Angel Burn by L.A. Weatherly - NO

Weatherly, L.A. Angel Burn, 464 p. Candlewick, MAY 2011.  $17.99.  Language: R (95 swears, 0 ‘f’), Violence: G.  Mature Content: G.  Willow thinks that the only things strange about her are her love of tinkering with cars and her psychic abilities.  When she reads the future of a school mate, however, and finds that the girl is being drained, damaged, by an angel, Willow’s world is turned upside down.  Then a boy arrives – an assassin sent to murder Willow, but he can’t, because he realizes that she is different from the other angels he has taken out over the years.  Willow is half angel – and her special arrangement of powers may be the key to defeating the dark powers of the full angels, who are actually beings from another dimension, who are determined to bring all of humanity under their sway – to feed them with their energy and create human cattle.  While this is billed as the first in a romantic trilogy, for right now action takes center stage.  The language used seemed really unnecessary and intrusive.  Though I liked the plot, I would leave this for the public library.  PUBLIC.
