Book Review: Angelfall

Books like Angelfall are one the few reasons why readers shouldn’t give up on reading paranormal stories and picking up self-published books.  The journey might be taxing but once you come across stories like Angelfall, all those hitches you’ve passed by will be greatly compensated. It is amazingly unique and greatly depicts Susan Ee’s superb devotion to the genre.
