Angelology by Danielle Trussoni
1.0
Sister Evangeline is a young nun living in a convent in upstate New York, living a life of peace and solitude until Verlaine, an art historian, comes to the convent archives she works at requesting letters written by Abigail Rockefeller. The letters pipe Evangeline’s interest and leads her to discover the world of Angelology, a secret society of people trying to rescue the world from the Nephlim, the offspring of the Fallen Angels and humans, which her family happen to be famous members of. After her discovery, she must leave the world she knew forever. Evangeline and Verlaine join Angelologist on a hunt to find a magical object that Abigail Rockefeller has hidden before the Nephlim who believe it will give them even more control over humanity than they already have.
The story line itself is interesting, but the novel lacks the depth to engage the reader. The characters lack vigor, and are hard for the reader to relate to and feel sympathy towards. The pacing of the novel is too slow to keep you on your toes, and nearly puts you to sleep. While the basic story line is good in theory and sounds as though it will be nonstop action, Trussoni fails to bring the elements that make a thriller to their full scale leaving bits and pieces weaved together by a never-ending story.
