Shadows in the Silence Angelfire Courtney Allison Moulton Books

If you had to choose between staying alive and saving the rest of the world, what would you do? What if you weren't the one to die, but if it was someone you loved?

Shadows in the Silence is a wonderful finale to the Angelfire series by Courtney Allison Moulton. It has all of the elements that made the first two books of the series so enjoyable for me. Ellie is still the strong heroine for this story that she has been in the previous books, with just enough vulnerability and weakness to make her sympathetic as a character. Things in this world are now horribly dangerous, and getting worse each day as Sammael and Lillith get stronger and stronger, building their army of demons to destroy the world. On top of that Will is slowly dying from the bite of a demonic reaper. So things look grim. Very grim. But Ellie still has not fully tapped into all of her potential, and there is also hope for a cure for Will, so there is hope that guides the action of this book.

All of the characters I loved from the first books are still here -- Ellie, Will, Cadan, Kate, Marcus, and Ava. But this story is also enriched by the addition of a few new characters who make the story even better as well as throwing a wrench in some of Will and Ellie's preconceived notions about who they are and how they fit into the world.

What I loved:

The epic love story. Let's face it. The thing that really makes this series so amazing is the love between Ellie and Will, her guardian. Sure, there is danger and mystery and death and destruction and the potential end of the world. But it is Will's overwhelming love for Ellie and his desire to protect her in all things, and Ellie's love for Will and her desire to be with him despite all warnings against it ... that is what makes this story epic in my mind. I LOVE Will as a character. So much. As amazing as his love for Ellie has been in the first two books in the series, I was able to see the power of that love even more fully in this novel. But that love becomes a hindrance at a certain part of the book, and Will and Ellie have to decide if their love is bigger than the fate of the rest of the world. They definitely have to struggle with this a bit when it becomes clear that one of them might not make it through the attempt to save humanity.

Cadan!

Oh Cadan, I have to apologize to you. You were just so amazingly awesome in this book as you did all that you could to help Ellie find a cure for the man she loves, doing this despite your overwhelming love for her. You helped Ellie at every turn. But I have to admit that as I was reading I was starting to worry that it was all going to end up being some big hoax, that I would find out that you were really working against Ellie and still working for the demons the whole time. I didn't want this to happen. I was going to be really, REALLY upset if this happened. But because I worried that you were going to abandon Ellie in the end I kept my heart guarded for this entire book because I did not want to have it torn out of my body and squeezed to death right in front of my eyes. So I'm sorry. I was just as bad as almost everyone else in this book who didn't put all their faith in you. Luckily, Ellie did.

All I can say is ... CADAN IS FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!! I loved this character so much. He may be my favorite of the whole series, even though I was always Team Will when it came to Ellie's heart. Still, Cadan was such a contradiction in a world of extreme black and white reality. I wish that there could be a spin-off series involving him because I still want to know so much more about him. And seriously ... this boy deserves a Happily Ever After romance. Seriously.

The themes of this book were wonderful. I love books that make me think. Ellie's connection to her humanity allowed her to feel emotions, a thing that did not affect other angels. Angels were meant to be soldiers, beings who obey without question and without emotion. But Ellie's humanity allowed her to feel things like remorse and love. The angels believed those emotions to be weakness, but Ellie finds that to be her greatest strength. And then there is the issue of whether it is better to sacrifice your own happiness and life in order to save others. It might be easy to make that decision on a theoretical level, but a bit harder when there are others left behind who will suffer when you are gone.

The ending was perfect ... but I kind of wish that it was maybe two or three pages longer. I wanted to know more. I wanted more Will and Ellie. Still, I don't know if there could have been any more perfect ending line for this series than the one Courtney chose. Brilliant.

There is death in this story. There is the pain of loss. But that has been par for the course in this series. People are going to die in this struggle between good and evil. There are times in this book where I could not read fast enough. I needed to know what happened next. The good thing is ... Good prevails in the end. Love totally conquers all! Yay for that. The ride I was taken on to get to the satisfying ending was well worth my time this week. I highly recommend this book as a fitting conclusion to a wonderful series. You won't be disappointed. Four stars!

Shadows in the Silence Angelfire Courtney Allison Moulton Books Reviews

I am unbelievably amazed at how this series has ended. This was such a fabulous book that I don't even know where to begin. This book really stepped it up in the action department, but maintained the Ellie we know and love. Everything about this book was absolutely flawless-from the great beginning of Ellie and Cadan's search for a cure for Will, to the utterly heartbreaking ending that leaves you shocked.

Ellie was awesome in this book. Even though I loved her before, she really stepped up her game in the conclusion to the series. Gone was the shy, quiet girl that wasn't sure how she fit into the world of angels. Ellie is now a kick-butt girl that doesn't hold back. Cadan was the best in this book as well. I love Will (and always will), but Cadan stole my heart a bit in this book, and I was hoping that he would have a happy ending. Will was amazing as ever, and my heart broke for him in the end. I loved how Ms. Moulton brought every character to the forefront, and gave each one a part to play. It was nice that some of the minor characters didn't just fade into the background.

The best part of this book was the action. The writing was flawless, and it felt as you were right there next to Ellie and Will fighting alongside them. This book is definitely more violent, but that just adds to the atmosphere of this book. There is a war brewing, and with war, comes blood. And boy is there a lot of it.

Grab your tissues when you get to the ending because it is definitely a tearjerker. I don't usually tear up when I'm reading a book, but this book had my on the verge of tears. I honestly never expected what happened to happen. While the epilogue more than made up for it, I was still shocked nonetheless. Again, it was excellently written, and I couldn't have asked for a better, more realistic ending for this series.

Even though I'm sad this series has come to an end, I am happy that it's over. This series was the perfect length (not too many books), and will always hold a special place in my heart. I will read it over and over again because it is THAT good. I can't wait to visit the world of Ellie and Will all over again. Any fan of the Angelfire series will not be disappointed by this conclusion.

5++++++ angels
Shadows in the Silence blew me away. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading and as soon as I finished, I had that feeling. There's really no way to describe that feeling, but you know when you have it.

Ellie really comes into her own in this novel. She's strong, determined, and really figures out who she is. I really liked the focus on Ellie and her humanity. Moulton did an amazing job of speaking about what makes humans human without sounding like she was trying to preach; she wrote about souls perfectly. The struggle Ellie faces between saving the human world and possibly losing herself, or keeping who she is and risking evil taking over is done in a breathtaking way.

Will and Ellie together are fabulous. They realize that while love can make you weak in the knees, it does not make you weak in the heart. It gives you something to fight for when everything looks like it is stacked against you. They rely on each other, but they aren't dependent upon each other. There's a wonderful balance of give and take in their relationship and it's perfect.

I was very hesitant about reading the Angelfire series. I just wasn't sure if it would be my cup of tea. Moulton's writing shook me and made me think, really slow down and savor each word she wrote. Ellie and Will's story is timeless and I'm completely in love with them. Shadows in the Silence is a gripping, fast-paced novel that keeps you turning page after page, needing to know what's next. Even in the darkest times, Moulton created a world that still had that ray of hope.

This is a definite must-read series for me. Don't make the mistake I did and pass it up for two years. Read it, and read it as soon as possible.
