Review: World After (Penryn & the End of Days #2) by Susan Ee

When I had read the first book, Angelfall, I hadn't meant to go on to the next installment right away, I had been planning to read something else and then some time later I read the next book. I don't know why, it just hadn't made me want more desperately. However after that ending I didn't have much of a choice. Not like I minded it. Not at all.

Review: Angelfall (Penryn & the End of Days #1) by Susan Ee

After Panic, I was starving for a splendid paranormal story, something that is well-written, and thrilling, so thus I picked out a few books from my to-read list and put them into a read-next order. Apparently this ended up being the first, and it turned out to be a good choice.

Synopsis:


It's been six weeks since angels of the apocalypse descended to demolish the modern world. Street gangs rule the day while fear and superstition rule the night. When warrior angels fly away with a helpless little girl, her seventeen-year-old sister Penryn will do anything to get her back.

Anything, including making a deal with an enemy angel.

Raffe is a warrior who lies broken and wingless on the street. After eons of fighting his own battles, he finds himself being rescued from a desperate situation by a half-starved teenage girl.

Traveling through a dark and twisted Northern California, they have only each other to rely on for survival. Together, they journey toward the angels' stronghold in San Francisco where she'll risk everything to rescue her sister and he'll put himself at the mercy of his greatest enemies for the chance to be made whole again.
