The End is Here: Shadows in the Silence by Courtney Allison Moulton

Angelfire Read-Along: Week 7 Recap + Trivia Quiz | #ReaditandReap

So, was this week not totally crazy or what? We are *this* close to the end of Wings of the Wicked that if this past week for Ellie and crew wasn't crazy, then the fact that book two is almost over, is. Actually, chapters #18-25 are so crazy (so crazy that you just couldn't take it) that you probably finished the book by now and is impatiently awaiting January 29th. ;)

Speaking of the end, as we all know, Shadows in the Silence is the last book in this trilogy. Because of that, CAM will be having a release day launch party in celebration of.

You guys have no idea how badly I wish I could attend this par-tay. I mean, I'm like a huge, huge, huuuuuuuge fan of this series and this author that it's such a shame I can't -- well, more like I won't be able to -- attend. For one, I've never traveled five states (how far is michigan from cali, anyway?) away from my home state. Like ever. Secondly, I've never been on an airplane (i frickin' know, right?!). Lastly, I've never traveled by myself... not that I would have to travel by myself or anything but anyway, you see what I'm saying?

I've asked my sisters: If I wanted to go to Michigan, would you help me get there? Their responses: For what? Me: Well duuuuuh, a book signing, what else?! Their responses: OF COURSE.

And no, not "Of course, then! Let's get your airplane ticket ready!" More like, "Of course, you would go outta state for a signing!" Anyway, because there's a slim chance to zilch that I'll be there that night, what's to say you -- yes, you reading this screen -- can't attend? So, this is me passing on the information, the deets, the 411.

Angelfire Read-Along Week Six: Chapters #9-17 Discussion Post | #ReaditandReap

Hello, Little Reapers! Welcome back to the sixth week of the Angelfire Read-Along. We are well into Wings of the Wicked, book two in the series. I was just bookmarking my copy earlier and found out that chapters one through seventeen make up a huge half of the book, more than half, actually. Speaking of half, that means we are almost through this month which also means that this read-along is almost at its end. Oh my sweet goodness, that also means that Shadows in the Silence is that much closer to being in my hands. Aah, talk about freaking the freak out!

Hey, fun tidbit for you guys. On the same exact day that Shadows in the Silence hits stores (1/29), the paperback of Wings of the Wicked (with all these super duper sweet extras) will be releasing as well. Talk about a double win! I mean, this might not be such a big deal to those of you who already own the hardcover copy of book two, but I'm just freaking out because I have like... every version of the books in this series so I so seriously cannot wait.

There were shadows in this alley that no light touched, and where there was no light, anything could hide.

At the end of the fourteenth century, angelic reapers struggle to defend London against a legion of the demonic who have their sights set on claiming human souls and ancient relics for a dark purpose. Madeleine, a young but powerful warrior, is duty-bound to fight the demonic, and she lives for this pursuit above all else. Then, on a routine night of tracking, she is ambushed by a cadre of reapers and, though she defeats them all, she is left wounded and at the mercy of their lord, the notorious Bastian.

Madeleine is astonished when Bastian lets her live. She goes deeper into the world of the demonic and is shocked to meet him again-this powerful reaper whose touch makes her restless and gives her a thrill unlike anything else. When they fall into a dangerous clandestine affair, her head and her heart must wage their war: can their love overcome his demonic nature? Will her dance with darkness burn her or bring Bastian into the light?

With scorching romance and fantastic action, this original novella is a prequel to Courtney Allison Moulton's gripping and epic Angelfire series.

Angelfire Read-Along: Week 1 Recap + Trivia Quiz | #ReaditandReap

Welcome to the end of the first week of the Angelfire Read-Along! It was so exciting and thrilling to return to Ellie's world. I've never actually re-read a book from beginning to end so I'm especially stoked that Angelfire will be my very first.

First there are nightmares.
Every night Ellie is haunted by terrifying dreams of monstrous creatures that are hunting her, killing her.

Then come the memories.
When Ellie meets Will, she feels on the verge of remembering something just beyond her grasp. His attention is intense and romantic, and Ellie feels like her soul has known him for centuries. On her seventeenth birthday, on a dark street at midnight, Will awakens Ellie's power, and she knows that she can fight the creatures that stalk her in the grim darkness. Only Will holds the key to Ellie's memories, whole lifetimes of them, and when she looks at him, she can no longer pretend anything was just a dream.

Now she must hunt.
Ellie has power that no one can match, and her role is to hunt and kill the reapers that prey on human souls. But in order to survive the dangerous and ancient battle of the angels and the Fallen, she must also hunt for the secrets of her past lives and truths that may be too frightening to remember.

Angelfire Read-Along Introduction + Sign-Ups | #ReaditandReap

Today's post is one of the very many that you'll be seeing from now until Shadows in the Silence hits bookstores on January 29, 2013. I am a huge fan of the Angelfire series by Courtney Allison Moulton and I am terribly heartbroken over the fact that it's all coming to an end very soon... but that very reason is exactly why this calls for an all out boom-sha-ka-la-ka celebration leading up to then.

But for reals on the heartbroken thing. I am so distraught over this series ending. CAM sent me a galley of Shadows back in August September and I have yet to finish it. You would think that because I am the biggest fan... like ever a ginormous fan that I would have finished it by now but like... seriously, I don't think you guys understand how incredibly hard it is for me to let these characters go. I just can't, I refuse, actually. I told myself I'll give myself time to accept that fact but...
