Immortal City
Patch, Daniel and now Jacks. What is it about Angel boys? Their glorious wings, charming personalities, or the ability to fly you over cities while batting their Angel eyelashes at you? Jackson Godspeed is the most famous Angel in the Immortal City- the City of Angels- Los Angeles. He is about to become a Guardian Angel- an angel that sells his services to those who can afford it. Society is obsessed with Angels, twenty-four hour news feeds, networks dedicated to the Angels, blogs, tweets, etc. Maddy is a waitress. She couldn't care less about the Angels and their doings. When Jacks needs to hide in her diner, Maddy feels an electric connection to him. She is disgusted with herself as she really can't stand the commercialism of the Angels. But the heart wants what the heart wants and she finds herself drawn to situations involving Jacks. He maybe isn't as shallow as she thinks he may be. Of course, Maddy isn't what she thinks she is either. I loved this book. It had a great commentary on our society and who we choose to worship. It also posed the question- why are only those who can afford it saved? Isn't everyone worthy of having a Guardian Angel? I loved Maddy- strong, smart, and stubborn. When a Dark Angel starts killing the Immortals, Maddy must find a way to save Jacks. Love me a good Angel book and this one is at the top of the pile. Couldn't put it down and didn't want it to end. Looking forward to more in a sequel? What do you think Scott Speer? Could you get a move on with that? I think I need to hook up with Jace now, he's been gone awhile. Happy Reading my friends.
