It's getting louder...

Book 15 - A book by a female author

 

crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick

 

You may be sitting around thinking to yourself, "hey, I've heard of that author before."

If you have only come across such an author through this blog; then I commend you on your ability to keep reading something that sometimes drones on and on with no end in sight even as the reader has clearly already lost their place and is looking for a way to escape the inevitable end which will most certainly be present and possibly the most horrible of endings ever discovered in the history of ever.

Just remember, you are spectacular if you chose to read every post in such a blog. I'm not sure I would ever go back and read through every single post I've ever written. The thought is rather unexciting and I'm sure I would become bored far sooner than entertained.

Back to the author. If you return to the post of January 31 a.k.a. Book 4, you will note my review of the first book in this series.

Yes, I had to reread it. It was difficult, but I persevered.

As the first book was gifted to me by my very best, and rather only friend, M, the second installment was also given by said very best, and rather only friend, M. Although, this time it was not a Christmas gift, instead a valentine's day gift. As we are both single and don't have any other friends, we were each other's valentine's.

On to the novel! As if the last novel didn't have enough angels; in this one, we are constantly visited by the main characters guardian angel and a few Nephilim, who are just up to no good. (If you really need to know what Nephilim are, you should probably sit yourself down with this novel. But read the first one first. Seriously though, it'll make a lot more sense.) On top of all this angel talk, we are constantly reminded of the presence of the archangels. Only the already-read will know of their true existence. (No spoilers here!)

The love story as shown in the first novel hovers over the entire story, but doesn't interfere nearly as much. I felt that this was helpful for us, as readers, to really get to know the main character. She is not only stubborn and a little OCD, she also likes to do the one thing that she has been told not to. This isn't referring to one specific thing, but rather any restricted area becomes an unhealthy obsession.

I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. There were many "sitting on the edge of my seat" moments, which are always my favourite. It doesn't help that the ending was a very large cliff-hanger.

I would really like to get in my little Mini and drive to Chapters to purchase the next two novels in the series. Who needs to wait for shipping and handling when I can pick them off the shelf and handle them with care? Alas, we must practice what is often referred to as self-control. We don't like it, but it is necessary.
