Angel-Book 6

Fang starts off with leaving Max a note saying that he will meet her again in 20 years. He feels he is a danger to the flock and doesn't want to hurt Max. He is also starting to believe that he is no match for Dylan who is meant to be perfect. Max is now very vulnerable without Fang. Dylan uses this opportunity to make a move on Max. Despite her previous mixed feelings Max begins to warm up to Dylan. Little does Max know that Fang is starting his own new flock/gang. He and Max's clone, now called Maya, are on a new mission to save the world. However, they do not plan to defy Max, only to help.

Both groups go to Paris in attempt to stop the Doomsday group from killing themselves. They are some sort of crazy organization, and if they were stopped it would save the world. Here Max's group and Fang's group accidentally meet up. They decide to join forces to stop the Doomsday group. During this time an explosion happens. No one can find Angel. She is believed to have died in the explosion. The end of the book is all about Angel. She wakes up in an ominous laboratory. She is surrounded by tons of people all promising that they will "take care of her". The flock has no idea the danger that Angel is in. She is left on her own. This is how the  book ends. Hopefully another book is going to come out soon so as to find out what happens to Angel.

FANG- BOOK 5

This book starts out with a devastating secret. Angel tells the flock that Fang is going to die. Max can't believe what she has heard, because she is finally starting to accept the fact that she is in love. Angel will not tell her how she knows of this secret, but it is assumed that it comes from one of her powers. When the science experiments are about to be terminated a bar code shows up on the back of the neck, so Max is constantly checking for one. Fang doesn't show any emotion to this factor; he is just trying to spend as much time as he can with Max. The only thing standing in their way is Dylan, who still thinks he is going to take Fang's place. Now the question is whether or not Dylan knew of this secret also and if that was why he was placed in the flock and trained to love Max.

Because Max and Fang are spending so much time with each other, the flock feels that they are a danger to the rest of the flock. They force the two to leave and Angel becomes the flock leader (what she has always wanted). Immediately Angel gets rid of all Max's rules. She gets rid of schooling and becomes the absolute ruler. In a way, the flock is scared of her, but she proves to be funner than Max. Fang ends up being captured by Dr. Hans and is killed. Max thinks that this is the end for all. Angel was right, so what is left for her to do now? The flock has a feeling something is up, so they rush to the rescue. Max injects an adrenaline shot into Fang's heart and revives him. He comes back to life, but in the mean time Dylan trys a suicide attempt, this does not work. After this the flock is reunited. This book ends here with a very suspenseful ending, making it impossible not to continue in the series.

MAX- BOOK 5

At the beginning of the book, the flock is trying to recover from their arctic adventure. While recovering, they hear of millions of fish dying off the coast of Hawaii. The reason why is unknown, so they government requests the flocks help once again. They unexpectedly come across the problem when Angel went swimming (she can breathe under water). Max, of course, was being too protective and went to fetch her. On her way she spotted something large and scary off in the distance. They immediately told the environmentalists, but nothing showed up on the radar. Not surprisingly it was Mr. Chu, the evil scientist that's been after the flock the whole time. He wants Max to join his side, so is following her every move to more easily convince her of his power. He finally grabs her attention when he captures the most important thing in her life, Valencia Martinez. He had her mom, and now she was lost. Her mom had helped her through everything, so it was up to her to help bring her back.

The "large something" happened to be Mr. Chu's submarine. Aboard it was Max's mom. Mr. Chu frequently beat her trying to get more information about Max out of her. He wanted to know where they were headed and what their plans were. He also starved her to try and receive more information. This did not work. Valencia was strong and she loved Max very much, there was no way she would give in. Max came across the ship due to Angel communicating with whales. The whales were able to tell her where the ship was and that it was what was killing the fish. The submarine was hit and water started bursting in. This was Max's chance. She had seen her mom through one of the windows and she did not look good. She was thin and bruised all over. Max got to her mom without a fight; she was rescued and brought to safety to rest and become healthy once again.   

THE FINAL WARNING- BOOK 4

In this book Max discovers who her mother is. She is a veterinarian who lives in a quaint cottage in the country. This means that Max has also gained a sister. Her mother has known about her being an avian her whole life, but was not able to find Max. You also discover that Jeb, the evil scientist/pretend father, is her real father and is married to Valencia. All of this is a lot for Max to handle. Max really trusts her mom, so she is able to somewhat accept Jeb as her father. Max's mom convinces the flock to go on a trip to the antarctic. Valencia is part of a group of scientists trying to save the world naturally. They are planning a trip to the antarctic to study the fish and the land. She suggests that it would be safer there for the flock, so they agree to go. They are forced to live in a submarine, which is a challenge for the flock because of safety issues. They are all scared of tight spaces in case of an attack.

On the trip Fang has a crush on one of the scientists, making Max very jealous, allowing Fang to realize how strong her feelings for him really are. Not only do they find love, but so does Total. He falls in love with the science dog Akila. She is a huge, fluffy, white dog. The flock really enjoys their time here because they are able to let their guard down. They are not bothered by scientists at all, and they enjoy the feeling of being needed. They are constantly doing tests of the Earth and watching the lifestyles of the fish.

Of course the perfect trip couldn't last forever. When they are packing up to leave no one can find Angel. She was walking with Akila and fell in an ice crevice. It happens to be in the middle of a snow storm. The flock spreads out to search for her, but because of the cold and blowing snow it is hard for them to fly at a high altitude. When they finally find angel, she is trapped in a crevice with Akila on top of her. Akila is too heavy for the flock to carry out, so they are forced to stay out in the blizzard. They build a snow wall around where she is trapped to try to block the wind. They are freezing cold and starting to loose feeling in their body when the evil scientists and the erasers show up. They cannot fight because their bodies are numb. Therefore the flock is captured. This is the end of this book. What happens next will proceed in the next book.

SAVING THE WORLD AND OTHER EXTREME SPORTS- BOOK 3

This book, Max and the rest of the flock are still fighting off erasers and trying to solve their destiny of saving the world. Only this time it becomes more complicated. The flock is searching for their parents, only becoming more disappointed each time. Fang and Max start to realize their feelings for each other, making it very awkward for them to be around each other. Max is against falling for Fang because of the flock, although she can't help to think about him constantly.

Due to Max and Fangs' tensions they can't agree on anything. The flock ends up splitting up. At first it seems as if everyone is going to leave Max, but eventually the girls begin to feel pity for her and decide to go. Fang decides to hide out, keeping a low profile, while working on his blog. He has a blog that keeps the world up to par on the earliest flock drama. Max however, gets on a plane to Europe in search of the powerful scientists. She ends up being captured and held captive. She has no way to contact Fang and she knows that he will not come in search of her because of their fight.

What happens to Max and the girls is unknown. You will have to read to find out. The author purposely leaves a lot of details out, allowing the reader to fill in the details, so the book can be depicted in many ways. This book allows your imagination to run wild, because there is so much happening. It makes it that much more intense that the flock is split up during the most dramatic time.

SCHOOLS OUT FOREVER- BOOK 2

The second book is a continuation of the flock being on the run. They are headed to Washington D.C.. They never know where they are going or why; Max just always has a sense of where to go. On their way to this destination Fang is injured by an eraser. The flock is forced to take him to the hospital, because he is injured too badly. This is very dangerous for the flock because keeping their identity a secret is very important to their survival. Here, a nurse calls an FBI agent when she sees Fang's wings. They make and agreement with Anne, the FBI agent, to live at her house for safety. The only catch is that she is allowed to study them in return. Here the flock becomes comfortable, letting their guard down and not worrying about danger anymore.

The flock also attends a private school; this is for the needy and disabled, so they seem to fit right in. Anne is the one who forces them to go. The flock was raised in a science lab so they have no sort of knowledge, except survival. They begin to treat Anne as a mother, because none of the kids know who their parents are. This is exactly what Anne wanted. At the end of this book Anne reveals herself as a member of the lab in which the flock was created. She does show affection to the children, because she feels as if they really are her children since she helped to create them. Her greed for science over powers her lust as a mother however. This is the end of the book; it leaves you hanging wanting to immediately pick up the next one.

The Angel Experiment-Book 1

The title of the books centers around the story line. Throughout the story the flock races through adventure after adventure to find Angel. Angel is captured by evil scientists after they escape the laboratory. The main scientist against them is their so-called caretaker, who they thought they could trust; his name is Jeb. He supposedly died/left the flock, so it was a shock to find out that he was the one trying to capture and kill the flock. Also trying to kill them is Ari. He was their "stepbrother". He got turned into an eraser, which is every bird kids worst nightmare. Erasers are human-lupine creatures; when they get angry the morph into wolf-like creatures. This book is where Max finds out her true destiny as a human-avian. She was created to save the world. The book will not tell you from what, or when she is destined to do this. Max, of course, is so stubborn that she has her own plans for the future, and it doesn't include saving the world. As a leader, she just intends to protect her flock and save Angel.

This book is great, but is very vague on detail. It is only an introduction to the story and to the rest of the books. All of the action with the erasers, and the surprise of Jeb being alive makes the read very exciting and suspenseful. Angel being kidnapped early in the story is foreshadowing to her deceiving ways of always wanting full control, and doing what is best for herself and not the flock as a whole. The book was released in 2005, so is considerably new. I strongly recommend this book, and the ones to follow.
