Why on earth don't I read more angel books. I have really enjoyed all the angel books that I have read this last year, but I still don't read too many of them. Angel Eyes is a great story! I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. Since it is an angel book, it does deal with God and faith a little bit throughout, but it never seemed overbearing or like it was forcing religious views on you. I am not a fan of overly religious books and Angel Eyes didn't bug me one bit. I loved hearing Brielle's story and I really connected with her. This is going to be an awesome trilogy!

Brielle, or Elle has dealt with a lot of trauma, but she never once seemed whiny or "poor me", which is super admirable. Even when she wasn't feeling especially strong, she never gave up. I just have a lot of respect for people with that attitude and so it was no surprise to me that I fell in love with Elle from page one. I love that she is a dancer and I can't wait to see her hopefully get back in the dance studio in the next book.

Jake is just flat out adorable. Or should I say "hot"? I'm a pretty big fan of Jake. He is just good to the core, and I love me some good guys. It was just too cute to see what caused him fear. It was just so vulnerable and endearing. I can't wait to see so much more of him. My heart just broke for him at the end of the book and let me just tell you, he needs to be happy in the next book. Jake is just one of those people that deserves rainbows, and sunshine and just to be happy. Elle better treat him right, because even as much as I love her, I love Jake even more!

One of the coolest things about this book is how the angels are described. I loved the description of them and their powers. I haven't read a ton of angel books so I'm not sure how original they were, but they felt authentic and unique to me. Angel Eyes is a beautiful and emotional journey. It grabbed a hold of my heart and made me fall in love. Shannon Dittemore's writing is wonderful, and I can't wait to see what she has in store for us with the next book.
