In a world where angels are beyond redemption, Alex thinks he’s found one that might deserve mercy…
Long hair, pixie‐like features, purple Converse and a unique boho style. Willow may look like any other
teenager but she is no ordinary girl. Half‐angel, half‐human, Willow may hold the key to defeating the
angels; beautiful but fierce beings that feed off a human's life‐force. But Alex is a ruthless assassin ‐ of
angels. As far as he is concerned, the only good angel is a dead angel...until he meets Willow.
As they embark on an epic and dangerous journey, Willow learns the dark and terrifying secrets of her
past, and Alex finds himself drawn to Willow...with devastating consequences.
Teen readers will be absorbed by this thrilling new novel, switching effortlessly as it does between fast‐
paced action‐adventure and heart‐stopping romance.
The Angel trilogy by L.A. Weatherly has featured in The Observer in an article entitled; ‘Host of books appear as
angels become theme of new teenage reading cult’. The Independent also reported on the trilogy in an article
called; ‘We're loving angels instead: Publishing craze goes celestial’: “These angels appear as normal angels but
they are very dark. A bit like vampires. But instead of sucking blood they suck human energy and life force, which
they need to survive.”
