About this ebook

They’re out for your soul . . . and they don’t have heaven in mind. (Age 14 and up)

Willow knows she’s different from other girls, and not just because she loves tinkering with cars. Willow has a gift. She can look into the future and know people’s dreams and hopes, their sorrows and regrets, just by touching them. She has no idea where this power comes from. But the assassin, Alex, does. Gorgeous, mysterious Alex knows more about Willow than Willow herself. He knows that her powers link to dark and dangerous forces, and that he’s one of the few humans left who can fight them. When Alex finds himself falling in love with his sworn enemy, he discovers that nothing is as it seems, least of all good and evil. In the first book in an action-packed, romantic trilogy, L..A. Weatherly sends readers on a thrill-ride of a road trip - and depicts the human race at the brink of a future as catastrophic as it is deceptively beautiful.

Ratings and reviews

Absolutely amazing, loved every second of this book. Of one the few times where I've said I haven't been able to put it down and actually meant it.

To be honest I gave up on books when I was I kid. I was randomly at a library a few years back. I was using the wifi to play games, then saw this book. Felt like it was calling to me, read the first few pages and didnt let it go. I'm not atheist but I liked the idea of evil Angel's and the bit of sacrilegious comedy. I never been a fan of romance genre, but this book hit different;)

I loved this book, the characters were so real. I feel like maybe they actually are out there fighting angels.

About the author

L. A. Weatherly is the author of several books for young adults, including Child X. About Angel Burn, she says, “I’ve known Alex for a long time. He first came to me as a character almost twenty years ago, when he was a thief in a fantasy setting — an expert with knives rather than guns. Nothing came of that particular novel, but Alex always stayed with me. He refused to go away, in fact! And over the years, I began to wonder about redoing his story completely and placing him in a contemporary setting.” L. A. Weatherly was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, and now lives in England.
