Get access to the best in romance: Kissed By an Angel Book 1. The unbreakable bonds of love are put to the test in this romantic and suspenseful collection of the New York Times bestselling Kissed by an Angel trilogy. A love beyond life I wish that Ms. Chandler would have played up the romance between Ivy and Tristan a little more. It was really hard to feel the emmotion of the characters. But I cannot complain too much on the subject because, once I started reading the second book, I was hooked and couldn't put my kindle down. I am a big fan of mystery, and the second and third books definitely have alot of it.
Do not read on if you haven't read these books yet! I was so devastated when Will seemed to be a part of the whole "killing game". I cheered for Will through this whole series and I couldn't belive it.

I thought that the author did an amazing job at implicating Will and making the reader truely believe with only a tiny seed of doubt , that Will could be on Gregory's payroll. Thank you, thank you, thank you for letting Ivy and Will be together at the end: The intro to their relationship was perfectly done and had my heart aching. Oh by the way.. It's about Ivy and Tristan, they were so deeply in love. An accident changed everything. Tristan died in the accident leaving Ivy hurting and depressed, that she lost her faith in Angels..
Tristan became an angel and met Lacey Lovitt, another angel that taught him how to communicate Ivy and try to make her believe in angels. Tristan found out that their accident wasn't really an accident. Someone set them up. Ivy and Tristan's mission is to find out who caused their accident. I can't wait for Evercrossed.

I couldn't believe the ending of book 3 though! It was still shocking though! I couldn't imagine going through what Ivy went through. My husband is a Marine and I could not imagine ever losing him. Of course it is always in the I thought this book was amazing!! Of course it is always in the back of my mind until he is done. This is one of the first books I added to-read when I joined Goodreads in February This book is an omnibus of the first three books in the Kissed By An Angel series: By the law of averages that makes this omnibus a 2.
Although there are no distinct markings to direct where one book ends, it's very obvious when you start a new chapter and go throu This is one of the first books I added to-read when I joined Goodreads in February Although there are no distinct markings to direct where one book ends, it's very obvious when you start a new chapter and go through friendship introductions that always happen at the beginning of books written in the 90s.
Speaking of which, I kept getting frustrated that this book was clearly written in and then updated for a modern audience - references to dead Heath Ledger, for example. I keep wondering what Beth was writing on in non-updated version of this book when it was referencing her laptop, for example, because although laptops for teens are common now, they weren't back in the 90s.
Hell, I didn't even know what the internet was until I really slogged through the first two books. The first book was all about developing Tristan and Ivy's romance: They have exactly one outside interest each: Tristan's is swimming, and Ivy's is piano. They share the same circle of friends. They are each pathetically devoted to each other. Tristan cares more for Ivy than he does his own family. He never visits them but he hangs over Ivy like a bad freaking smell.
One thing I didn't get is that Tristan had never seen Ivy before the day he fell in love with her, when she was new at school How could she be new at school if she'd lived there her whole life? The second book was slightly more interesting but also completely obvious so it didn't hold my interest as much as I'd hoped it would. I pretty much hate Suzanne, and Gregory's actions often made me feel physically sick to the stomach view spoiler [kissing Ivy Some people say there's nothing wrong with it because they aren't related by blood, but they're still step-siblings.
And the only reason Ivy thought it was wrong was because Gregory was supposed to be with Suzanne and Ivy was still in love with Tristan, not because they were related. The plot raced by at a breakneck speed and even though I was pretty sure I knew how it was going to work out, there were some pretty frustrating red herrings thrown at me.
I decided that because Tristan was working so hard to unlock doors, that Caroline must be an evil ghost who could do the same thing, and Caroline was hurting Ella, not Gregory. I was wrong - I was clearly overestimating the book. My grandfather died recently and I've been an emotional wreck ever since because I didn't get to say goodbye.
I hate that Ivy had that chance.

The mystery is definitely what sells this book. That, and Ella the cat.
Pretty good dedication to the characterisation of a voiceless pet. I really liked her. If you can get through books 1 and 2, I'd love to say that 3 won't be a disappointment. I really enjoyed it and now I'm going quite happily to book number 4, Evercrossed, and planning to purchase 5, Everlasting, when it comes out.
View all 3 comments. This book was okay, definitely not great but not the worst I've read of the genre. Ivy is petrified of water and swimming after an incident in her childhood. Then she meets Tristan, handsome, sweet, popular and in the swim team. At first she's not interested but then as time passes and she gets to know him she starts to fall for him. Things seem to be going great until Tristan dies in a car accident. Dead but he has a purpose before he can move on, to protect Ivy from whoever is trying to kill her This book was okay, definitely not great but not the worst I've read of the genre.
Dead but he has a purpose before he can move on, to protect Ivy from whoever is trying to kill her. The book started well but I found that after Tristan's death it just went down hill from there. Other than Tristan I found the characters annoying especially Ivy. She comes across as one of those girls who can't be without a boyfriend. After Tristan saves her and moves on, and is out of her life for good she could sense closer to the end she immediately has someone else who she quickly fall in love with. I don't think characters, or people, should pull a Bella Swan and mope around for several months but I found that even though he was dead for quite a bit longer he was still very much a part of her life as he were alive and she only looses him at the end of the novel.

Maybe it's just me but I thought moving on from your "soul-mate" five minutes after he has left isn't love. Ivy and Tristan are meant to be together. Both stunningly attractive, brilliantly talented and very much in love, they think their happiness will last forever. When a terrible car accident shatters their world, killing Tristan and injuring Ivy, she must face life alone - or so she thinks. However, Tristan is watching over her as her guardian angel - so close she can feel his touch and hear his voice.

And no one needs a guardian angel more than Ivy, because someone is trying to kill her. But if T Ivy and Tristan are meant to be together. But if Tristan saves Ivy, his mission on earth will be finished, and he'll have to leave her behind. Will saving Ivy mean losing her forever?
This book is absolutely moving! When I read the description I feel in love with the plot of the book. Elizabeth Chandler has really described the love between Ivy and Tristan flawlessly! Throughout the book you will see how love is strong, and endless. The ending is one of the best ending ever This book is a definite must read for all fans of romance, angels and love. So, basically, this is my favourite book Dec 26, Julie Anderson rated it did not like it Shelves: Total waste of time. The writing is poor. The book menandered and seemed way too long. The action scenes are anti-climatic.
The best chemistry is with her and antagonist. The love story the book is based on is so weak that I couldn't have care less if they were together or not. All the characters were very flat. I had a hard time picturing who they were and even what they looked like. The ending was extremely rushed! Additionally, this book is being sold with all the other YA - fantasy books that Total waste of time. Additionally, this book is being sold with all the other YA - fantasy books that are popular now.
I found it interesting that the author never referred to cell phones, or texting, or anything of modern technology Just another author trying to jump on the "Twilight" band wagon. It could have been better if it was condensed into one book, evenly paced, and altogher better writing so that I would care about the characters.
As result of her mother's new marriage, Ivy and her brother Philip are forced to move to the biggest house in Stonehill, with all the wants and needs of life. She had to adjust to a new school halfway through the year, make new friends, and deal with a new, and creepy, if I might add, stepbrother, Gregory.
Her true and strong belief in angles, her love for piano, and her cat, Bella, were all she had left of her real home. One the first day of school, Ivy learned about one thing, Tristan. He fell As result of her mother's new marriage, Ivy and her brother Philip are forced to move to the biggest house in Stonehill, with all the wants and needs of life. He fell head over heals for her at first sight. It took time but when she was forced to give up her cat to a trusting home, witch ended up being Tristans, Ivy started liking him back.
She trusted him so much that she put away her fear and let him teach her to swim. Over the months, Ivy and Tristan grew close. Their relationship ended abruptly with sixty-five miles per hour, cut breaks, and a deer one hundred feet away. Tristans death was tragic, and it left Ivy alive and feeling alone with no one and nothing, not even her angles, left to lean on. But he didn't leave.
Tristan became a lovely creature with wings. After his death he wondered around Stonehill with his new, also an angle, friend, Lacy. Both of them are working on their missions, a job sent from the big guy in the sky that they have to finish before leaving earth. In order to finish his mission, Tristan found a way to creep into people's minds and use their abilities, such as righting or drawing to send messages to Ivy.
The only problem was Ivy didn't know it was him, and would get angry with her friends who were being controlled by Tristan. Tristans death wasn't the only death that year, it lead to a series of unfortunate events. Four other deaths and one attack, and one attempt at murder took place that dreadful year. All of the "accidents" some how had a relationship to Ivy, which is kind of creepy. Until one day, and a beautiful day at that, it smacked her right in the face.
Kissed by an Angel Series by Elizabeth Chandler
Ivy finally realized that this whole time she had been so close to the murderer, so in danger of getting hurt, so stupid not to realize that she pushed things a little too far! Kissed By An Angle is a good read for all of you who jump into the mysteries, murders, and somewhat magical events, kind of book. The book sucked me in, I felt like I was standing there right next to Ivy helping her decide weather to jump off the tracks, or risk sprinting twenty feet from the rushing train.
The way the book is written also helps with the story. Elizabeth Chandler switches from Ivy's to Tristan's point of view, narrated by a distant voice. I think she had some fun with this book, somehow she new that I would read it and, latterly, start yelling at Ivy for how stupid and innocent she was written to be. Although I blame it as the reason that I didn't have my room on time, I give this great, exciting, and obnoxious book a four star out of five.
The plus four for good writing style, and great story plot. The minus one for the character Ivy. She drove me crazy, because it took her so long, to long, to figure it all out I absolutaly love this book. I could not put it down once I began reading it. It is not only a teen romance novel but it is also a mystery.
It is full of twists that will make you never want to put it down. This book was very well written. Apr 10, Elizabeth rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: OK, so in order to give 5 stars, I think a book should intrigue me intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually. Rarely does a novel do all three- especially a young adult novel. That said, I think this comes close enough. Plus, I couldn't stop reading it.
At least if I hadn't read it before, I would be constantly guessing what would happen next. The end is fairly predictable, but there is enough adventure in the whole plot to keep me putting the pieces together. It may not strike OK, so in order to give 5 stars, I think a book should intrigue me intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually. It may not strike every adult intellectually, but it's perfect for an adolescent. I know because I was one when I fell in love with this trilogy. Love, family, death, fear, frustration This story draws you in and makes you feel! I like that there is a clear spiritual element.
It's all about angels. I mean, it's not theologically accurate, but it encourages a belief in God and his servants. How can I be upset about that? It's a whole lot better than, say, Sarah Dessen glorifying sex, drugs, and rock and roll. A simple vista, la historia es como cualquier otra: Me encanta este chico. La historia de amor es preciosa: El amor verdadero nunca muere. Posted on K-Books http: I read this book over a year ago, so this review will probably be quite short. This edition has book 1, 2 and 3 of the Kissed by an Angel series in. I am starting book 4 today so thought I would write a quick review of my thought on the first 3 books in the series.
I am going to count all 3 as 1 book though because that's how it felt when I was reading it.
Kissed by an Angel
Ivy is devastates when her boyfriend Tristan, the love of her life suddenly dies. She Posted on K-Books http: She doesn't know how to cope without him. She has always believed that angels watched over everyone but now she's not so sure. If angels watched over everyone why would they take Tristan away from her? Tristan is sent back to earth as Ivy's guardian angel. She is grave danger and she has no idea how close the threat to her life actually is.
As she tries to live her life unaware of the danger she is in Tristan must try to save her. But if he does he'll be sent back, is he ready to let her go? I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was such a great love story. At the beginning when Tristan dies I wasn't sad or anything as I expected it. I didn't know the character that well so I couldn't get emotional about it.
What I didn't count on was the author going back and re-telling the story of how he and Ivy met, how they fell in love and how perfect their relationship was. I knew exactly what was going to happen and I really didn't want it to happen and ended up sobbing like a baby.
I started to love Will. He is such a sweet character and all he wanted was to help Ivy through Tristan's death and was always there for her. I was completely shocked to find out who the threat was. I did not see that coming at all. Usually in book I can guess what's going to happen but I was completely shocked and it took me completely by surprise.
