Book Review: Starfire Angels by Melanie Nilles
Title: Starfire Angels
Stand Alone or Series: Series–this is the first in a series
How I got this book: From the author
Why I chose this book: I love to read about angels, and as soon as I heard about this book, I knew that I had to check it out!
Synopsis:
Raea is now a high school senior, and her life as a human is about to end. The crystal shard she bears is not a pretty pendant; it’s a collective of powerful entities who chose her as their Keeper, a protector of one of the four shards that power a machine capable of destroying whole worlds. Those who desire the Starfire’s power have sent an agent to find her, but she’s too busy evading a nosy reporter ready to exploit her secret and dating a hot new foreign student to notice. Nevermind learning what she really is.
Only one person on Earth can help her, the last person she ever expected. But he’s not from Earth. Life as a human would be so much easier.
ethereal being. They just have something extra. (Or so I think.) But with that brings the problem that many writers write about angels, and the plots tend to be the same. But let me tell you, Starfire Angels showed an originality that you will not want to miss.

Thanks for this! I am super interested in books featuring angel mythologies right now, and I agree quite a few of the angel plots are the same. Some authors like Cassandra Clare do use angels in unique ways (I've also found that the more adult the angels are the more unique their stories become), but I will def keep an eye out for this one!

I enjoyed Starfire Angels, and I like Broken Wings even more. It continues the story about Raea, the Crystal Keeper of a shard that could become deadly, if put into the wrong hands. And, unfortunately for Raea, the enemies are out to do whatever they have to in order to take that shard.
