Summary:
It has been 6 weeks since the angels destroyed the world as we knew it. Cannibals and human gangs threaten during the daytime, while almost no one dares to step outside during the night.
Penryn and her mother and sister are out one night when they see a group of angels attacking another angel. Penryn is soon spotted, and as her mother runs and her sister tries to wheel her wheelchair up the road, Penryn tries to distract the angels by giving the wounded angel back his sword.
And as punishment, Paige is taken.
And her sister will do anything to get her back, even making a deal with Raffe, the angel she handed the sword to. Raffe will do anything for his wings back, even helping a teenage girl go into his greatest enemies.

What I Thought:
This book was amazing. Penryn was such a strong lead character. She was willing to risk everything and anything to find Paige and return her home. Raffe was so difficult to work with at the beginning of the book, I probably would have given up on getting his help. But Penryn didn't and eventually, Raffe agreed to help her, which I thought was awesome. While this book was a dystiopian, it stood out in the over crowded washed out genre. It was dark, twisted, funny, and romantic, and I loved every second of it. I highly recommend this book
