BLOG TOUR # 28 - ANGEL EYES by SHANNON DITTEMORE - ANGEL EYES TRILOGY # 1



On my stop today I have my review of Angel Eyes. 
I hope you enjoy:)



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.

BOOK REVIEW by Michelle :

I really enjoyed Shannon's Angel tale and look forward to reading more with the evil Damien.

I am all the way Team Jake. He is a gorgeous character. Human and a healer. I enjoyed the chemistry between Jake and our fragile female lead, Brielle.

Brielle is carrying a lot of pain on her shoulders, her friend Ali murdered three weeks prior. She has come home to Stratus , her hometown which holds another kind of pain. Her father is a lumberjack, her mother died of cancer when she was young. She sometimes counts things, it helps her. 

There was a scene that I really loved, quite early into the book. Brielle was doing a dance in the ballet studio and a boy was watching her. I loved he huffed on the window and wrote 'sorry'. 

This book is told from several POV's. Which I enjoyed. I really like Canaan, Jake's legal guardian.

Damien is a very spontaneous evil guy. He just lashes out and does what he feels will get him the instant attention he needs to resume his evil path. He does not like losing or coming second place. When he has his mind set on somebody, he gets his minions on the job.

I did love the way Shannon described the Celestial through the eyes of those that could see it. I am a sucker for a nice set of wings and certain characters have beautifully described wings. ( I know I am being coy or else it gives too much away )

Jake and Brielle become hot commodities and need to stay one step ahead of Damien and his minions.

There is a continual thread of mystery that is woven through the plot. Some things I could see on the horizon and some not. 

The character's are all interwoven with Damien's master plan at the helm. But will he succeed?

I do love the cover of this book it has a lot of meaning to the story . I have not read a lot of angel books. None like this one. I am more Becca Fitzpatrick's Hush, Hush series. I look forward to the sequel.
