Tired of vampires and werewolves yet? Literary trend watchers have been on the lookout to see what fantastical creature will be the next big thing. A few months ago, it looked like zombies were taking over, but now it seems fiction has been kissed by an angel.
This past fall, the original vampire author, Anne Rice, published a new novel, Angel Time, about a contract killer who gets recruited by angels to travel back in time and help people. In December, Disney optioned the rights to Lauren Kate’s teen novel, Fallen, which has sparked comparisons to Twilight.
Here’s a roundup of recent and upcoming books starring fallen angels and the heavenly host:
Angel Time by Anne Rice
Angelology by Danielle Trussoni
Angels of Destruction by Keith Donohue
Covet by J.R. Ward
Fallen by Lauren Kate
