Angels and Ministers of Grace
[Out of "Print": see ASIN B007MCQOIG]
Anya Vaedrin is a woman of extraordinary talents. A singer by trade, she has earned the nickname Angel with her voice, her white hair, and deep blue eyes--and a secret. In a time when telepaths hold positions of power and empaths are their weak discards, Anya is an explosive mix of the two talents. Able to both read emotions and cause others to feel anything she wishes, from joy to fear and pleasure to pain, Anya is a new breed that the telepaths would give anything to possess--or destroy. Pursued to the ends of human occupied space by a telepathic assassin, Anya has one last hope of safety before she must brave alien territory. Far Reach Station is known for its liberal policies towards alien species, but would they give sanctuary to one of their own when she is wanted by the Telepath Guild? Anya's prospects seem grim when she is confronted by Jason Salvatore, the surly second in command of the station. And Captain Marta Jamison makes the station a dubious refuge when it becomes clear that she has an agenda all her own.

Michelle O'Leary has written a great Sci-Fi adventure and love story with her second novel Angels and Ministers of Grace. All the characters-whether human or alien-are well written and come to life on the pages. The worlds she creates for her characters have the complexities that Sci-Fi lovers enjoy, and the romance that evolves between Anya and Jason is a wild ride itself! Full of emotion, world-building, and alien creatures, this is a wonderful story to curl up with and read in one sitting.

I really enjoyed this sci/fi romance. A much needed break from the angsty reads I'm indulging lately.
Is there gonna be a book about the Thlassians? Freaking awesome alien race! I'm intrigued!

What a great read! Great story, awesome, characters. Will be looking for more stories by this author. The sci - fi part of the story was well thought out, fun, and well written. The romance was also fun and didn't take over the story. Highly recommend for sci -fi lover's who like a great story, excellent characters and a nice romance added to the mix.

I read this book a little over a year ago, and I still find myself thinking about the story! I can still remember the engaging love story and the suspenseful plot, and where there are holes in my memory I find myself dying to read it all over again! This book is definitely a favorite of mine, and I will be reading more books by Michelle O'Leary for sure. If you're a fan of PNR and sci-fi, you need to check this one out!!

August 14, 2018My favorite part about writing this book was (as always) playing with the character interactions, but I'm also delighted with the plot twists and turns. Romance, intrigue, fascinating aliens, a powerful heroine, and a gorgeous, stubborn hero--what a delirious mix. Even though I'm the writer, I often re-read this book just for the fun of it!
