'brilliant...i'd recommend this book to all teenagers and young at heart adults!' (TEEN TITLES )
'Exciting and edgy...a wonderful read' (INIS )
'Exciting and edgy...a wonderful read' (INIS )
Lesley Agnew, THE BOOKSELLER
'This unusual fantasy about a girl who, obsessed with angels, actaully finds she is one, is made plausible by a very strong depiction of the underpining pattern of teenage anxieties and everyday angst.'

"Two Girls are inextricably linked by destiny, not choice. Stephanie a friendless misfit who believes strongly in angels and, Freya who can't stop seing angels and really doesn't want to.
When one of those angels begins stalking her, Freya is forced to make decisions from which there's no turning back."
I really, really liked this book, I found the popular girls at thier school quite wearing, and thought Freya made some bad choices, but I also understood why she chose the options she did.
When it got into the part about the angels and what they did - I thought it was really quite moving.
I liked it so much I just bought a signed hardback copy, and the ghost story "Breathe".

When I bought 'Angel', I was not expecting it to be as good as McNish's Doomspell Trilogy and Silver Sequence, but having read it would go almost as far as to say that it surpasses them.
As with all of McNish's novels the storyline is innovative, but Angel in particular holds some sort of magical beauty - a depth and ability to captivate the imagination and emotions. The characters are vivid and involving and the descriptive narrative sublime.
The original ideas sit exquisitely together and allow the reader to see angels and also the world we live in in a new and beautiful but intriguing light.
An unforgettable story. This book is unputdownable.

This is a fantastic book! I couldn't put it down! Let your emotions run wild with this book - freeze in terror, laugh with joy and grin from ear to ear at the sheer magic of the writing. A must-read. Anyone who hasn't read this book is really missing out. Well done Cliff McNish on producing such a spectacular masterpiece.

Nice, hopeful story.
Like the reworking of angel mythology, and the overall positive message. The plot's otherwise a bit too predictable, though.

I loved the fantasy meets reality, with the clichés at school and the socially weird yet with angels. Read more
