Source: Around the World ARC Tours

SUMMARY: [Goodreads / Amazon]

Your strength in heart and hand will fall. . . . Ellie knows that the darkest moments are still to come, and she has everything to fight for:

She must fight for Will.

The demonic have resorted to their cruelest weapons to put Will in mortal danger, and Ellie makes an unlikely alliance to save him and to stop Lilith and Sammael, who seek to drown the world in blood and tear a hole into Heaven.

She must fight for humanity.

As the armies of Hell rise and gather for the looming End of Days, Ellie and her band of allies travel to the world’s darkest and most ancient regions in her quest to come into her full glory as the archangel Gabriel.

And Ellie must save herself.

Her humanity withers beneath the weight of her cold archangel power, but Ellie must hold tight to who she is and who she loves as she prepares for the ultimate battle for Heaven and Earth.

In this final installment in the Angelfire trilogy, Courtney Allison Moulton brings her dark world of epic battles and blistering romance to a blazing bright conclusion

My Thought's (Lisseth):

Okay I will NOT LIE, when i got the ARC in the mail I was literally like this...

I had JUST finished reading Wings of the Wicked, and OMG that ending was KILLER! So I needed this like a mad woman. @_@

BLACK CITY by Elizabeth Richards!

PUB DATE:November 13, 2012

By: G.P. Putnam's Sons BYR

Pages: 384

* GoodReads * Pre-order Amazon

A dark and tender post-apocalyptic love story set in the aftermath of a bloody war.

In a city where humans and Darklings are now separated by a high wall and tensions between the two races still simmer after a terrible war, sixteen-year-olds Ash Fisher, a half-blood Darkling, and Natalie Buchanan, a human and the daughter of the Emissary, meet and do the unthinkable—they fall in love.

Bonded by a mysterious connection that causes Ash’s long-dormant heart to beat, Ash and Natalie first deny and then struggle to fight their forbidden feelings for each other, knowing if they’re caught, they’ll be executed—but their feelings are too strong.

When Ash and Natalie then find themselves at the center of a deadly conspiracy that threatens to pull the humans and Darklings back into war, they must make hard choices that could result in both their deaths.

Teaser #1:

The girl and the children begin an aggressive dance. She lashes out at the cat people.

The children fall down one by one—Zanthina is victorious. Everyone claps and cheers.

She bows. Her dark black eyes rest on me, and my heart falters.

She’s a twin-blood, like me.

--(Black City, Ash, page 213)

@_@, who is she? IDK, but this is Ash's POV, so YAY DUAL POV!!! Now to the next one. TEASER #2:

The Darklings move out of my way, giving me a proper view of the dying boy.

His neck and chest are slick with blood; his breathing is shallow and ragged.

I should be repulsed, but I’m not.

The sight excites me, and for once, I’m not scared to admit it.

--(Black City, Ash, page 216)

Well as you can see this week is ASH!! He sounds really complex because he doesn't know how to be about his nature. O_O

Teaser #1:

He growls, flashing his fangs.

I recoil, my mind bursting with images from the night Father died: fangs dripping with venom, a pool of dark blood, my father’s face contorted with pain.

I hear someone whimper and realize it’s me.

Ash steps back, alarmed. “I wasn’t going to bite you.”

--(Black City, Natalie, page 75)

Woah @_@, what is going on!!! Must be painful to love someone who's "supposed" to be your enemy. Now to the next one. TEASER #2:

We head through the maze of alleyways, getting turned around a few times until I’m not certain where we are.

As we approach a butcher’s stall, I stop dead.

Between the waving flags, I catch a glimpse of pale skin, rippling black hair and sparkling black eyes.

My heart yanks. Ash.

--(Black City, Natalie, page 114)

OMG!!! O_O ASH, is where?! In a butcher shop? @_@

Together, we slid down in the seat, away from prying eyes. I heard him sigh, felt the muscles in his relax.

"Was that for Tyler's benefit, or mine?" he asked, his voice a hoarse whisper.

"Take your pick," I answered coyly. But speaking silently inside my head, I told a different story. For you, I said. Always for you.(MIRAGE ARC, pages 151-152)

They are not.(E-ARC,Page 7)

Teaser #2:

"Thank you," I murmured, breathing in his scent, allowing myself to experience the full brunt of the Aidan effect.

"God, you smell so good."

"Better than Dr. Hottie?" Aidan asked huskily, one hand pressed into the small of my back, steadying me.

"Way better," I shot back, before I'd thought better of it. (MIRAGE ARC, page 65)

Instead he kissed her forehead tenderly and said,

"You beat me all those times,too, Lulu" (Rapture ARC,page 13-14)
