This made for some interesting clashes between Thane, who is a sort of angel-on-probation, and the Phoenix warriors.Įlin was a great lead character who had been through much emotional and physical trauma, but she remained feisty even when terrified. I was particularly interested in the Phoenix’s ability to burst into flame upon destruction and emerge stronger. The worldbuilding in the novel is unique, populated by various groups of immortals each with its own strengths and weaknesses. It was nice to see some familiar characters pop in for a visit. The Angels of the Dark series is somewhat of a spinoff of the Lords of the Underworld series and there is some crossover in this book. And Thane’s home may not be nearly as safe as it seems. But the Phoenix have not forgiven the escapees nor forgotten them. Elin still mourns the loss of her husband in the Phoenix attack, but she cannot deny her attraction to the arresting angel. Once their escape has been made, Thane takes Elin back to his home, providing her with a job and living accommodations. So when she witnesses Thane making a bid for freedom, she decides assisting his escape may be her ticket out of the horror her life has become. Elin is treated abominably by these immortals, subjected to unimaginable cruelty for her mere existence. Also being held captive is Elin Vale, a half-Phoenix/half-human who had the misfortune of being captured after witnessing the Phoenix slaughter most of her family. Thane is a ruthless angel currently being held in captivity by the equally ruthless Phoenix clan, a group of immortals with the ability to burn into ash and rise again even stronger. But Thane's unwavering determination to protect her means she must face her greatest fears-and enter a world in which passion is power, and victory means breathtaking surrender.What happens when a not-quite-fallen angel held captive by a group of Phoenix falls for the Phoenix-human hybrid who helps him escape? Sparks fly and worlds collide as they attempt to come to terms with their feelings for one another in this fun paranormal romance. Elin Vale has her own deep-rooted scars, and her attraction to the exquisite warrior who freed her challenges her every boundary.
And as he unleashes his fury on his most recent captor, he learns no battle could have prepared him for the slave he rescues from his enemy's clutches-a beauty who stokes the fires of his darkest desires. A tormented past has left Thane with an insatiable need for violence, making him the most dangerous assassin in the skies. New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter returns with a sizzling Angels of the Dark tale about a winged warrior renowned for his ruthlessness, and the woman who becomes his obsession.
