I seem to love everything I read from Elizabeth Hunter. The storyline is refreshingly different and flows well. I loved both the heroine and hero. The supporting cast is outstanding. The ending killed me and I can't wait to start the next book.
Audible - There's no other male narrator I love more Zachary Webber. He brings a new element to any book.

I enjoyed this; it was an original story set in a unique world involving descendants of angels. I had some minor issues:
• Insta-love: once they got together, it was too much too fast
• The pacing was slow at some points, and I was a little bored
• The giant cliffhanger

Páni, ještě jsem nečetla tak dobrý příběh z prostředí Istanbulu!
Ok Ok, tenhle byl můj první. Ale stejně!
Proč to nezná víc lidí?
Sledujte.
Ženská, co umí používat hlavu. Juch juch.
Týpek, co se umí ohánět zbraněmi.
Nějaké to tajemstvíčko a osud vyvolených, extra sympatický svět s magií (možná složen z ústřižků z jiných knih... ale whatever, bavil mě) a spousta pusinek -_-
No jo. Jej, kdyby se to v poslední třetině tak nepřeláskovalo (což vadí mi, vám nebude), dám i 4*.
Rozhodně se těším na díl číslo 2. Zajímá mě, co si autorka vymyslí.

EDIT - O necelé dva roky později:
Hm, dospěla jsem jsem k závěru, že jsem se na díl číslo dvě netěšila tak rozhodně, když jsem se k němu dosud nedostala a už asi ani nikdy nedostanu. :D

Two stars because of a very common very copouty trope just at the end there, the all-around hated and as a cliff hanger another similarly cheap trope has been foreshadowed, the .
Why, oh why. It felt so unnecessary.
I was a little upset at the story because it felt so pointless but I somewhat admired the book for actually going there at first but, no. I guess not. Just cheapened the book. A LOT. BOOO.
Apart from this main point of frustration, the book was a bit oversaturated with the destined Mates trope and the plot was a bit thin as the romance took a lot of page-time but there wasn't any major flaw anywhere.
The magic is of the fast and loose kind that probably can do everything the plot requires at the time.
It's all rather formulaic so far but not to a point where it feels like a ripoff.
There wasn't really any novel stuff but I guess I am a bit jaded regarding this genre group.
Initially, we have a classing good vs evil setup but the foreshadowing gives a hint to a more layered conflict. I really hope the series goes there. I've seen this a lot. Some hinting at a more layer conflict but then it turns out its just a question of when you can sort the in-between people into their respective categories of good and evil.
That is not nuance. That is just withholding information from the reader to trick them. But you'll have to pay for false promises eventually.
From what I've read from the author so far, nuance is rather unlikely.
Apart from the ending, this could've been a high 3-star book even if the series doesn't look as promising.
I might look into the next one but it will probably end up as dnf.

3.5 stars.
I really enjoyed this book and it had a pretty unique plot. Most PNR annoys the heck out of me with the instant love mate for life alpha male/perfect woman with a surprise amazing power stuff. Although this book had some elements of that it was not insta-love and I liked the characters, it was done in a non annoying way. I liked the mythology that was made up for this book which involves descendants of humans and angels both fallen(some evil/some iffy)and forgiven angels who returned to heaven after begetting children. The fact that I'll go right on to the next book says a lot as I don't make it past the first book in very many series now days. It is a cliffhanger and the mystery is not tied up in the first book so that helps though. I have to find out what happens next!

In a sense something enitely new to me and in any other sense another book about angels. Good and bad. I did like the relationship dinamics here a lot and all the mate for life thing. What i didnt enjoy was the ending. It was very unexpected which certanly is not a bad thing like ever, but on the other hand it was very jerky and rushed and not well played out. I get that she could have had any powers, but was it that necessary to revive him at the END already after just some pages of grieving? All and all a very good read.
