Book Description
All Phoenix really wants to do is fly - fly and be with Gabriel, the angel. But their world is a brutal one where accelerated evolution has fractured the city into factions that can barely coexist without killing one another. So it seems impossible for earthbound Phoenix to be with airborne Gabriel, one of the rare humans with wings.
Then the Adults come. Violent, fanatical, and "blessed" by evolution with armored flesh that makes them appear only barely human, the Adults are intent on stamping out anyone they see as a mutation - especially those with wings. Phoenix may be the only one who can save Gabriel, but in so doing, she just might start a war that kills everyone she loves - or possibly destroys the whole world.

interesting characters, Mar 3 2010
By Flamingnet Teen Book Reviews "FLAMINGNET COM" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: City of Screams(Gr.7-12) (Hardcover)
The book is a mystery, romance, and an adventure. There isa twist in this adventure as death is brought to their
home by raving Raptors. The Air Angels and Ground Angels
are limited in their abilities, but one special Ground
Angel is able to change everything.
I think CITY OF SCREAMS was a very nice book. This book
reminds me of one of my favorite author, James Patterson.
I like CITY OF SCREAMS a lot, and I feel that anyone who
enjoys a book with interesting characters should read it.
