When I read Angelfire in December, I was blown away by it's well thought out world and engaging storyline. It's a different take on Angel-Demon Mythology and Hanna Peach doesn't disappoint with Angelstone. I loved it! It is such a great addition to the series.Angelstone picks up days after the first one left off. Alyx is still training is Jordan and strengthening her Dreamwalker abilities. She has broken up with Israel because he wouldn't let go of the thought of saving his ex-girlfriend and Alyx doesn't want him hanging in the middle. She, along with Isreal and the little girl, Mini, are settled in the new rogue (FreeThinkers) hideout and are planning to solve the issue concerning Black stone. Robberies are happening around the world and the black stone seems to be the only thing missing from those places. On top of that, Samyara is planning something huge with his army and he wants the Blood Prophecy to take place soon. NEWSFLASH! Samyara is a dude! I always pictured him as a lady because it's a feminine name and I can't believe I didn't pick up on it in the first book. That was one shocker and I still have a hard time picturing him as a male. Yikes!In Angelfire, we were left off with the question-Is Alyx pregnant? I seriously thought the answer was yes, seeing that she was so freaking hormonal in this book. I love Israel, but he may not feel the same way. Jordan is nice and his kisses are great, BUT I love Israel. Shut Up! I was so frustrated with the love triangle, these are the types I don't like. The constant back and forth is really annoying and I don't know what happened to that strong, confident Alyx I loved. She's still smart but I want her head in the game instead of figuring out who she loves the most. I'd pick Jordan because he's mature and smart, but that's just me always picking the other guy.Angelstone was highly addicting (devoured it within a day!), the writing was beautiful, the story was action-packed and the ending was killer. I want to know what happens next! I'm not a fan of cliff-hangers, I need the next book already! Fans of Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instrumemts series who enjoy high fantasy novel with great storyline will love Dark Angel series.
