Alex tells Willow that while her mother was a human, her father was an angel. He follows Willow as she goes to a Church of Angels to talk one of her friends, who has severe angel burn, out of joining but the visit sets off a chain of events resulting in all the church of angel members looking for her, eager for her death. However, when he sees Willow's angel form and realizes that it doesn't have a halo, which is the angels energy store for the energy that they take from the humans, he also observes a picture of Willow when she was a child and takes it as proof that Willow's not an angel since angels don't have childhoods. Willow is a sixteen-year-old girl who has psychic powers that tell her (on physical contact) a person's past and all the possible futures of that person she meets Alex, who is an Angel Killer (shortened to AK in the book) who has been sent to her house to kill her. The feeding results in angel burn, which leaves humans fatigued, weak, and completely reverent of the angels. To supplement it, they feed off humans' aura, causing serious long-term illnesses to their food sources.

In the series angels are beings from another dimension, who crossed over to ours when the ether, their natural food source, started running out. The following two books, Angel Fire and Angel Fever, were also released by Candlewick in the United States and Usborne Publishing in the United Kingdom.


The first book, Angel, was first published in the United Kingdom on 1 October 2010 through Usborne Publishing and was later released in the United States as Angel Burn through Candlewick on. The Angel Trilogy is a romance, thriller, fantasy, and supernatural series of three books written by L.A.
