Angelopolis (Angelology #2)
by DanielleTrussoni
published by Viking Adult
expected release date: March 26, 2013
genre: Fantasy, Adult, Paranormal

Summary (Goodreads): She rose into the currents of icy air . . .”

A New York Times bestseller and global sensation, Angelology unfurled a brilliant tapestry of myth and biblical lore on our present-day world and plunged two star-crossed heroes into an ancient battle against mankind’s greatest enemy: the fatally attractive angel-human hybrids known as the Nephilim. With Angelopolis, the conflict deepens into an inferno of danger and passion unbound.

A decade has passed since Verlaine saw Evangeline alight from the Brooklyn Bridge, the sight of her new wings a betrayal that haunts him still. Now an elite angel hunter for the Society of Angelology, he pursues his mission with single-minded devotion: to capture, imprison, and eliminate her kind.

But when Evangeline suddenly appears on a twilit Paris street, Verlaine finds her nature to be unlike any of the other creatures he so mercilessly pursues, casting him into a spiral of doubt and confusion that only grows when she is abducted before his eyes by a creature who has topped the society’s most-wanted list for more than a century. The ensuing chase drives Verlaine and his fellow angelologists from the shadows of the Eiffel Tower to the palaces of St. Petersburg and deep into the provinces of Siberia and the Black Sea coast, where the truth of Evangeline’s origins—as well as forces that could restore or annihilate them all—lie in wait.

Conceived against an astonishing fresh tableau of history and science, Angelopolis plumbs Russia’s imperial past, modern genetics, and ancient depictions of that most potent angelic appearance—the Annunciation of Gabriel—in a high-octane tale of abduction, treasure seeking, and divine warfare as the fate of humanity once again hangs in the balance.

** I enjoyed the first book in this series and cannot wait for this to come out.

Book Review

Angelology
By Danielle Trussoni

Goodreads Summary
A thrilling epic about an ancient clash reignited in our time- between a hidden society and heaven's darkest creatures

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them.
Genesis 6:5

Dislikes: Not many. This book is in 4 parts (present, past, present, present). There were times during the second part that I found myself wanting to jump ahead to the expedition that you knew was coming from the first part. While the information leading up to it was useful and helped understand the characters and actions taken later in the book it was an overload at times.

Likes: The character and world building were well done. Instead of having a large info dump at the beginning of the book and then moving forward with the story, as sometimes happens, the information was a part of moving the story forward. I also liked how in this book you knew who was playing evil in this good vs. evil. The Nephilim in this book are evil from beginning to end and never give any reason to think they may have redeeming qualities.

Overall: I Loved this book. It was a great read filled with suspense, angels, history, and great characters that you could love and characters to hate.

Rating: 4
