Once you’ve seen, you can’t unsee. Everything changes when you’ve looked at the world through....ANGEL EYES
Brielle’s a ballerina who went to the city to chase her dreams and found tragedy instead. She’s come home to shabby little Stratus, Oregon, to live with her grief and her guilt . . . and the incredible, numbing cold she can’t seem to shake.
Jake’s the new guy at school. The boy next door with burning hands and an unbelievable gift that targets him for corruption.
Something more than fate has brought them together. An evil bigger than both of them lurks in the shadows nearby, hiding in plain sight. Two angels stand guard, unsure what’s going to happen. And a beauty brighter than Jake or Brielle has ever seen is calling them to join the battle in a realm where all human choices start.
A realm that only angels and demons—and Brielle—can perceive.

Like a lot of my author friends, I don't do book reviews anymore. What I do is gush about the books that I have fallen totally in love with, and ANGEL EYES is one of them. Before I start said gushing, I have to talk about how lovely the author is. Shannon Dittemore is one of the SWEETEST and most supportive authors on the internet, and I am SO, SO pleased that she sent me a copy of her book. I'm even more pleased that the woman can write like nobody's freakin business. Seriously, you guys. This girl can WRITE. When I started the book, I figured it would be good. But I didn't realize just HOW good. From the first page, Shannon's writing style showed through, and it is gorgeous. Flowing sentences. Amazing descriptions. Words that made me drool. Her characters are so real you feel like you know them. The main character, Brielle, was wonderfully done. I felt her pain like it was my pain, and the journey the reader goes through with her is so perfectly executed. The setting, in Oregon, is PERFECT for this type of story, because the weather and scenery just meshes so well with Brielle's journey. Also. There's a sexy boy, who kept me turning pages because the connection between the two of them was so well done. Alright. That's enough gushing for today, agreed?I won't talk about what happens in the book, because I want you to read it and fall in love with the story like I did. Seriously. The second book finally has a cover, too, and it's so pretty!
This one is on my list of books to read, I just haven't gotten to it yet! But after this ringing endorsement, I think it will have to move up! I love characters that you can just really connect with, so I'm excited to get into this one!

ReplyDeleteI've heard about Angel Eyes, and I wasn't really sure if I was going to pick it up or not...but now I think I will! (:
ReplyDeleteI don't do reviews anymore, either. I just gush, so I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who does that, haha.
I'm SO excited for BROKEN WINGS, too, because ANGEL EYES was really an amazingly awesome read. I adored both Brielle and Jake, and yes, Shannon is a FAB writer!
ReplyDeleteBought the book based upon your post. I started it last night and am at page 213 as I write this. Thus far the book has exceeded all my expectations. Thanks for boosting it.
