Angel Star by Jennifer Murgia
2.0
I have been wanting to read this book for about a year now. And I finally decided to get it from the library because I couldn't find it in stores. Well I'm glad I did.
I was really excited to read this book, but once I started it I realized it was going to be one of those books, that you had high expectations far, but they just fall flat. Angel Star was that for me. It fell flat.
Teagan didn't do much for me as the main character. There wasn't anything special about her that made me like her. Well other than having a guardian angel among other things. She meets Garreth at school one day and of course is instantly attracted to him. Then like the third day they know each other he takes her to this rundown church and tells her what he is. I found it surprisngly early for information like that. There were quite a few infor dumps that I found quite annoying.
Throughout the book I really wanted to knock some sense into Teagan. First off, she leaves her best friend with her boyfriend who is acting strange and the girl who is the queen bitch of the school.
And then there was Hadrian. Oh good god. Not only is he the bad guy, but Teagan feels attracted to him. Of course she does. But she loves Garreth. It was almost like the author wanted to establish a love traingle, but didn't really. I just didn't like that at all.
The one thing that drove me crazy throughout the book was all of the ... some of them I understood, but almost all of them were uneccessary, it seemed like Teagan had issues with staying on track.
Overall Angel Star was a huge disappointment for me. I don't even think I am going to try with the next one.

then later that night she finds out her best friend died. She should have stayed with her friend. Then Teagan doesn't seem that affected by her best friends death. Sure she cries a little, but it seemd that she didn't care all that much.And then there was Hadrian. Oh good god. Not only is he the bad guy, but Teagan feels attracted to him. Of course she does.
