Naomi's Reading Palace: Review ~ Angelsong by Hanna Peach

Title: Angelsong

Author: Hanna Peach

Series: Dark Angel #3

Genre: Urban Fantasy/Paranormal

Published: October 18^th 2013

Israel lies dying from a poisoned knife wound. To save him, Alyx needs Mayrekk’s help and the knowledge contained within the Threads of Dark.

But Mayrekk remains imprisoned in Michaelea, being punished for his hand in Alyx’s escape, and Michael himself guards the key to Mayrekk’s freedom. And the Threads of Dark is kept within a secret chamber deep under the Archives of Urielos, a Seraphim city clinging to cliffs somewhere along the coast of Italy. Even if Alyx does manage to find a way into the city, the chamber is guarded by ancient riddles and deadly traps.

Can Alyx rescue Mayrekk and retrieve the Threads of Dark before Israel slips away?

What can I say but wow!! The previous books were great, but I loved Angelsong, so much so, that I would say that it is my favourite!! I was immersed into the gripping, action packed storyline from start to finish, and I just couldn’t pull myself away from it.

Alyx and Jordan are on a mission to save Isaiah by rescuing Mayrekk from Michael. They face a lot of obstacles on the way and do so with banter and humour, but they are constantly looking out for one another. The connection that they already have strengthens and at times you could cut the sexual tension with a knife. Don’t get me wrong… Isaiah is Alyx’s priority, but something happened to her that shifts her thinking (which I won’t tell you about), so that she can get the job done and I think it was a very well planned idea on the authors’ part. Jordan I absolutely adore! My heart goes out to him and he says some of the sweetest things in this book. There is so much I want to say about it, but they would be spoilers for sure!!

Now even with all this action, there are a number of tests thrown in for Alyx and Jordan which I found exciting. They were do-or-die scenarios and I thought the author did a remarkable job of plotting it all together. They were clever and well thought out games that I enjoyed watching, as the characters put their trust into one another to figure it all out.

Angelsong was remarkable… to put it simply. It has everything I love from the paranormal world: angels, demons and mortals. We travel to numerous destinations and into the dreamscape. A lot of the things that we have learned from previous books are rolled into this book too, and even though it has been a little while since I have read the other books in the series, I was able to grasp everything with ease. In my opinion, I think that Hanna has grown so much as an author, through Angelfire, Angelstone and Angelsong. Although… she always leaves the book open so I want more!! I can’t wait to get my hands on Angelblood next year, to see where things go now…

I received a copy of this book from the Author in exchange for an honest review.

“I write about fantastical things, especially creatures with fangs, magic or wings. I want to tell you tales that will rip away the glamor from your life, keep you running and fighting and gasping long past the devil’s hour and maybe, just maybe, reality will look a little bit different when you return. Sit with me around this witchlight. Let me tell you a story.”

At the beginning of 2013, Hanna left her "respectable" career, packed up her life and sold everything except for what fit in a suitcase to write full-time writer and travel the world. Even she thinks that she is a little crazy sometimes.

Hanna Peach is the author of Angelfire and Angelstone, book’s 1 and 2 of the Dark Angel series. Angelsong, (Dark Angel #3) is due for publication on 20 October 2013 and Angeldark (Dark Angel #4) is due early 2014.
