Good supernatural romance
I enjoyed this book, but not as much as I thought I would. Several things irked me about the plot, and although there were brilliant elements to the story, I didn't think that it balanced out enough.

Ivy and Tristan's declaration of love was very rushed, and I felt that the intensity of their feelings for each other was quite unbelieveable. Had more time been spent on the characters getting to know each other, the relationship progression would have seemed a lot more natural and reasonable. Tristan's sickly sweet comments were too much sometimes, and I just wished he'd man up and grow a pair. Luckily, Ivy didn't hear most of his lovestruck ramblings, or she may have found herself getting over Tristan a lot quicker than she did.

The supporting friends and relatives were all well written, especially Ivy's brother Philip, who was without a doubt my favourite part of the book. I really hated Gregory, which, I hope, was the point. He was creepy and weird, and was well on his way to being arrested for stalking. I hoped Ivy would sense that something wasn't right with him a lot earlier than she did, and her lack of common sense frustrated me. Had her trusty angel Tristan not been on the scene to help her out, I have no idea what would have happened to her.

I loved the murder mystery element that was present throughout the book, and I had fun trying to guess how everything connected. The author successfully made me doubt several of the main characters, which I thought was a clever throw-you-off-the-scent way of testing loyalties and keeping the reader on their toes. Chandler had a good grasp on teenagers and their lifestyles, and really played on the all-consuming nature of first relationships.

Kissed by an Angel is an interesting twist on angels and guardians, and I think I would have liked it more had I read it as three separate volumes, which is how it was first released back in 1995. Chandler was way ahead of her time with this novel, and tapped into the world of supernatural romance long before Stephenie Meyer dreamt up a whole new genre. I'll definitely be checking out her other books, as they're good for an escapist read about things that go bump in the night.

Best book ever...
I got this book because I love to read about teen romances, and I really didn't want to get it at first because it was so thick! But I realized that when I started to read it, I read the first 400 pages within 3 days of my vacation in Maine. It was such a good book. It was a book where you didn't know who to trust and what the person's reaction was going to be. This book was full of suspense and love. And I don't think that anyone has the right to make fun of it at all because I was explaining it to my friend, and she thought that the book was extremely corny talking about angels and stuff. But you have no right to do that unless you read it because your reaction to the book will be totally different

Excellent
I thought that this book was wonderful. I often cried at the sad parts and the happy parts brought a smile to my face. I felt so bad when Tristan was trying to understand his new way of living. He found it hard to adjust to not being seen by people. Only people who believed in Angels could see Tristan. Tristan's main objective in the story was to warn his girlfriend that she was in great danger. But being that she no longer believed in angels since the accident it was a hard accomplishment. I thought that this book was well written because it was particially a romance and a murder and a suspence storey.
