I got this book a couple of weeks ago, and I'm still quite excited about it. See, I won a preview/proof copy of it, since it isn't released here in Englandland until October the 29th, or November sometime according to the back of the book.

So I am here to recommend it. It's about fallen angels and Nephilim (I googled it, too :D ), and although for the first 1/4 of the story or so it's rather similar to a certain book (darest I name it?) it makes up for this in the rest, as it runs away in the opposite direction. Patch, the boy, is much more realistic than dear Edward, as while he's dangerous and dark and etc etc, he is also just a teenage boy - so there are plenty of hilarious innuendoes. There are also more curious characters and other goings on that I definitely did NOT expect, and this is what kept me reading until gone 11pm (on two consecutive school nights) because I couldn't bring myself to stop.

I've attatched a picture I took of it when it arrived (she says, grinning as she remembers that day) and here is a link to it on my favourite book shop's website: http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesw ... ku=6780766

If you liked Twilight, Patrick Ness' The Knife of Never Letting Go or Triskellion by Will Peterson, I reckon you'll like this. I don't think it's just a book for girls, either.

Wow. I really am forward to read it. There's only a problem and that is... in my country it hasn't arrived yet...
Scipio: Do you know what happens here after dark? Things little eyes should never, ever see.
Bo: We're not scared.
Scipio: Not scared? Well, aren't you the little tiger? RAWR!



Your hesitation suggests you are trying to protect my feelings. However, since I have none, I would prefer you to be honest. An artist's growth depends upon accurate feedback.
