Angel Eyes by Shannon Dittemore, is about a girl named
Brielle who has just returned home from school after experiencing a tragedy.
Her best friend was killed and she considers it to be her fault, that she could
have prevented it. When she goes back to school in her hometown, she meets a
mysterious boy named Jake who opens her eyes to a world that she did not
realize existed.
I thought that this was a very well-written book. I found
the story line very intriguing and it definitely kept my interest. I always
like to read books that are about how angels and demons actually exist and are
locked in a spiritual battle. I thought that this book had a very interesting
take on spiritual warfare. ***spoiler alert***The one thing that I didn’t
really like about the book was that the author didn’t seem to make a big deal
about Ali being a unwed, pregnant teenager. It almost seemed accepting about it
since she and Marco were planning on getting married. I know that Ali was not a
Christian and that is probably why it wasn’t made more of, but when Brielle
talked about seeing her in heaven one day, Jake said that was between her and
God and left it at that. For a book geared toward teenagers, I would have liked
to have seen more said about it and how it wasn’t right.
Overall, though, I thought this was a great book and I can’t
wait to read the next one.
I received this book from Booksneeze in exchange for my
review. I was not obligated to write a favorable review.
