World After (Penryn & the End of Days #2) by Susan Ee

Synopsis:
In this sequel to the bestselling fantasy thriller, Angelfall, the survivors of the angel apocalypse begin to scrape back together what's left of the modern world.

When a group of people capture Penryn's sister Paige, thinking she's a monster, the situation ends in a massacre. Paige disappears. Humans are terrified. Mom is heartbroken.

Penryn drives through the streets of San Francisco looking for Paige. Why are the streets so empty? Where is everybody? Her search leads her into the heart of the angels' secret plans where she catches a glimpse of their motivations, and learns the horrifying extent to which the angels are willing to go.

Meanwhile, Raffe hunts for his wings. Without them, he can't rejoin the angels, can't take his rightful place as one of their leaders. When faced with recapturing his wings or helping Penryn survive, which will he choose?

My Rating
-5/5-
Loved this book as much as the first one!!!
Now this book takes place right where the first book left off. I recomend reading the first book then reading this book right after wards. That's what I did and I'm glad because it probably really helps.
The summery of this book makes me think it was going to be like the last book a little. It wasn't though! It was pretty different.
Now this book is kind of awesome in the fact that we get to sort of know about Raffe's past and also Paige's past in this book. Like Paige we kind of get to know what happened to her and Raffe we just kind see into his past a little. Cool thing about this is they are both done in some really cool ways that was interesting.
Parts of this book got me wondering if the bad guy was really so bad, then parts got me wondering if Penryn's mom is really that crazy? So that was interesting to read about, cause I don't even know the answers to those questions! Had some really good twists and turns, in this book.
Also since this book takes place in a short time like the last book (almost hard to believe) it is really action packed and really good. Hard book to put down. I love this book and can't wait to see where the next book takes us because this is so good but it left so much unanswered at the end. I'm now dying to get into the next book and see what happens to each and every character. 
Penryn's epic fight skills make her amazing and she is so kick-ass that this book was hard not to read.
We also seen a lot more of Paige's character and that mom's so it really isn't just about Penryn and Raffe now it is about like all of them. You really get drawn into to every character and want to know what happens with each one. Which is great!
This book is just as good as the first can't wait to see what Susan Ee has in store for the 3rd book.
