Natural Born Angel An Immortal City Novel Scott Speer Books

It seems that I have been reading a lot of books that are more of Filler and Build-Up books lately than normal. Natural Born Angel does continue on from the first book, Immortal City, and it does have a couple good action and important type of stuff happening in it. But it just seemed to be missing that "umph" you used to get in books. I still enjoyed this second installment, but it was a little difficult to get through at times.

***POSSIBLE SPOILER*** ***ALSO DO NOT READ IF YOU DIDN'T READ FIRST BOOK***!!!

This book is set up a little later than the end of the first book. Maddy, the main female character, decides to become a Guardian Angel in Angel City instead of going on to College. And because she is half Human, half Angel, she is trying to deal with the Angels discrimination with her while training to be a Guardian in the hopes to change a couple of things in the way that the Angels are doing them. Jacks, the main male character, of course had lost his wings at the end of the first book. So he is struggling with getting them back/working and becoming a Guardian again. So, while both Maddy and Jacks are trying to deal with their own personal agenda, you don't get much of their "love story" that the first book had. (But, you will get A LOT of dialog on their thoughts.) You will also continue to follow Detective Sylvester while he tries to figure some "things" out that are going on in Angel City and around the world. (This part of the story also has A LOT of information and can make you cross your eyes.)

***END OF POSSIBLE SPOILER***

Sooo, there are a lot of switching around in the narrators and scenes. You will experience the trials of each of the 3 main characters and be introduced to a couple more new main characters. There are a couple of areas that are intriguing in the book, but overall, it's just not as good as the first one. There are even a couple of areas that threw me for a loop to the point where I had to literally stop reading and go back and try to figure it out. In the end, I didn't really figure it out because it just seems that Scott had skipped over something while "jumping ahead" in the story.

I really do hope the 3rd book will pick back up with the full grab and hold your attention scenario the first book did. And honestly, the Cliff Hanger Scott gave us at the end of this book, I really don't think it will be any other way. Hopefully, we won't be disappointed.

All in all, I still recommend this book and suggest you read the first book before this one. I am really looking forward to the 3rd book and hope Scott will post an update on it soon!

Natural Born Angel An Immortal City Novel Scott Speer Books Reviews

My name is Maddy Montgomery. I'm sorry I'm Maddy Godright. Let me try it again. Third time's always the charm. My name is Maddy Montgomery Godright. Right now my life is a little bit crazy. Not only am I Jackson Godspeed's girlfriend but my Uncle told me some life changing news. It appears I am half angel. No need to freak out or anything. If I'm half angel shouldn't my wings be coming in pretty soon? Or is that up in the air as well?

I am told to keep my head held high. Don't let people get to me. Things will turn out ok at the end. I would be okay if not for Jackson. He hasn't been himself in the last couple of weeks. He tells me he's fine. If he's fine then why does my gut tell me something bad is going to happen?

Maddy has a right to worry. Something will change for all of the Angels around the globe. Who is there to protect the humans if the Angels can't protect themselves?
I seem to be having problems with sequels lately (see my review of "The Elite"). As much as I anticipated and eagerly read through this book in just a few hours, now that I'm done I'm unsatisfied and find myself questioning several parts. But first let me affirm that I DO love this series and highly recommend it - I just wish this bridge book had been done differently. As another review points out, a second love interest is introduced and that didn't work for me, since Jacks was so wonderful in the first book. And the guy became way too pushy - old Maddy would've stood up to him. She was another problem. Her character wasn't consistent, even within the book. How could she forget that Jacks had been willing to sacrifice everything for her? And now that he's hurting she barely notices. Finally, Mark - I don't see how Jacks trusts him after what he found out in the last book. And again, too much Detective Sylvester...he really doesn't add much unless somehow he's going to get his wings back. So ok I know this all sounds negative but while reading it is good, will hold your attention (some sequels I never finished, they were that bad), and I think (hope) the next book will get back on track. The heart of the story is the love between Maddy and Jacks, and good vs evil. Stick to that.
I loved the first book Immortal City and was confused when I read the so-so reviews for Natural Born Angel. Luckily, I tried a sample and ended up buying the book. I had waited a long time oft this book and it lived up to my expectations. The reason I loved Maddie in the first book stays true in this book. She still believes in humanity and the real role of angels. Maddie still grows into herself in this book and into her angelic abilities. She is a very strong character, one you can look up to. Jackson is conflicted in this book which seems realistic.....what would you do if you lost a vital part of who you are? Many new players come into the mix as it is leading up to book 3. I still believe in Jackson and Maddie and can't wait for the next book. Don't believe the negative reviews, you don't want to miss out on a great book!
