Trinity Trespass
LGBT Paranormal. 45,000 words.
A secret war rages throughout the southwestern USA and Mexico between demons and angels, all of whom are trying to pass for human. For Parnell, a demon living in Las Vegas, survival depends upon following orders and resisting the allure of any relationship that might bind him to another in sexual slavery.
In his competitive world, he regards other demons such as his lover Navarro as potential opponents. As for the angels, he knows them as the Enslavers whose evil nature compels them to exploit the drug trade in Mexico. When Navarro and Parnell go to the no-man's land of New Mexico to capture a renegade angel-demon hybrid named Chavez, the three of them enter a triangle of powerful but uneasy sexual attraction.
Chavez hopes to seize psychic power on the auspicious day of Easter and use it to kill his current master. Parnell and Navarro must prevent this or face death and the return of their souls to Hell. To save himself, Parnell must decide whom to trust, whom to kill, and whether he can find the strength to give his heart to another.

Demons were freed from Hell by the first atomic bomb launched by J.Robert Oppenheimer at Trinity Site. Since then, they walk the earth among us, lead by their "higher-ups", the cadre, and fought every step of the way by their eternal enemies, the Angels. Demons and angels are connected by a kind of common mind, the Collective, an energy net through which they can sense each other's souls right down to detecting true feelings and lies. Only in New Mexico the Collective isn't as powerful as it is everywhere else; there is a border, set by the Cadre, to create a no-man's-land where neither angels nor demons are supposed to reign.
That is, in short, about the essence of the worldbuilding as I perceived it. A very interesting and unique concept. The author plays on the chords of Catholic lore, giving it some new twists which sometimes remind of "the Exorcist" and sometimes of the Matrix movies. For example, the angels are the bad boys here, since they obviously think they will return to Heaven when their physical body dies no matter what they do. The demons, fearing death since it means their return to Hell, seem to be much keener on balancing good and bad.
Since the worldbuilding is so complicated it was amazing how the author managed to get it across through the thoughts of Parnell, the 3rd person narrator, or through dialogue. Due to this, though, the book was also a bit slow to begin. Even one of the key events which happens early on is almost drowned under the need to get more information across.
Yet, after about one-third of the book, the picture is clear, and Parnell and Navarro take off like rockets. Those two are totally hot together, it was easy to buy the emotional passion which needed frequent release through wild sex (of which there is a lot from the very beginning). There was love and hate precariously balanced between them, underlined by Navarro's fierce loyality and Parnell's desperate need.
The third man, Chavez, remained a bit of a mystery. An angel-demon-hybrid, he's sought after by the Cadre after he has been used by the angels for several years. They suppressed his sexuality completely, and now, let loose, he makes up for lost time with Navarro and Parnell. Both were attracted to him and he to each of them, threatening to trip their power-play. In the end Chavez is still an outsider, but not because Navarro and Parnell make him, but because he simply is what he is.
This book is more about the world and characters than about plot (although there IS plot!). I think the author did a great job, and hope she won't let all that work go to waste by NOT writing a sequel. This cries for one.
An unusual, intriguing fantasy with speedy action and a lot of very passionate sex. Definitely recommended.

October 22, 2010I’m always a little anxious about reading the first books of people I’ve come to know in other capacities. I’m familiar with Val’s reviews, and she’s turned me on to several wonderful novels, so when she announced her new books, I was excited for her, but also nervous, because a good reader and reviewer doesn’t mean a good author, and I was not looking forward to figuring out what to say if I didn’t like her writing.
Much ado about nothing. Trinity Trespass is a wonderful first novel.
(minor spoilers ahead)
Parnell and Navarro are a pair of demonic lovers, released from hell during the testing of the first atomic bomb. In this world, demons and angels exist among humans (unknown to humans), residing mostly in the American southwest and northern Mexico (peripheral to the Trinity site). Demons, while not precisely good guys, have a strong moral streak (part of trying to avoid being consigned back to hell), and thus Parnell and Navarro find themselves defending the land, humans, and themselves against a population of angels who, by virtue of their assurance that they are already in heaven, can be downright sadistic in their pursuit of earthly delights. Their assignment: to travel to forbidden-zone New Mexico to track down and capture a rumored demon/angel hybrid and bring him back to demon HQ.
What I liked: The premise was fresh and interesting. The worldbuilding was wonderful, I enjoyed her characterization of the southwest. Full disclosure: I’ve spent a fair bit of my U.S. life in the southwest (NM) and have family there, so I love a story set there, especially when it gets it right. I also loved how Oppenheimer became a thread that wove itself into so many of the little pieces of this story.
I very much like the interaction between Parnell and Navarro. To harp on a theme of mine—the men are men, and I really appreciate that. The tension in the relationship was excellently done, and I liked that the relationship wasn’t sugary, but often antagonistic and what I might call morally ambiguous. Rough. I like rough. Not only in sex, but in environment, in characters, in all interactions.
I also liked Roberto, his character as well as the dynamics between the three of them. It's not that I go hunting for ménage, but when I find it done well, I very much enjoy it, because it’s a way of examining how a three-way relationship can work in a same-sex situation. Something that hetero stories can’t do (in the sense I mean). The dynamic here works well, with the three of them very similar men in some ways, but different, too, and throwing Roberto into the mix both ratchets up the tension and calms it as well.
My only gripe is one that I’ve seen others point out. Yes, the beginning of the story gets a little bogged down. Kovalin is squeezing so much information about the world into packets here and there, that the action ends up stalling for a while. To be fair, this is a well-known difficulty about writing non-contemporary novels. Scifi, fantasy, paranormal — unless you are following some pretty conventional tropes, getting needed information across is an incredibly difficult thing to do without slowing the story down. I know this, because it is what I try to write, and it is one of my biggest struggles—avoiding infodump. So it is not a back-handed compliment to say that for a first novel (especially), Val does a remarkable job. I’m sure that with practice, her skill at this will only improve, and I, for one, am glad that she didn’t hide this excellent novel away while perfecting her craft.
Bravo, Val.

Please let there be a sequel! I just couldn't get enough of our heroes, and have never seen such a conflicting mix of good and bad portrayed so convincingly in the characters Parnell, Chavez, and Navarro (upon whom I've developed a serous infatuation).
Amazing, enthralling world-building and conflicted, three dimensional characters, added to the tight, edge of your seat plot make this a "one-sitting" read.
This isn't your normal love story. T heir's is a relationship filled with power struggles, pride, one-upmanship and, under it all, a passion for each other that borders on addiction.
Hot sex, gripping plot, believable heroes (even if they are demons or demons/angel hybrids); what more could a reader ask for?

Val, if there is not a continuation of this story so that we can see what happens next in the life of these characters I am going to be SERIOUSLY PISSED OFF!

November 18, 2010It was not easy to enter in the fictional world Val Kovalin created with this story, but that is always the problem with a Fantasy setting (or at least, it’s my problem). Moreover, Val Kovalin chose also to unsettling our few certainties, our traditional belief that Angels are good and Demons are bad; truth, sometime there are Demons who behave as if they have regrets, but sincerely I had only one other experience with Angels that are not the good guys.
I think the main reason is that in this novel Angels are full of themselves, really presumptuous, and they are a bit too much sure they will go to Heaven, no matter what; Demons instead seem to not like the idea of Hell (and that is another novelty), and the threat to be killed and going to Hell is something that makes them wonder two time on their action.
Other than the novelty on the balance between Angels and Demons, there was also the fact that this story deals with what should have been ethereal creatures, above Angels, but instead put them in a gritty environment, made even more dusty from the choice of New Mexico: these characters are interacting in the middle of nowhere, far from what we usually consider civilization, and even if it’s not actually underlight, I had the strong impression to feel the hot weather, the sweat coming down from the back, and yes, even the smell. Sometime there was a reference or two to the necessity of a shower, to the fact that one of the character didn’t shave and so on; now in a contemporary setting this would be normal, but we are speaking of Angels and Demons, and so I read it as a way to make them more real, less ethereal.
By the way even the reason why they are in the real world, and not in Hell or Heaven, is due to a more than human action, the launch of the first atomic bomb by J. Robert Oppenheimer at Trinity Site, New Mexico, in 1945.
For this reason, it’s not strange that, aside from an adventure plot, the rescue of an half-breed Angel/Demon, Roberto Chavez, in the New Mexico territory, the main plot is the one happening between Parnell and Navarro. Both Demons and sometime working partners, Parnell and Navarro have also a tentative love relationship developing between them; only that Navarro tends to be the overprotective type, always trying to shelter Parnell from the big bad world, and Parnell is not the one to like being a submissive. Strange is that I didn’t mind Navarro’s attitude and truth be told, I didn’t read him as much as a Macho Man, but more like a man in love who is not used to be weak, since love is indeed a weakness. Sometime I wanted for Parnell to be more kind and attentive with Navarro, like if Parnell was the one in control and not viceversa.
There is a ménages going on among Navarro, Parnell and Chavez, but in the end, I think the real, and long-last relationship is the one between the original pair, Parnell and Navarro, and so the ménages was a nice addition, not an unsettling element.

Really unique plot and unusual characters
Warning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS.
Rating: 7/10
PROS:
- The plot seemed incredibly unique to me. I haven’t read many stories that are at all similar to this one. There’s something exotic about the overall story and its characters, and that is only increased by the matter-of-fact way in which mysterious details are revealed.
- I’ve read stories before in which one character wants a committed relationship and the other is hesitant. But it amused me that the guy in this one who is constantly backing away is always SO distracted by wanting the other guy, worrying about him, etc. It’s a good depiction of love that doesn’t realize it’s love.
- The sex scenes really worked for me. Much of the action--whether sexual or not--is motivated by one character getting mad at the other and acting out, but when they get past the initial anger-sex moments, the bedroom scenes have an element of tenderness to them.
- I appreciated Navarro’s stubbornness. Parnell does and says some cruel, hateful things to him in an attempt to hide his own feelings for Navarro. But Navarro is so in love that he brushes those things off time and time again.
CONS:
- The story contains so many unusual details that I had a bit of trouble following it now and then, especially at the beginning. There are a lot of characters introduced early on too, which increases the confusion.
- The characters’ actions often seemed odd to me, like I didn’t understand their motivations or have any idea what they were thinking. And they seemed to be manipulating each other almost constantly—even the two main guys, who are close friends and lovers.
- There’s a relationship development late in the story that I didn’t necessarily dislike, but I would have been more enthusiastically on board about it if I’d had some deeper insight into Navarro’s thoughts as well as Parnell’s (the whole story is told from Parnell’s point of view).
Overall comments: This has a really intriguing story, with an intricate and unique plotline. I doubt it’ll be a re-read for me simply because the relationship was a bit too tense for me to really enjoy, but I think the story is definitely worth a read. My primary thought during much of this story was “wtf?” penetrated by the occasional “oh, cool” or “wow, hot.”

Very well written debut novel about a pair of demons and the demon/angel hybrid they come into contact with. The world building was a bit intense at the beginning but once into the story the interesting, three-dimensional characters and the fast-paced, action-packed plot hooked me. I'd love to read more about these guys.
September 5, 2010
Excellent paranormal m/m romance about two demonic agents who have been sent to keep a unique demon-angel hybrid out of the hands of an evil angel. After the world "clicked" for me, both the fast-paced storyline and the complex relationship between the two agents kept me enthralled.
October 8, 2010
The action was great, kept the story moving. The relationship between Parnell and Navarro was complex and interesting, even more so when Roberto entered the picture. Now that the world's been built and the stage is set, I'm anxious to read more about these guys and their adventures!
September 12, 2010
Parnell and Navarro have been tasked to head into New Mexico and fetch a demon-angel hybrid and stop the “crime boss” who is after the hybrid. This is a very complex story which I’ll try to summarize but I know I’ll fail greatly. Parnell and Navarro are demons who are trying to police the angels who are the bad guys, think drug mafia in Mexico. New Mexico is a “holy site”, if you will, for demons and it has a force field around it. When Navarro and Parnell cross they are no longer connected to the collective and can’t feel each other’s thoughts. There is also the whole other plot of Navarro wanting a real relationship with Parnell and Parnell being paranoid about giving up something (although he’s not really sure what). So in parallel with finding the hybrid and stopping the bad guy there is a relationship power-play. I wanted to smack Parnell more than once. He was so freaking paranoid about everything he never shared information that practically got them all killed. His complete lack of trust made me a bit crazy. I have to say the scene with the two men and Sanchez, the hybrid, was HOT! For those who only like the two love interests together, you won’t find that here, but I’m really hoping that Val has a sequel up her sleeve because I definitely want to know what happens to the three now. If you like complex worlds with political intrigue and black and white being more shades of gray, I think you’ll love this one. Oh yeah, and hot smexin‘.
And I echo Kris. :-)

3.75 Stars - very close to 4 stars.
Lets start with the good stuff:
I am extremely impressed with this authors imagination the plot concept was something very new. You can see that the author has put alot of thought into the characters, the world building and the powers that the demons and angels have.
However there is some issues I have:
To be honest - this book is confusing alot of the time. I felt that we never fully explored issues before the plot moved on. It is this state of confusion for most of the book that stopped this book from being truly amazing. I cannot help feel that this would of benefitted from some serious rewrites. I think its important for any author to have a group of people they trust who they can send their books to for advice (workshop their manuscripts).
I do not know if this author did this but it feels like she didnt.
The very first page is more 'narrated' in its tone and I believe that it wasnt even necessary. I am a firm believer of showing a reader what is happening instead of dictating what is happening in stiff 3rd person narrative.
The story does settle down into a smoother style and I enjoyed the uniqueness of this story.
Please dont think I am being negative about this story - I really recommend this book !! But I am sad because I believe the author had an amazing idea but struggled to give it life. I hope that the author writes a sequel because I believe this world/plot has amazing potential.

I found this to be an enjoyable read after a first chapter that was just chock-full of info dumping and pace-slowing back story. Some of the info also seemed confusing and frankly, contradictory. I became impatient with wanting the story to move forward and once I overcame my surprise that angels are the bad guys in this universe, I found this an entertaining, emotionally satisfying read. The two lead characters are convincing and make you care. Not sure how the initial chapter could be reworked to flow better, but I would urge anyone who picks this up to keep this in mind. It's well worth it.

Very well-written, but ultimately felt...unfinished? Incomplete? If there's a sequel, that could explain it. I'd definitely read another book by her. As a first book, it was great.
