Avenging Angel #1
Fall From Grace
Evangeline Grace loved her job as a vice detective, men, sex, and Happy Hour – though not necessarily in that order.
Then she was murdered.
Now she's an earthbound Avenging Angel and not that much has changed. Which is a good thing. The flaming sword, awesome powers, white wings and a Celestial Mandate to avenge the innocent, she can handle.
Abstinence, not so well.
Cowboy- turned-Reaper, Nathan 'Trick' McKitrick, had his own reasons for selling his soul. Reasons that seemed good at the time. Not so much after more than a century of servitude to a dark demon lord. Now he's been given the chance to get out of the contract. Freedom so close he can taste it.
Just one last, dirty job.
At a West Hollywood bar, mix one part heavenly righteousness with a tall shot of hellfire and there's going to be the devil to pay.
Maybe literally.
Trick is everything Evie was looking for in life -- and the afterlife. Too bad the Celestials have ordered her to destroy him to avenge innocents murdered in the theft of a powerful supernatural relic.
Despite her best efforts at smiting, things just keep getting in the way. Little things. Like Voodoo King mojo, a Guardian Angel in a robbery gone bad, airport motel mayhem, an assortment of LA wizards and Trick's naked body.
Oh yeah, his body definitely keeps getting in the way. Damn it.
Then there's the problem of the Fallen Angel who apparently has murderous plans for them both.
Her Avenging Angel's duty is to execute the handsome and very dangerous Reaper.
And orders are orders.
Always.
Most of the time.
Oh, all right, all right, some of the time.
Evie's never been very good at following the chain of command, which is probably what got her killed in the first place.
There's just something about Trick. A light beneath the darkness that stays her hand every time she knows she should strike.
Does he feel the same? Or is the Reaper setting her up for a fall? A fall into the dark night from which, this time, there will be no return.
Then she was murdered.

This wasn’t one of my favorite books. I’m not into demons and angels and the afterlife with romance.

I thought this book was ok.. I didnt really think it was good but it wasnt too bad..
The book didnt really go into much detail. I only found out that Evangeline or Evie was murdered from the goodreads book description-if it was in the book maybe i had missed that detail..
I think the book left out a lot of details-kind of missing holes in the story.. As i read the book description, it says much more than what the book had been written.
Evie is an Avenging Angel with a flaming sword. She meets Nathan aka Trick in a bar, who turns out to be a Reaper. An occurrence happens in the back of the alley that leaves Evie tracking Trick and some stuff goes down
This book was a short read and i wouldnt recommend it to younger readers due to sexual content...

I received a copy via Voracious Readers to review
I found the book to be an enjoyable read, although the interaction between the male and female leads seemed way too quick to come to the love conclusion and hop into the sack together. It was almost forced. A bit more interaction between the two on any kind of level would have made the book a lot better. I liked the concept that was presented, but again, it needed more fleshing out.

This was a short book but all packed with love pain and vengeance!!
When Trick a Reaper meets Evie at a bar he has it bad for her even if he has to kill her to get out of his deal with his boss to get his soul back.
She has an instant connection even if her killer sword has other ideas.
Great debut to the series!!
