My Review
(Originally Reviewed on Mrs. Papillion aka “The Book Worm”)
This review is a little different I’m not going to go over the story, but what I loved about the book the most.
Everyone has their own opinion on angels and demons. Some people didn’t like this novel due to how Stephanie Chong betrayed the world of Angels and Demons. Me, personally from the first page to the last page of this novel….I was BEYOND interested. I had a hard time putting down this book. I finished this book at one is in the morning. I was determined to find out what happened next and what would happen to the characters. I wanted a happy ending already.
First and foremost I have to say this…this book has become my FAVE of 2011. It may have surpassed “The Mummy” by Anne Rice which is my ALL time favorite book I’ve ever read. I will say this…the series will probably become my FAVE once the 2nd book comes out.
Stephanie Chong has a LIFETIME Fan now. I love her writing style. I loved the characters in this book. I especially think that Julian may have become my #1 Sexy Male Character who I wouldn’t mind knowing in REAL Life. I will say this he can compare to my hubby when it comes to certain things. I will give you a hint…I loved how Julian made sure to take care of Serena’s needs before his own…Now that reminds me of my Hubby. =)
I loved the trials that characters went through in this book too. Serena had no idea what she was in for when she met Julian the first time in his club. Julian had no idea an Angel would change his world after 200 years wreaking havoc.
My favorite part in this book though would have to be the sex scenes. Yummy, sexy, heated sex scenes between a Demon and Angel. What more could you ask for in a book? Throw in how much they love each other…and you got yourself a Good vs. Evil that ends up being a TRUE LOVE story that no one can stop from happening, not even the characters can stop from loving each other.
I recommend this book to anyone who loves Paranormal Romance and loves Angels and Demons as much as I do. I look forward to the next book in the series.
I hope the Villains in this book get a book too. I would love for Corbin to change into something GOOD also. I know he has a soft heart somewhere in there.
**I will be buying this book eventually and adding to my collection at home.” =)
I guess I should type a bio here. I'm FranJessca, or Fran for short. I'm the owner/reviewer behind A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog. I've been reading and reviewing books on my blog since leaving the Navy in 2011, and I will keep doing it as long as possible. My favorite genres will always be Romance & Fantasy, and I read every subgenre underneath those two genres. (Sorry, not a fan of nonfiction, so don't try to convince me to read it.)
My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
