This book was okay. I've definitely read better and I honestly expected more from it considering the way it began with the kind of oomph you only get from eating a raw chilli. But, after the first two chapters, it cooled off - consider the rest of the book a cucumber overdose. I finished it because I just kept hoping it would improve. It's like people who get addicted to buying Lotto tickets. They know they'd have more money now if they'd saved the cash and dodged the purchase, but they keep buying because you just never know - maybe this is the day they'll win. The ending of this book was that feeling they get when they check their lotto ticket right after the draw and realise they're just plain old work-a-holics like the rest of the world for another week. Utterly depressing.
Honestly, the premise was good. A fallen angel realises he doesn't get to be human just because he's fallen, so he hunts for the right person to kill that will turn him into a human. He begins the search hundreds of years in the past and when the right human is born, in present time, sadly they fall in love, blah blah blah - get it?
Not the best book ever. If I could go back in time and stop myself from buying it I probably would - or I'd dodge the old me at the bookstore and just buy a ticket with last weekends winning lotto numbers and be living the gold encrusted dream...
