Fall From Grace: Avenging Angel Series Book 1

Avenging Angel #1

by Eden Crowne

For a killer cocktail mix one-part Avenging Angel with a tall shot of reluctant Reaper, stir in a dose of deadly Fallen Angel, and then stand back Los Angeles. There’s going to be hell to pay. Evie Grace loved her job as a Vice Detective, men, and a good drink at the end of a long day. Then she was murdered. Now she's an earthbound Avenging Angel and not much has changed. Which is a good thing. The flaming sword and Celestial Mandate to avenge the innocent she can handle. Abstinence, not so well. Heaven’s timing sucks. Just as she’s getting to know handsome cowboy Trick McKitrick, the message comes in to terminate him. He’s a murdering Reaper and her duty is clear. Evie's never been very good at following the chain of command. Probably what got her killed in the first place. But there's something about Trick. A light beneath the darkness that stays her hand when she knows she should strike. In a swift turn of events, it’s Trick who gets her to safety after a surprise attack by a mysterious Fallen Angel. Are she and Trick allies, enemies, or something more. Something infinitely more complex and dangerous.

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...

Review

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!!
