grammargirlThe problem with reading mostly YA novels coupled with a strangely engrossing angel sci fi/fantasy series is that I've been going through books way faster than I can write about them, and thus I am once again woefully behind in my book logs. Consider this my valiant attempt to catch up.
I've grouped The Alleluia Files and Angelica together in one book log because they, like every other book in the Samaria series, are more or less the same story with a different cover and different character names. Normally I'd find such repetition on the part of an author to be irritatingly lazy, but in this case I find the consistency to be weirdly comforting. There's the angel/mortal couple who start off hating each other and end up being perfect for each other; the clearly defined villain; the narrowly averted peril of one of our favorite characters; the new piece of the puzzle concerning the god's relationship with technology; and a little bit of good old fashioned angel sex, usually just coyly alluded to. The good guy wins, the bad guy gets his comeuppance, and I'm left wondering why I can't put the damn things down. It's baffling, I tell you.
