Quick Summary
If you love a story where angels turn the world into a battlefield and a tough teenage girl has to outsmart both heaven and hell, "End of Days" will pull you in right away. The third book in Susan Ee's Fallen series picks up right after the angelic war erupts, and Penryn your sarcastic, resourceful heroine and the injured angel Raffe are still on a desperate mission to rescue her little sister and figure out what the angels really want. Fans of fast-paced action, dark humor, and a dash of romance will find that the plot hurtles forward with enough twists to keep you turning pages, while the occasional profanity and battle scenes give it a gritty edge that older teens can handle. The book also feels a bit like a mash-up of classic apocalyptic thrillers and modern YA fantasy, so if you liked the intensity of "The Hunger Games" or the angel-centric intrigue of "Mortal Instruments," you'll feel right at home. Parents should note that there's a fair amount of language and violence, but it's not gratuitous just enough to make the stakes feel real without crossing into horror territory.
