Review: Great potential but no follow through.

Okay, so I really wanted to fall head over heels in love with this book, but it just didn't happen. I loved the concept b/c I'm completely into any stories about fallen angels, the battle between good & evil, light & dark etc., so this was definitely right up my alley. The writing itself was thorough  and very descriptive, not bad by any means, but there was no real action or climax in the story. It progressed at a decent pace but I don't feel that it actually led up to anything. It was more documentary style than book friendly. The potential was definitely there, but it just didn't follow through. I didn't feel a connection to any of the characters. The relationships weren't believable and were extremely rushed. Now I love books that include a "history" lesson, but this one had such a strong biblical background that the sex scenes just seemed so wrong and totally out of place therefore not doing a thing for me. It was actually kind of awkward. I'm guessing I have the "Adult Version", so maybe the "YA Version" is less awkward but I can't imagine the story line changes much. I hate to say it but I just wasn't buying anything that was going on in this novel. I really didn't enjoy it and can't say that I would recommend it to anyone.
