Synopsis
Angel Slayer
All her life, Eden Campbell had
dreamed of angels...but none that she painted was like the fallen angel who
attacked her. Eden was now to bear her attacker’s offspring—one who promised
the apocalypse and foretold her death. Where else could she turn but into the
arms of a mesmerizingly handsome angel slayer?
Fallen
Wanting to be a part of mankind, the
angel fell—losing his halo, the prize that held his earthbound soul. Now Cooper
must retrieve it. But wherever the Fallen walk, a Sinistari demon intent with
slaying one if not far behind. But first encounter with her leaves him
curiously hungering for more...
Ashes of angels
Cassandra Stevens had been warning
of the Fallen angel who’d one day come to impregnate her with a nephilim, an
evil offspring. But no one could have foreseen that Samandriel—the
raven-haired, silver-winged Fallen one—would sweep her off her feet. Sam
stirred her suppressed desire, yet for her own sake she dared not arouse his
carnal ones...
my Thoughts (review)
Angel Slayer [s; 282pp w/32 chaps: Eden & Asher’s story] this story was about love for a
muse (the female that would bear a fallen angels child) and a demon that was
sent to kill the Fallen.
As you can guess (if you didn’t
already know) these stories are all about angels, and I’m not there number one
fans, but I like that they made the fallen evil. I liked that fact being that
they would have been especially when they take the fallen from the time when
Lucifer was meant to have started his war (I think, honestly, not a biblical
fan either and what little I know I’d like to keep it that way—hard when I keep
picking up angel books)
So the first story (as stated above,
because that last bit was for the 3 books) is sweet, with a male that’s
overbearing, mean, as well as protective of the one thing he isn’t sure he
wants and yet that’s mostly because of past transgressions.
It starts with Below telling us all
about the fact that he doesn’t feel anything, doesn’t know what’s going on, or
when it is and precedes into him finding the muse and finding something in her
that he can’t seem to leave, and that to me was as shock, I would never have
guessed it until that moment that they all did. And it was done in that way
that if you could keep up, and think ahead you understood and you followed and
yet we all wanted to shot for answers.
I did however find that the Edan to
be very slow for how intuitive she had been some many other times in the books,
and I’m not talking about the sad stuff that anyone, no matter how smart you
are would hide from yourself to make you life so much better. Though her love
of the beast is something even if he doesn’t see it and her getting him what he
truly desires above all others is remarkable and so well set up that she isn’t
fully aware of doing it in the first place.
Oh, oh (for the series) the design
of the angels is beautiful and so well written that the pictures in your own
mind are nearly as beautiful as on the canvas she uses. It’s really well
designed graphically and even more so the way about them. The in’s and out of
their physical and mating body. Huaf
really has a way with writing the way the angels looks that makes you
passionate about them as much as I’m sure she is.
Fallen [s; 286pp w/25 chaps: Copper & Pyx’s story] this is a love story that gets to
you. A female demon who isn’t quite sure why. A fallen angel that knows more
about her than anyone else. And a quest in killing the Fallen.
It was original in a way I didn’t
expect it to be, and it was a love that was so open and there, right from the
beginning, that all they had to do was give in. and just when they were about
to...bam his muse came into the picture. I absolutely love when that happened.
When he looked at her and felt the connection. How no matter how hard he tried
he couldn’t let her go when his mind was screaming at him to have her.
I really liked the whole deal with
them getting—um, never mind, too much of spoilers, but I loved the end, love
how it all came together with complications. I think because all the facts
about the angels and demons was already sitting in my head when I started
reading this one that I didn’t really have to pay all that much attention to
is, like I did the first book.
Ashes of Angles [s; 243pp w/21 chaps: Cassandra & Sam’s story] sorry guys but I just couldn’t read
this one. I tried, getting to chapter four before I just couldn’t read anymore.
Mostly it was because of Cassandra. She was just one of those characters that
rubbed on the wrong side of my nerves, like nails down a chalk board or
something. She.... yeah, and the fact that it was a book about angels and the
main story line wasn’t interesting enough to get my interest set. I just couldn’t
read any more.
I did, however, really like Sam, so
that was a bonus, though he had to be that type of man to have a woman like
Cassandra as his soul mate. See, what I mean, it was too predictable, them as a
couple, and even more so, the other characters around them.
It just wasn’t the book for me. But
I’m sure it was just as good as the
first two, being mostly it was written the same way and all. But, yeah...not
for me.
