Dangerous Angels by Francesca Lia Block


Love is a dangerous angel...Francesca Lia Block's luminous saga of interwoven lives will send the senses into wild overdrive. These post-modern fairy tales chronicle the thin line between fear and desire, pain and pleasure, cutting loose and holding on in a world where everyone is vulnerable to the most beautiful and dangerous angel of all: love.

I really wanted to like Dangerous Angels. I’ve heard wonderful things about this book, but I just don’t get why. Don’t get me wrong, when I was reading the first few books in this series, I really enjoyed them. Francesca Lia Block has a way of writing that completely sucks you in. She knows how to writing convincingly in a way that’s unique.
What I didn’t like about Dangerous Angels was that it was too far fetched. I didn’t understand half of what was going on. I still haven’t figured out what genre Dangerous Angels should be put into, which really bugs me. It’s part realistic, part fantasy, part paranormal. I think a lot of people like/will like Dangerous Angels. I can see the appeal in it.
