William Gibson's Archangel

Alyssa has lived in a compound ran by a Demonic leader, Walton, almost all her life. She has a young daughter named Samantha is thought to be the key to surviving the coming apocalypse, Alyssa takes her daughter and flees in hopes of saving her daughter from Walton. Soon after they leave a shooting star streaks through the sky and Samantha asks her mother if it could possibly be an angel. Her mother, after years of nothing but terror and sorrow, tells her there is no such things as angels. She meets a man, Gabe, who seems to always be around when she needs saving. She knows there is more to the man who keeps saving her her and her past has taught her not to trust men but for some reason her daughter feels safe with him. I can't say much more without it containing spoilers.
 
This book was like/hate for me. I loved the idea behind the book; good v.s. evil, demons v.s. angel...YEAH! GIVE IT TO ME NOW!! The first couple of chapters were really good and had me eager to keep reading. Then, to my disappointment, it becomes bland and irritating. The dialog bothered me, it felt emotionless. Alyssa's character is dense. I wanted to scream at her. She had been told multiple times how to stay undetected and still kept on making obvious mistakes. She at one point knows she has encounters a demon and doesn't even alert her protector to it's presence. I kept hoping her character would perish and then story would continue with Gabe protecting Samantha, I liked their characters. The whole story was repetitive and felt like I was rereading the same scenes over and over (and over and over and over) just written a little different each time.
