Brilliant sequel

I wouldn't say that this is as good as the origional - City Infernal - was but it comes close and is certainly a very good read. I read the majority of it on a flight and didn't get bored with it once. The novel starts off with portals between hell and earth opening in various places and horrific events occuring because during the time that these are open, creatures from hell escape and earths reality becomes merged with the reality of the Mephistopilis (the city of hell). Meanwhile, Cassie is in a mental institution, after having told people the story of how she is an Everess and went to hell. However, an angel comes to her to warn her than a male Etheress is about the share the same fate as Cassie and her sister and that Lucifer is planning on using him to create hell on earth - and it is up to Cassie to stop him. As with the first book, I really enjoyed it from the start - and the story is made even better by the great characters - but gets 50 times better once Cassie enters hell and we get more of the authors graphically gorey descriptions of the multitude of horrors that hell has to offer.

Cassie is at it again! Great book! Ed Lee continues her story about a year or so after the first book ended, and in grand fashion. Her friends are gone now, but she has a new partner in crime against the Devil. And some help from a geek. It's great to read another story in this genre with alot of the characters I'm already familiar with from the first book. And another deathwish tale of Monsters, Angels, Devils and such. BUY IT! Exciting ride!

Not the first one, but not a "poor rewrite" either...

After enjoying City Infernal, I eagerly awaited the arrival of Infernal Angel. I couldn't put the first book down and wanted more of the same. I ordered it despite some of the negative reviews here calling it a "poor rewrite" of the first. I don't think that's accurate at all. While there certainly are elements of the first book in the second, including some overlap concerning the descriptions of Hell, this one is a more complex narrative with multiple new characters and a storyline that takes a different approach. Gone are most of the protagonists from the first book, leaving us with Cassie and a new cast of characters (including a human whose journey to Hell intersects, but never quite interacts with, Cassie's own). I considered giving this book one fewer star than I did City Infernal, but the fact is that I was easily as entertained by this second book as the first -- and very curious as to whether Lee intends to make a trilogy of the series (as he once said he might). Given the very... final... tone of this book's end, I don't know if there's anywhere to go with it, but I would gladly pay for a third outing with Cassie and Mr. Lee.

"Infenal Angel" is just as good, if not better than its prequel "City Infernal". In the 1st book (City Infernal), the story focused mainly on Cassie and her "dead" friends adventures in hell, as they searched for Cassie's dead twin sister "Lissa", escaping danger around every corner, as they found themselves in the middle of an unholy war. Although the devil is mentioned in the book, there was only one short chapter in which he actually spoke,or had any action. In "Infernal Angel" not only is the devil mentioned through out the book, but he also speaks and has action scenes in what seems like every chapter. The way he speaks and the things he does leaves chills in your spine as you read about how he came to be, and why one of his nicknames is "the master of lies". And the devil's final confrontation with Cassie at the end of the book, absolutly took my breath away, and made my heart pound as I read every word, constantly looking over my shoulder as I turned the pages. Although it was a shame that "Infernal Angel", didn't include, and then go into more detail about what happend to "City Infernal's" lovable characters "Hush" and "Vita", the introduction of an angel from Heaven that comes to aid Cassie on her new adventure, "Angelese" brought a breath of fresh air, and alot of unexpected comedy and fearce drama scenes between "Angelese" and "Cassie". " Angelese" also answered the age old question...yes, some angels do say bad words. The other new character "Walter" became more and more annoying to read about, as examples of his "nerdy ways" and cowardness were stressed over and over throughout the book. But the reason it was stressed so much became clear in the end of the book,as he committed a brave, brave act... In the 1st book "City Infernal", most of the action and story took place in hell. In this sequel "Infernal Angel, alot of the action and story takes place on earth, as the devil finds a way to place his kingdom of hell on earth for short periods of time, terrorizing and killing all humans in his way. This was a wonderful book to read, a book that I would recommend to everyone. With its haunting and graphic details, a chilling story line about the devils plot to take over the earth once and for all, and a character in "Cassie" that you find yourself feeling attached to, this is a great book that will povide hours of scary reading.
