One of my coworkers, who encouraged me to keep going with the series, promises that later on there’s a better explanation for the bad guys’ actions than just ‘they’re evil so they do evil stuff.’ I personally think that that needs to be evident from the book itself. There’s no given explanation for why the baddies suddenly want Angel back. The rest of the kids follow on an ultimately successful rescue mission. The bad guys show up to the kids’ home and kidnap Angel to take her back to the School.

The kids-the eldest is fourteen, the youngest six-are staying by themselves because they had escaped from the “School,” where men in lab coats did experiments on them. Well, technically they were mixed with avion genes, so they’re technically part bird, not angel, but that’s a technicality. It follows six kids with stupid names-Max, Iggy, Fang, the Gasman, Nudge, and Angel-who were genetically engineered into angels. It was pretty fun, even if there was nothing mind-blowing about it (it hit most of the typical fantasy things: chosen one narrative, superpowers, hotheaded but selfless hero, mysterious voice/visions that drive plot, etc.). Anyway, I went into this one with my expectations tempered. I think he has a lot of his stuff ghostwritten these days. (Yes, that’s an exaggeration, but not much of one). He writes more books per year than most people write in their career.

I work at a library with a lot of patrons that like Patterson, so we have a lot of his books, and a lot of his books is more than a lot of anyone else’s books. Of course, James Patterson is famous for cranking them out.
