I really wanted to rate this book higher. I loved the first book in the series, but this one just never came together for me. I couldn't wait to finish it and that is why I had to give it only three stars.
This was a good second book to the Fallen Angel series. A lot of stuff happens in this book, that I'm obviously not going to mention. But to put things simply, Jim grows into his angel-ness, and even he and Eddie and Adrian grow a little closer.
The book took a while to actually take off. I had to force myself to read sometimes. All the while I was thinking "Which of the seven deadly sins is Isaac?" This question plagued me to the point where I had to go online and research a bit on each of the seven sins to make sure I wasn't missing something. But everything became clear in the late 300 pages of the book (I don't off hand remember the exact page number, just that it was later in the 300's lol). The answer hit me much like it probably hit the characters (plot-twist seems like too small of a word to describe this). Now I'm not saying things don't start happening until page 300-whatever. The book picks up a little before half-way. But give it a chance :) By page 300-whatever, you won't be putting it down.
You also see a lot of background on each of the characters, Devina especially. She is one hell of a bad guy (or woman... villaness....whatever). Again, I can't say much without giving away stuff but you can see more of her character (and see twisted she really is...) in this book.
I also liked how the first book and this book were connected. Jim asked Matthias for a favor in the first book, and Mathias in return tells Jim to go after Isaac. Say hello to the characters in book 2 :) Now this book, doesn't appear to lead into the third book much so it does leave me wondering how J.R. Ward will continue to flow the plot through the series like she did so splendidly so far in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series.
Overall, not a bad book. With the slowness of the beginning, plus I have a thing with the "falling in love in a matter of a few days" thing I'm kind of against in romances, I put this book at 3.5/5 stars. I liked learning more about Devina and Jim, plus seeing his relationship with Eddie and Adrian grow, as well, plus...that one plot-twist in page 300-whatever... that will leave you with a slack jaw for a while :) so this kept the rating a little more up for me.

Muito bom! Adorei este livro... O Isaac ganhou um cantinho ao lado do Tallon, Damon e Zsadist :D
Things are heating up in the race by Jim, Adrian, Eddie, and I suspect Dog to stop the deviously evil Devina. Some truly bad stuff happens in this book. Adrian and Eddie are my faves but the hero Isaac stole the show. He was lethal but he was also truly selfless and what a gentleman! Grier was strong independent and kind. A great re-read/listen.
These books are basically about the classic war between good and evil. There's many ways to tell the story. I've read quite a few myself already. But, given this particular scenario (outlined in the first book), you KNOW that in some books, like it or not, evil is going to win. Evil doesn't fight fair, evil cheats and unfortunately, sometimes there is nothing you can do.
What I like about these books so far, is how the author moves things around so that the outcome, while sad, isn't all that bad when you look at the big picture. Sure, we gotta try harder, we can't let this happen again (even though, it will....) but you can still smile when you finish the book because, it wasn't ALL bad. I don't mind hard books, sad books, difficult books, as long as I get a happy ending.
Which poses the question.. why do I still read the Game of Thrones books? Yeah, I can't answer that one.

A Crave Worthy Novel
I love J.R. Ward, Fallen Angel Series. Crave was the second installment of the Fallen Angels. It’s a fight against good and evil. Both sides are trying win over a human. Issac and Mathasis were the two characters that needed saving in this book. I won’t spoil it for you though.

In the middle of this book it dawned on me that I feel about JR Ward the same as I feel about Stephen King. Even when the language gets silly, they both tell a hell of a story. Get by the slang and the thought of a grown man thinking "ringy-ding-ding" when he gets a creepy feeling and the tale itself will defintely keep the pages turning.
I absolutely love her writing! 4 stars cuz we didn't win in this one but I'm sure the next will get 5 :D
