For a book that did not go through the traditional publisher route, this is about as perfect as they come. The writing is tight, the editing is above anything I've read and the story is amazing. Yep, I absolutely loved this book and was lucky to meet the author at BEA. She was amazing and beautiful and yeah, said we won't get a sequel until 2014!! I know! I was heartbroken. I told her to write faster and she said she was trying.
So let's get to the story. It's been six weeks since a fierce battle and angels sent from heaven have been sent down to destroy civilization. There's also good angels and bad, but it's hard to tell who is really good. Every Angel has their own motives.
Penryn, her mother and her disabled sister are trying to escape their condo to get away from the Angels who have come to rid the earth of humans. During their escape they come across a nasty fight between said angels where one of the Angels wings is ripped out from him. After the other Angels have finished destroying one of their own, they take Penryn's sister and fly off to parts unknown. Penryn enlists the help of the damaged Angel to take her on a journey that will be self-discovery about everything she's ever known.
Penryn is a flawed character and that improves her so much. Pen's mom is crazy, Paige is disabled possibly by her mother's hand and Pen is trying to keep her family together but it is destroying her. Because her mother is so unpredictable, she had to take self-defense lessons which come in quite handy when she is trying to locate her sister. Pen takes care of the injured Angel until he can give her the information she needs to find her sister. The damaged Angel agrees to help Pen but he is not happy about it and only wants his wings back. He introduces himself as Raffe from there on, they go on twisted road trip with so many different paths that I had no clue where this could end up. The relationship between Raffe and Pen is bubbling with sexual tension. While at an 'Angel' nightclub, Raffe needs to 'protect' Penryn by flanking her with his body. And what a scene it was! But his retort, "I still don't like you." sizzles with promises.
I was completely breathless reading this book and cannot wait for the sequel which I told won't be released until 2014! Which is completely unacceptable. I want this now. Especially with the way this installment ended. I need more Penryn and Raffe! Like now!

“Hey LadyStar readers! Acey here. Z-bot just reworked the comic page a bit and re-added the Buzzcomix button. It’s below the panels on every page. If you click that button you can vote for my pals over on Buzzcomix, so jump on over there and give us a thumbs up! Acey out.”
“Okay Z-bot, I want to make sure we don’t lose Cici. If she lets out a yell, I want the Hana over there with weapons charged before the echo dies, understand?”
“Affirmative, Commander. The ship is on full autonomous combat readiness. Sensors, battle computer and perimeter defense systems are on maximum alert.”
“Acknowledged. Here’s our first update, folks. We have a new Varcarel Jade web comic page for you over on the comic side
“Errrr… Ranko called me and said there wasn’t anyone to do updates today, so uhhh… well, here we be. I’m Tara Blaylock and this is my pal Irina. Let’s see here I wrote down what Ranko
said. . .”
“And you haven’t seen either of them since yesterday?”
“No, Alanna-sama. We haven’t seen anyone. Leila-sama, Talitha-chan and now Shannon-sama are all missing and nobody has heard from them at all.”
“Here comes Yorozu, maybe she’s heard something.”
“We got trouble, boss. I checked the band room, and Goofy called everyone last night. Now it’s all three of them, and we haven’t seen Little Bit yet today.”
“We have to find her. She’s the only one left with an Ajan Treasure. We have to check her school first. Come on.”
“Ranko-chan, what do you think is going on?”
“I think it’s that Sorcerer Dude, and our biggest problem is the Professor had one of our only two treasures, so we’ve got to stay frosty and be ready for anything. I hope we can find Little Bit. Let’s go.”
“This is our new web comic! It’s called LadyStar: The Varcarel Jade, and it’s a story about this really strange artifact we found one day after this super tough battle against some haunts at the Sports and Crafts Fair. It’s gonna be just like our Ajan Warriors Series Books, except it’s a seperate story, so it’s different than the books sorta, cause in the Varcarel Jade we all have our treasures and powers and stuff.”
“The Varcarel Jade will be updated every Tuesday and then again as part of our Ten Update Fridays. We might do some bonus updates too. We’ll announce everything here, and we’ve got a category set up for the web comic too.”
“So tell all your pals we’ve got a new web comic and invite them to join the adventure!”
“Alanna-sama’s the Winterdancer, ’cause that’s her title of lore when she gets all her neat powers. Did you know the Warrior of the River’s powers are all from snow and ice? It even says so on her warrior page! Looky!”
