REVIEW: Strange Angels by Andrea Speed!!

"Death is the family business, and Brendan Connolly is about to come into his legacy. Nobody warned Bren that Dad was a death god, or that someday he’d inherit his powers. So far, falling in love with the angel sent to protect him has been the only good thing to come out of this whole mess.
Bren’s guardian angel, Lorygdarain, knows the aura of a ticking supernatural time bomb when he sees one. Add to that the angel’s first taste of the human emotion called love, and protecting Bren from the god who killed his father could be Dar’s hardest job in an eon.

Snakes, amnesia, and a mysterious god named Bob might not be much of a rescue plan, but one guardian angel can only do so much. With a veritable pantheon on his heels, and the universe hanging in the balance, Bren must learn to lock and load the most dangerous weapon of all: himself."


Unfortunately I did not love this book, though I did like it! Strange Angels by Andrea Speed was strange, but not in the best way, but again, it was good. Bren and Dar are assumingly in love, but I never really felt that or bought it. They had no chemistry and no real romantic scenes together, which I was put off by. I wanted a lot more romance between Bren and his god, but it did not happen. The book mainly focused on Bren going to different worlds on the run as they try to get rid of a bunch of crazed gods who want Bren dead. The book is about this and Bren learning to get abilities under control.

The book has loads of action which was awesome and some interesting and strange characters and good humor, but the book felt more like two friends who liked each other but where too afraid to admit rather than an actual couple and that was frustrating! I wanted more angst to go with the action, but no.. hopefully a sequel will provide this!

I do say, however, you should check it out! Its fun!
