Waiting on Wednesday: Angelfire


This is a weekly meme hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine. "Waiting on Wednesday" spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.


Angelfire by Courtney Allison Mouton
Pub. Date: February 15, 2011



Goodreads says, "This debut, the first novel in a trilogy, is achingly romantic, terrifying, and filled with blistering action.  When seventeen-year-old Ellie starts seeing reapers - monstrous creatures who devour humans and send their souls to Hell - she finds herself on the front lines of a supernatural war between archangels and the Fallen and faced with the possible destruction of her soul.  A mysterious boy named Will reveals she is the reincarnation of an ancient warrior, the only one capable of wielding swords of angelfire to fight the reapers, and he is an immortal sworn to protect her in battle. Now that Ellie's powers have been awakened, a powerful reaper called Bastian has come forward to challenge her. He has employed a fierce assassin to eliminate her - an assassin who has already killed her once.  While balancing her dwindling social life and reaper-hunting duties, she and Will discover Bastian is searching for a dormant creature believed to be a true soul reaper. Bastian plans to use this weapon to ignite the End of Days and to destroy Ellie's soul, ending her rebirth cycle forever. Now, she must face an army of Bastian's most frightening reapers, prevent the soul reaper from consuming her soul, and uncover the secrets of her past lives - including truths that may be too frightening to remember."

*This series sounds extremely promising.  Archangels?  Reapers?  It sounds like something I'm sure I'll love. What do you guys think?

  10. I'm interested in this book, too. The only other books I've read with reapers in it are those from The Madison Avery series by Kim Harrison (and I'm not the biggest fan).
