This continues to be a fast-paced, enjoyable series full of intriguing world building, moral gray areas, and lots of steamy content. At this point, the characters are starting to blur together a bit in my mind, which is the main reason I’m going three stars. The bad-ass heroes and heroines need a bit more variance, and I wasn’t sure I entirely bought into Lore’s back story.
Lore is hired to kill someone that Ides must protect in order to earn her wings into heaven. She would kill Lore to stop him except — it turns out she has to protect Lore too. Lore is an assassin, but he’s not in it for the money — he’s in it for his sister’s freedom, which makes it tough to convince him to back off.
A one-off note: The titles for this series are seriously uninspiring. I guess they hold true, but they are so completely interchangeable. This is often a problem in romance, but not usually as much of a problem in paranormal romance.
I do continue to recommend this story to adult paranormal/urban fantasy fans.
Rating: 3/5
