Doctor Who: Touched by an Angel by Jonathan Morris
4.0
This was a really enjoyable fast-paced read, which captures the essence of 11, Amy and Rory pretty well. Like someone else mentioned this could easily have been a script for a TV episode.
The story was intriguing, funny and heart-breaking, and full of those time travel twists that you just can't think about too much or it will do your head in.
The weeping angels are probably my favourite Doctor Who villains, and while I thoroughly enjoyed this take on them, I feel as if they were just scarier on TV. I'm not sure if that comes down to me having seen them on TV first, as usually things are scarier to me if left to my imagination.
I had a bit of trouble with the "shorting out of the time differential" bit towards the end, it seemed too much like magic, whereas the rest of the story, though fantastical, falls under willing suspension of disbelief for me.
But it was a solid 4.
