Penryn & End of Days Review, Excerptions and Quotes by Susan Ee


Before I say anything, 
Before you read anything about this series, 
The prejudice about Angels will come into your mind.

Angels. Beautiful. Perfect. Pure. Total opposites of Evil and Dark. 
Am I right?

This is no shame, this is just the way Angels are in the tales we heard at night at childhood. But that's just prejudice. Those who are familiar with Supernatural (TV Series S12 currently filming) will get this concept faster.

AngelfallThe first book, you will see Penryn (obviously the main female character), Paige (her little sister), her crazy mother. Raffe/ Raphael (The Archangel, the main male character). Nephilim is the thing born of Angel and Human (it's the myth and Raffe is hunting them in case they were true) 

The thing they said in Angelfall is that "angels stayed in pack" "angels don't go solo". Yes, but Raffe is. Why and How will be told in the very end of the series End Of Days.

This book is going slow. Well, at first a lot infos to take in but it gets better. I seriously love the chemistry between Penryn and Raffe. I mean it's the romance happening in the apocalypse. It's something right?
Through the book, I am like 'I can't wait for them to get close' and when they get close 'when are they gonna kiss' or 'omggg just kiss already'. I don't know, there's something about Raffe that I undeniably admire and love. Raffe is definitely husband material (I did not say boyfriend had I?)

Penryn and Raffe, they became a Team. To save her sister, Paige who were kidnapped by a bunch of Angels lead by *Beliel*

This book is gonna be full of actions. But very slight touch of romance. Got frustrated over Raffe and Penryn's exchange of smartass comments. But at the end, what disappoints me is, Penryn who is hell-bent on going the impossible mission of saving her baby sister, had time to think about the very romance of Raffe and her?! She lacks focus. Well, just a little disappointment, of course all is forgiven <3


  • I knew from the start that your loyalty would get you killed. I just never thought it would be your loyalty to me that would do it.

  • Anybody that ties you to a chair at gunpoint is a bad guy. Do I really need to explain this?

  • “Why were the other angels attacking you?"
"It's impolite to ask the victim of violence what they did to be attacked.”

World After - The Second book, Obi (oh, the RESISTANCE CAMP Leader), Dee-Dum (The Twins) Beliel (The Bad Angel who was once under Raffe's command) AERI (the place where angels are?) Uriel (Angel President?) 

And yes, Penryn is stuck with the renaissance group while Raffe is hunting his wings down. Why? Are his wings taken? What? You don't know? Are you being bad now? Reading the second book review before finished reading the Angelfall? Hmm...

So, can we discuss how Raffe choose Penryn over his white, gorgeous wings now?????
(That's why you shouldn't read the review of 2nd book before you finished the first book, Lessons no.1. Sorry for the spoiler tho it's not exactly a spoiler is it? It's just what great, good, sexy Raffe would do. You know, I know, everyone knows ;)
That moment strike me. It's the choice. His wings or the human? He CHOOSE HUMAN! damn. Raffe got me.
The angel blade is also with Penryn and she got to name that blade and she went with some stupid but cute name. Agh!

No one can deny the epic ending. NO breathing-and-well-alive PERSON. Just like the first book, the second book ends with twisted ending and so much fun with so many actions. So, yeah, the second book is nice. But not as nice as the third one!!


  • It’s amazing how many times we need to go against our survival instincts to survive.

“It's about time you showed some sense. You should be afraid."
"I'm shivering because I'm freezing."
"You're cute when you're afraid."
I give him a dirty look. "Yeah, you're cute when you're afraid too."
"You mean I'm devastatingly handsome when I'm not afraid. Because you've never seen me afraid.”

End of Days - The Final one. Are you ready for the romance? Are you ready for the politics? Are you ready for the end? 

I can't tho. I got attached to Raffe. ALSO so Beliel! Can you believe that? You'll see the story of Beliel on the third book. You don't really need a review for the third book do you? This is good, great. You will read this for the closure. Period.


  • If I were human, I'd plow the nicest farm for you.

Let's see some moment from the book,,,,,, yeah?

“Are you all right?” It’s a stupid question because there’s not much I can do for him if he isn’t all right, but it just tumbles out.He snorts. “Aside from being beaned with a rock, I’ll live.”“Sorry.” I feel pretty god-awful about that, but there’s no point in groveling over it.“The next time you have a quarrel with me, I’d appreciate it if you could just talk to me first before resorting to pelting me with rocks.”“Oh, all right,” I grumble. “You’re so damned civilized.”He exhales rudely. “You okay?”I nod. There’s no graceful way to step back after my aborted hug attempt so we stand closer than is comfortable. I guess he thinks so too because he slips by me into the clearing.


DO YOU SENSE IT? THE AIR BETWEEN THEM IS SO TENSE!!!

“How’d you get to me so fast?” I ask. It must have been seconds from the time I screamed to the time he showed up.
I open my mouth to repeat the question, but he speaks over me.
“I was tracking you.”
I stop in surprise. He keeps going so I run after him to make sure he’s only two steps ahead of me. All kinds of questions float in my head but it’s no use asking them all. I keep it simple. “Why?”
“I said I would make sure you got back to camp safely.”
“I wasn’t going back to camp.”
“I noticed.”
“You also said that you’d take me to the aerie. Leaving me alone in the dark was your idea of taking me there?”
“It was my idea of encouraging you to be sensible and go back to camp. Apparently, sensible is not part of your vocabulary. What are you complaining about anyway? I’m here, aren’t I?”
It’s hard to argue against that. He did save my life. We walk in silence for awhile as I chew that over.

***scream*** He said "I'm here, aren't I?"


“What would you do if you had to make a run for it?’ His voice is husky as he stares, mesmerized, at the unraveling thread.
‘I’d grab my shoes and run.’
‘Dressed like this? In front of lawless men?’ His eyes drift up to my midriff.
‘If you’re worried about pervs breaking into the house, it’s not going to make a difference whether I’m in this outfit or in baggy jeans and a sweatshirt. Either they’re decent human beings or they’re not. Their actions are on them.’
‘It’ll be tough for them to take any action while I’m pummeling their faces. Disrespect will not be tolerated.”
I half smile at him. ‘Because you’re all about respect.’
He sighs as if a little disgusted with himself. ‘Lately, I seem to be all about you.’
‘What makes you say that?’ I wish my voice didn’t sound so breathless.
‘I’m sitting on the hard floor outside your door while you take a cozy little nap, aren’t I?”

OMG!!! FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELS***

Okay, the moment is over. I'm ashamed. I fangirl too much. But Raffe is such a boyfriend material. Every girl's dream is to have him. <3 Oh god.
