Tiya is OtherKin SidheÂ…a real, live faery. Tiya discovers that Charlie has enough sexual heat to melt away the cold knot of revenge within her.

The third in Anya Bast's Embraced series - this is another well written action oriented vampire paranormal. Not much Dominion action in this one but we are introduced to the OtherKin Sidhe via the heroine, Tiya. Tiya walked in on her family being ripped apart by vampires. She killed some but some got away and she is hunting them for revenge. In the process she comes across Charlie [a continuing character from books 1 and 2 who has had NO good luck with any of his love interests so far:] and injures him for getting in the way. He tracks her down, learns her story, and decides to help her out by finding out the truth. The sex in this one is definitely pushing the envelope compared to the other two - it includes a couple of scenes with f/f contact plus a 'moresome' group scene.
Bast does her usual outstanding job of introducing multiple fascinating characters with their own plots and then weaving them into the main plot.
Order is important with this series and especially this book. Although if you read it as a standalone you'd be OK - but you wouldn't know a lot of important background about Charlie, Adam and Niccolo. It's worth it to read the whole series in order.

Anya Bast continues her story in this 3rd book of the Embraced series, BLOOD OF AN ANGEL. This book introduces Tiya, an OtherKin Sidhe…a fairy. She’s a woman hell bent on getting revenge for her family’s murder. Charlie has lost two women that he loved and fled from Gabriel’s territory to get away from all his memorys. Anya put these two together for a wonderful story of love, lust, betrayal and vengeance.
This story touched me. I couldn’t help but put myself in both Tiya and Charlie’s shoes, both having been hurt by love lost..it’s hard to want to be open to love again even when the lust is overwhelming. This book brought so much for me love, betrayal, the need for revenge, all of which I can relate to. The action was sweet while the romance was smoking hot.

Was okay but gee the writing or editing really did not help this book at all. If I could I would not have wasted my time with this one

I didn't like this one as much as the first two. Though I wasn't engaged in the plot either. I really didn't care too much about what was going on.

2-1/2 stars. Better than the first in the series (Blood of the Rose) for sure, but still not good

Interesting take on vampires, their worlds, humans and evil not to mention other paranormal creatures. Bast's writing has improved since this was originally published.
