Description

Leader of the most powerful army in the heavens, Zacharel has been deemed nearly too dangerous, too ruthless -- and if he isn't careful, he'll lose his wings. But this warrior with a heart of ice will not be deterred from his missions at any cost…until a vulnerable human tempts him with a carnal pleasure he's never known before.

Accused of a crime she did not commit, Annabelle Miller has spent four years in an institution for the criminally insane. Demons track her every move, and their king will stop at nothing to have her. Zacharel is her only hope for survival, but is the brutal angel with a touch as hot as hell her salvation -- or her ultimate damnation?

Review

My friends have been after me to read more Gena, so I’ve decided that I will try to read through at least two of her series this year. The first was supposed to be Lords of the Underworld. But then I found this book! And now, I am completely hooked! So hooked that I just bought almost all of the LOTU books so I can sit and devour them at the next opportunity. I am so in love!

Gena’s writing really pulls you into the story and makes you feel a part of it. I can’t tell you how many times I almost jumped out of my seat or yelled out loud over something happening in the book. In my opinion, that alone made this a fantastic read! I love books that yank me in and keep me there from the first page to the last. I also fell in love with the characters! I’m not very familiar with the LOTU characters because I’ve only read a couple of the short stories in anthologies and the first book in the series but even with that, I still was able to follow along well and didn’t get confused. What I did get was insanely curious about the books before this one, so I HAVE to read them now! ;)

As far as the two main characters go they were great! I LOVE Zacharel, it’s very rare to find a hero like him! I’ve never been much into “Angels” in romance but he has changed my feelings on them. I want more! And oh man, I loved Annabelle too! She has to be one of my favorite heroines now! Even after all she has been through, and let me tell you, it’s a lot, she’s still able to hold her head up and fight back! I loved that about her!

This was a great read, in every way! The story is action packed with lots of demon fighting and bad-boy angels! I absolutely fell in love with these characters and the story is a heartbreaking but also a very sweet and emotional adventure for two people just trying to escape torture! I recommend everyone pick up not just this book, but others from this author! She is quickly becoming a favorite for me!

I should also comment a little about the audio book since I listened to most of this one. I like the narrator, which is rare for me. I can't stand boring narrators and this one wasn't boring at all.
