Not Your Mother's Angel

Just finished reading Danielle Trussoni's Angelology. Who knew they had a dark side? Yes, I know English majors will bring up Paradise Lost-Satan and all his rabble rouser friends, but they are small potatoes compared to the new crowd Trussoni is introducing to us. The Watchers and their offspring the Nephilim have been living among us for thousands of years and believe it or not, they don't have our best interests at heart. Interesting parallels to the TV series V if you want to compare angels to aliens. Trussoni has an intriguing story that bogs down in the middle from a lot of backstory then picks up the pace again for a rousing finish. My only complaint with Angelology is that it actually did not finish. She left it wide open for another story. I can see her guiding Angelology into a multi-volume apocalyptic saga. You can visit her website at www.angelologist.com/ and sign up for angelological academy's amateur course of study, view photos, and consult books from the academy's archives.
