Angelfire

What
if the nightmares were real?
Ellie Monroe has enough problems to deal with at home without dreaming
about monsters. Unfortunately, her dreams are now reality as Ellie is
the Preliator, a reincarnated warrior who fights the reapers. Will is
her Guardian, determined to keep her safe while helping her remember
her past. Something has changed, though, as Ellie’s rebirth took longer
than ever before and her memories of her past lives aren’t returning.
Meanwhile, the forces of evil are gathering and developing a plan, a
plan that could lead to the Apocalypse. Can Ellie and Will stop them in
time?
ANGELFIRE starts off slowly but quickly picks up speed. The character
development is superb, as we learn about Ellie’s past and her position
as Preliator right along with Ellie. Ellie is more than a bit spoiled-
after all, she receives an Audi as a present for her birthday- but she
is quite likable despite this. The family issues she has to deal with
add a sense of realism to a plot populated with monsters, angels, and
talk of the Apocalypse. I don’t want to reveal spoilers but I’m hoping
the author settles a lingering question I have about Ellie’s family in
one of the next two books in this trilogy.
The world building is intriguing, particularly the ongoing battles
occurring and the chance of an impending apocalypse. The action scenes
are intense as Courtney Allison Moulton does a great job at creating
tension in each scene. I’m looking forward to the next book in the
series to see just how things turn out in this world. Bravo!
