Archangel

by Misa Buckley

Small time crook Gabriel Kemp is only trying to make a living when a hit-and-run leaves him for dead. Waking up in hospital to an angel at his bedside gives him a second chance, but one that comes with a condition.


Fleeing San Francisco doesn’t mean he can evade the deal either – he still manages to meet Abigail Harris, the woman he’s promised to protect. He might not believe in the psychic visions she claims to have, but he knows even the chance of her identifying the serial killer terrorizing downtown L.A. puts her in danger.


The only way to keep Abby safe is to find and stop the killer. If that means taking on the devil determined to turn the City of Angels into the City of Hell on Earth, then so be it.

This story was short and sweet but didn't lack any of the detail or action.
I was recommended this book by someone else and am so happy I decided to give it a go.
I adored the characters Abigail and Gabriel.
Gabriel's past haunted him and shaped him. He was a great lead and easy to understand his motivations. His change in character suited perfectly.
Abigail strong willed and fiery.
I only wish we knew a little more about her and her past as jrs touched on but never explained.
It's been a while since I was so hooked by a book and able to finish in one setting, hanging on to every word and eager to see what happened.

I highly recommend this story to any romance reader.

Gabriel had always been a runner. Be that packages being delivered for unsavory characters or from complication situations. After dealing with an abusive household growing up he vowed never to be like his father. The easiest way to accomplish this was a lack of ties. This had worked for him for years until he was hit by an SUV and given a choice by an angel: become a guardian of a woman or die. The choice was simple. Now, Gabriel must protect Abigail from a serial-killing demon.

I received a copy of this eBook from the promoter in exchange for an honest review. While I am not generally very big on religious books I figured one just dealing with angels couldn't be that bad. The battle between good and evil was exciting. However, the writing on this book leaves something to be desired. An editor needs to attack this book. There is everything from run on sentences to things as awful as the main character ordering a "double vodka, neat with ice" for a sipping drink. So many things wrong with that. For one, vodka isn't a sipping drink. Two neat means just the drink. I don't know if the author has never been to a bar or what, but yikes. That is just one example of please edit this book.

Other than the editing needs it's an interesting story. A woman has visions of women being murdered, forced to experience their deaths at the hands of the killer. The killer has made a deal with hell to gain demonic powers by killing 13 innocents, with Abigail set to be the last of the 13. If he succeeds there will be a demon loose on the human realm able to cause untold death and destruction. While the angels are unable to get directly involved there is a loophole. They can make a deal with a human who is in purgatory to protect the innocent and rid the world of this killer by whatever means necessary. In Gabriel's case this includes killing.
There is humor, romance, death, and action within these pages. All in all it is a good read as my only complaint is the need of an editor. My favorite character would have to be Charlie. Again, I have a thing for red heads. Plus he's Irish so it was unavoidable that he'd be my favorite. Especially considering he was dependable while still teasing and joking throughout.

ARCHANGEL is a paranormal Angel romance by new to me author Misa Buckley. Gabriel is a middle-aged man who dies and wakes up in the ER and is given the choice to live or die by the woman (Jophiel) who is standing over him. He would be assigned to guard a woman who is being hunted by a man who has sold his soul and is trying to kill her. Gabriel decides he wants no part in this and leaves. But fate has other plans. I liked the slow reveal of information, especially in the suspense plotline. Abigail, the woman Gabriel is assigned to guard, is a psychic, and the person hunting her is a serial killer. The suspense plotline was especially well done and I particularly liked Abigail. This story had angels, demons, psychics, and killers. The story was very well written. There were some formatting issues. 4/5 stars.

This is the third book I've read by this author. I think is probably some of the best characters of hers I've yet read.

"Bad boy" stories don't normally interest me much but she has created a character who is much more interesting than that.

I have given 4 instead of 5 stars because there is nothing wrong with this book, but I can see ways it would read better to me. Maybe if/when there's a sequel it would address some of it for me.

This paranormal romance is an intriguing action packed read. The author has created a great tale of good vs. evil with a few surprises that the reader doesn’t see coming. While overall I found this to be an enjoyable read, I was a little disappointed because it seemed that the whole thing was a little too easy, but that could be because it is a short and quick book.
