Wings of the Wicked - (Angelfire) by Courtney Allison Moulton (Paperback)

About the Book

Seventeen-year-old Ellie, who has the reincarnated soul of an ancient reaper-slayer, falls in love with her immortal guardian angel, Will, while fighting monstrous creatures who devour humans and send their souls to Hell.

From the Back Cover

She's been warned of the dangers. But she'll be betrayed.

Balancing real life with the responsibility of being Heaven's warrior is harder than Ellie ever imagined. Her relationship with Will has become all business, though they long for each other. When Cadan comes to her with information of Bastian's new plan to destroy Ellie's soul and to unleash war against all of humanity, she fights to stay ahead of the reapers, even as the revelations of those closest to her awaken a dark power within Ellie that threatens to destroy everything--including herself.

Treachery comes even from those whom she loves, and Ellie is broken by the deaths of those who stood beside her in this Heavenly war. Still, she must find a way to save the world, herself, and her love for Will. If she fails, there will be hell to pay.

Review Quotes

"This is one heroine who's happy to take matters (and angelic swords) into her own hands." - Publishers Weekly
"The action scenes have enough intensity and adrenaline to send Buffy home hanging her head in shame, and Ellie is likable both as a high-octane heroine and a regular girl coping with family and social drama. The Biblical mythology the story is based upon is compelling, and, of course, the sword-fighting and butt-kicking make this a ride worth taking." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
