Chronicle Toward Books Outcast
After six years of “angels” coming out of the sky and taking people from her town, 16-year-old Riley Carver has just about had it living with the constant fear. When one decides to terrorize her in her own backyard, it’s the final straw. She takes her mother’s shotgun and shoots the thing. So it’s dead. Or … not? In place of the creature she shot, is a guy. A really hot guy. A really hot alive and breathing guy. Oh, and he’s totally naked.Not sure what to do, she drags his unconscious body to the tool shed and ties him up. After all, he’s an angel and they have tricks. When he regains consciousness she’s all set to interrogate him about why the angels come to her town, and how to get back her best friend (and almost boyfriend) Chris, who was taken the year before. But it turns out the naked guy in her shed is just as confused about everything as she is.
He thinks it’s 1956.
Set in the deep south, OUTCAST is a story of love, trust, and coming of age. It’s also a story about the supernatural, a girl with a strange sense of humor who’s got wicked aim, a greaser from the 50’s, and an army of misfits coming together for one purpose: To kick some serious angel ass.

Sing 'em to remember.Sing 'em because you remember. This book was ...simple. Just simple. A slow paced novel with some small holes in the plot, Mary-Sueish female lead, adorable male lead and tHE ENDING I WANT TO HIT SOMEBODY FOR.So we have a small town, which has been getting visited by angels for 6 years in a row. These angels come on a one certain day and kidnap random people. This day was made into a celebration day called 'Taking'. Townsfolks are expected to celebrate and have fun on the3.75/5(view spoiler)[these paintings are actually tiny spoilers you will only understand after you read the book (heh). so consider yourself unspoiled for now. (hide spoiler)]every year they come out of the sky at the same day and same time to take people. this understandably scares the shit out of people. pastor warren takes it upon himself to soothe people and point out that those beings coming to take people away are indeed angels sent from god. and that the town was blessed to be chosen.
Fifth year they took Chris, my best friend since we were little and who Id just had my first kiss with the week before.Sixth year, I shot an angel in the face. I had absolutely no expectations concerning this book. I liked Kress's other book fairly well, but it wasn't anything mindblowing or fantastic. It was a fairly mediocre to tell the truth. However, Outcast definitely couldn't be called mediocre. It was an incredibly enjoyable, fluffy read with an adorable cast and an equally adorable
Wow. That was simply stunning. With quirky story telling, this somewhat dark and creepy and often laugh out loud funny story is no Angelfall. And that's a good thing. In a small southern town, angels are said to be taking several young people once a year. No one has ever seen the angels, but every August, a few people disappear in the great taking. The town's minister has convinced the people that he's talking to the angels, and that their town is special. The good townspeople even built him a
I just finished this book and I would like to take a moment and sigh. Yes, sigh because this was a good book and it hit me in all the right ways in all the places. I wish I didnt have to speak about it because it is the kind of good that you want to keep to yourself. To savour it because somehow speaking about it brings home the point that its over and its gone and just, the story is done. I think its a standalone and for once I wish it wasnt. I wish it was a series. Please let it be a series.I
One of my biggest pet peeves - incorrect use of local vernacular. Please authors, if you are not familiar with the way an American southerner speaks, don't try to use the word "y'all". Y'all means "you all", addressing at least two or more people. Every time I read this used incorrectly, it completely threw me out of the story... ugh.
