story until its powerful conclusion - then anxiously awaiting the second
installment."
VOYA
"The action
scenes have enough intensity and adrenaline to send Buffy home hanging her head
in shame, and Ellie is likable both as a high-octane heroine and a regular girl
coping with family and social drama. The biblical mythology the story is based
upon is compelling, and, of course, the sword fighting and butt kicking make
this a ride worth taking."
BCCB
"At last a YA
novel about a sword-yielding, butt-kicking 17-year-old girl who has been
destined to fight the forces of evil; by her side is Will, her guardian angel
protector. Ellie is not that contemporary teen of other novels, who constantly
needs rescuing by her immortal boyfriend. Packed with blistering action,
mystery, romance, and terror, readers will be glued from the first page to the
last, breathlessly waiting for book two of this exciting trilogy!"
