About this listen
"She rose into the currents of icy air...."
A New York Times best seller and global sensation, Angelology unfurled a brilliant tapestry of myth and biblical lore on our present-day world and plunged two star-crossed heroes into an ancient battle against mankind's greatest enemy: the fatally attractive angel-human hybrids known as the Nephilim. With Angelopolis, the conflict deepens into an inferno of danger and passion unbound.
A decade has passed since Verlaine saw Evangeline alight from the Brooklyn Bridge, the sight of her new wings a betrayal that haunts him still. Now an elite angel hunter for the Society of Angelology, he pursues his mission with single-minded devotion: to capture, imprison, and eliminate her kind.
But when Evangeline suddenly appears on a twilit Paris street, Verlaine finds her nature to be unlike any of the other creatures he so mercilessly pursues, casting him into a spiral of doubt and confusion that only grows when she is abducted before his eyes by a creature who has topped the society's most-wanted list for more than a century. The ensuing chase drives Verlaine and his fellow angelologists from the shadows of the Eiffel Tower to the palaces of St. Petersburg and deep into the provinces of Siberia and the Black Sea coast, where the truth of Evangeline's origins - as well as forces that could restore or annihilate them all - lie in wait.
Conceived against an astonishing fresh tableau of history and science, Angelopolis plumbs Russia’s imperial past, modern genetics, and ancient depictions of that most potent angelic appearance - the Annunciation of Gabriel - in a high-octane tale of abduction, treasure seeking, and divine warfare as the fate of humanity once again hangs in the balance.

Disappointed and annoyed!
I LOVED Angelology. But since it’s been a long time in between books for me… I’m not sure whether my taste in writing has changed and I require my suspenseful mysteries to be more … realistic … or it’s something else…. But I doggedly continued to the end of this book hoping continuously that her writing would get better and it just didn’t. The readers performance was fantastic.. all the different nationalities were read to a tee and I commend that immensely. And overall the story of Angelopolis was a fantastic idea I wish I could’ve fallen in love with…. But the actual writing of the characters drove me bananas! Constantly making stupid and unrealistic decisions and I don’t know how many times one was in a major life or death situation and then all of the sudden all that is described in immense flowery detail, of the sunlight reflecting from windows and the smell of roses down the street (or something to that affect) Was absolutely bloody maddening! Just get on with it already and have the characters make good choices! Ahhhh lol. And the finale …. Well then you’re back to square one as in the beginning of the book with where the characters are at, and you are left wondering what the hell all the millions of tiny details you’ve spent 8 hours listening to in the most thorough of detail meant at all. I absolutely adored her first book! Signed up for her mailing list and have followed her online since….. and so I was really expecting to get completely lost in this book and yet, all I felt was annoyance! What’s wrong with me! Help! Haha :)
