Angelfall
He kisses me with the desperation of a dying man who believes the magic of eternal life is in this kiss
One of Time Magazine‘s 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time
It’s been six weeks since angels of the apocalypse destroyed the world as we know it.
Street gangs rule the day while fear runs the night. When warrior angels capture a helpless little girl, her seventeen-year-old sister, Penryn, will do anything to save her. Even if that means making a deal with an injured enemy angel, Raffe.
Travelling through a dark and twisted landscape, the journey towards the angels’ stronghold is dangerous. But with her sister’s life on the line, and Raffe wanting to be made whole again – their greatest enemies might be the only answer.

An explosive, pulse-pounding journey . . . A frickin' fantastic read.
Completely enthralling . . . It deserves to be a hit.
The new Young Adult fantasy phenomenon.
A fantastic combination of action, horror and romance... a thrill to read.
I hung onto every word,... If you love witty banter, a dangerous apocalypse, and a cling-on-to-your-seat plot, then why haven't you read Angelfall yet?
More explicit, vivid, gritty and evocative than any book I've read for a long time... Both horrifying and spellbinding; I've not come across any authors with Susan Ee's unique storytelling method before... It's a book that defies the labels and boundaries of its genre, and a wonderfully spine-chilling read.
It's rare to read a book that is intoxicating that it is all you can think of... Angelfall is one of those books. It's so full of danger, blood, anger, despair and lust... Susan Ee really has created something of a masterpiece. It truly is a flawless debut worth every bit of hype and then some!
I'm so happy that I decided to pick up Angelfall! I was immediately sucked into the world and I'd stay up late reading long into the night promising myself just one more chapter which would inevitably turn into several more.... Penryn has quickly become one of my favourite heroines and Raffe one of my favourite book boys... Angelfall has such a cinematic feel to it that I could vividly picture everything in my mind making it easy to absorb myself in this gritty and harrowing world. I can't believe I waited so long to read this absolute gem of a novel but I am glad that I now don't have long to wait for the sequel!
