Summary -
This debut, the first novel in a trilogy, is achingly romantic, terrifying, and filled with blistering action.
When seventeen-year-old Ellie starts seeing reapers - monstrous creatures who devour humans and send their souls to Hell - she finds herself on the front lines of a supernatural war between archangels and the Fallen and faced with the possible destruction of her soul.
A mysterious boy named Will reveals she is the reincarnation of an ancient warrior, the only one capable of wielding swords of angelfire to fight the reapers, and he is an immortal sworn to protect her in battle. Now that Ellie's powers have been awakened, a powerful reaper called Bastian has come forward to challenge her. He has employed a fierce assassin to eliminate her - an assassin who has already killed her once.
While balancing her dwindling social life and reaper-hunting duties, she and Will discover Bastian is searching for a dormant creature believed to be a true soul reaper. Bastian plans to use this weapon to ignite the End of Days and to destroy Ellie's soul, ending her rebirth cycle forever. Now, she must face an army of Bastian's most frightening reapers, prevent the soul reaper from consuming her soul, and uncover the secrets of her past lives - including truths that may be too frightening to remember.
Summary from GoodReads
Review - 'Angelfire' is a killer debut novel. Going in to this book I didn't know what to expect. All I knew is that it had to do with reapers which is pretty darn awesome, so I dived right in.
It's about a girl named Ellie and a guy named Will. Ellie is one of the best heroines I've ever read about, she is the reincarnation of an ancient warrior and every time she dies, she just gets born again. I just loved her, she was kinda amazing. Now, onto Will, I loved Will also. I think I loved every single character in 'Angelfire'. They were all so amazing!
The story was just so original! Have you ever heard of a book about reapers? I know I hadn't before 'Angelfire'. The plot will keep you on the edge of your seat. The action in the book was just enough to grasp the attention of the male audience, while the romance will keep the females attention.
The writing for me wasn't anything special, but when the writing didn't keep my attention the plot and characters did.
I will most definitely be picking up anything else Moulton writes, and so should all of you 'cause it's truly amazing awesomeness. Mostly.
