Camille Harper, about to finish high school, can see angels
all around her. They appear to watch her. She has been able to see angels from
birth, and while she is amused by this ability, she just wants a normal life
with friends, family, and good times. Why can she see angels? She doesn't know,
but she believes the knowledge will change everything. Then she witnesses a
confrontation between a beautiful angel and a dark winged creature. The strange
event will signal the end of normal life.
Did the strange beings know she could see them?
Her friends want her to sneak out to an abandoned house for parties, but her instincts scream “NO!” Something is not right about the place. The hip new guy in school, Earl, wants to date, but she is afraid he will disturb her circle of friends, and there is something not right about him. Her parents aren’t doing well together. And whatever strange plot is developing, her sister may be in the middle.

Camille just wants to make it through the year and graduate from high school, but changes are leading up to some apocalyptic event.
Can Camille continue Seeing Angels without her life going to Hell?

Review
Apocalypse of Angels was a fun and fast read. I really enjoyed the plot and can't wait to see where Harmony takes the story next. I have always loved angel stories so I was very excited to get to read this story. It even had a new twist on angels that made it completely unique and original.
Cami has always been able to see angels. That has been her secret and her secret alone. One night she witnesses a fight between and angel and something dark. She knew right then that everything was going to change. Why were her friends, especially Earl, getting angry with her for not going to the house parties? What side is Earl really on? Is Cami's sister, Beth, right in the middle of it? What happens with Jason and Cami? When these answers came out, I was left completely stunned on a few of them.
I had trouble connecting with Cami as a character. At times, she just really got on my nerves. By the end of the story though, she grew on me. I guess it was the fact that she matured at the end. Cami has always been able to see angels. She can tell by looking into their eyes. When she meets Jason, she notices immediately what he truly is. But they have such a strong connection and all she wants is the truth from him. Jason is so sweet, sexy and gorgeous. I love how protective he gets with Cami. He is experiencing forbidden feelings that he has never felt before. Their relationship is tough, but the romance and connection between them is so strong. What can I say about Earl. I didn't like him from the start. I knew something was up, because he just gave off that creeper vibe.
The only issue I had with this story was reading from Cami's point of view. Cami is an eighteen year old senior and it felt as if I was reading from a fifteen year old. It was really hard to connect with her. At the end though, I started to really like her. She matured and started acting her age so I will definitely pick up the sequel to see what happens next.
Apocalypse of Angels was an exciting story full of romance and secrets. Of course, there was a cliffhanger at the end that definitely left me wanting more.
Excerpt:
“I really want
to see you again, Cami, but I’m not sure about this. I’m not sure I can.” His
gaze is intense. There is no way for me to respond to that. I look down again.
He raises my
hand to his lips and kisses. Electricity travels
up my arm. How
can a kiss feel like that? Have we fallen in love
already?
“Why wouldn’t
you be able to see me again?” I finally have to ask.
“Never mind,
just pretend I didn’t say that.”
He is hiding
things from me, and I know what they are. Attraction is making me so weak that
I am tempted to tell him what I know. I have to fight it.
His warm hand
is smooth on top and rough on the palm. My hand must seem cold to him. He can
hold my hand as long as he wants.
He sighs and
kisses my hand again. “We better drive back to your car. I don’t want to keep
you out too late.” He sounds like a guy trying to avoid trouble.
