Immortal City by: Scott Speer





Official Book Summary:
Jackson Godspeed is the hottest young Angel in a city filled with them. He's days away from becoming a full Guardian, and people around the world are already competing for the chance to be watched over by him. Everyone's obsessed with the Angels and the lucky people they protect - everyone except for Madison Montgomery.

Maddy's the one girl in Angel City who doesn't breathlessly follow the Angels on TV and gossip blogs. When she meets Jackson, she doesn't recognize him. But Jackson is instantly captivated by her, and against all odds the two fall in love.

Maddy is swiftly caught up in Jackson's scene, a world of glamour, paparazzi - and murder. A serial killer is on the loose, leaving dead Angels' wings for the police to find on the Walk of Fame. Even the Guardians are powerless to protect themselves in the face of this threat … and this time it's up to Maddy to save Jackson.
Reviews:
"Strong writing, well-rounded characters, and an enticing hook [of] mercenary/celebutante angels breathe life into the world Speer has created."--(Publishers Weekly )

"An intriguing premise...with an action-oriented mystery sure to entice readers."--(Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) 

       When I first saw the book in Barnes and Nobles, I admit it...it didn't even catch my attention. I have read several angel books so I thought it would be cliché. But as i scrolled down the iTunes Store, I saw it again, and with just a pinch of skepticism I downloaded a sample. Holy Cow! Did I regret not buying the book sooner! Within the first few pages, I was hooked! 
     Trust me when I says that out of the hundreds of books I have read, only a handful have such a unique plot line as this one! At the end of each page you can't help but to want to read more. The twist and turns in the plot line keep you guessing throughout the whole book up until the very end.
