"It really doesn't bother you, then? What I am?" 
 "Willow, all I care about is that you're you, and - and that you're with me. That's all that matters." 
 Angel Burn is the first installment in the Angel Trilogy and introduces us in Willow and Alex's world: a world full of angels, but not the good, selfless (and usually hot) ones we're used to drool over. These angels, or at least most of them, are life-eaters monsters who couldn't care less about humans' lives. They too have good looks, though, and that is one of the reasons why people worship them instead of avoiding them. Another reason is the Angel Burn: angel victims suffer first from dizziness and physical weakness and then, the more they're abused, the worse their health gets, until they die or remain highly incapacitated; during this "treatment", they are positive they're lucky to be chosen by the angels to receive their love. 
 In two words, angel victims are like drugged, helpless puppies that usually die in a matter of months. 
 And how do Willow and Alex fit in all this? 
 Alex is an AK - Angel Killer - that spends his days waiting for the text with the position of the next angel he's going to kill. Everything is well until he's ordered to kill the inhabitant of the house where he will find Willow: they'll soon discover she's half human, half angel, and probably the only weapon able to destroy the angels. 
 Will they be able to stop the angels before it's too late? And will they be able to do it together? 
 I'd read only one book about angels before Angel Burn and, whereas the first attempt was a disaster, I can say the second is surely a worth read. The concept of bad angels is intriguing and the author did a very good job with it, it's becoming more and more difficult to find something original and refreshing these days, so I welcomed the opportunity with open arms, and I wasn't disappointed. 
 The writing is sublime, it captivated me from the first pages and didn't let me go until the end. Although there wasn't much action, I enjoyed the slow parts immensely, especially the little vacation Alex and Willow take in the middle of the mountains to hide from the angels. 
 The romance was simple and incredibly sweet (sometimes maybe a bit too mushy), I love Alex and Willow as a couple and I can't wait to read how their story will go on. I didn't like very much the fact that they fell in love almost at the same time, I think one of the two could have suffered a little more. I loved Alex's voice, it was so clear and strong, and I hope there will be his POV also in the second book. 
 I'm looking forward to the second installment in the series and I'll be sure to buy a copy when the book gets out.
