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. Evie is on the trail of a handsome Reaper with a magical relic that can kill anything. Even an angel. She'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 the Reaper. A light beneath the darkness. When the two of them unite against a Fallen Angel with murderous plans for them both, everything changes. The Heavenly Host orders her to execute him. How can she explain she's falling in love? 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.
Eden Crowne is from San Francisco, California. In her other life, she is an international journalist writing on technology, pop culture, trends, and travel in Asia. She calls Tokyo, Vienna, London and L.A. home. She loves traveling, champagne, hanging out with her kids, espresso at sidewalk cafes, people watching, really fast express trains, and laughing like crazy – though not always in that order.
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!!
it was a good little story... i was confused on some parts because it felt like it would jump... but over all a good book and would like to see what happens next...
