I have a new favourite series! This is a wonderful introduction to the lightening struck and the plot is great. Lily is down to earth and slightly different to the usual heroine. The OCD quirk is fab. I instantly had to buy the next instalment as I didn't want the story to end!

Really enjoyed this book. Interesting world building. Characters are well developed so the reader binds with them. Lots of hints for what’s to come in future books.

I liked how the author set up how super naturals are in the world. It was an interesting read and showed the first story on one couple with other stories to be about the other couples. It was a quick read. It should be interesting to see what connections are made and who is drawn into this series. The main characters had good points and bad points that happened as would in real life instead of glossing over some of it. It gave a better connection to them. I will be looking for more in this series.

Easy read, simple and nice. Nothing earth shattering but enjoyable if you're looking for something light and not too deep!

I enjoyed the plot and the characters of Dust of My Wings but it lost a star for not having been copyedited - "vile" and "vial" are NOT interchangeable and that's just one of the most egregious examples. I have come to terms with the fact that books are going to have a typo or two in them - if bestsellers have them then midlist books will as well. Fine. But Dust of My Wings didn't seem to have been professionally edited at all and it kept throwing me out of the story. I wanted to be immersed in this world of angels and other immortal races as they hide from humans but I couldn't because every time I started to sink into it, I flinched at the errors in spelling, grammar, etc. Which is really too bad because the plot and characters seemed great. I love Carrie Ann - I think she's funny, sweet, and has great stories in her head that I'd love to read but no author is perfect and everyone needs editing. As a reader, it's frustrating to read a book that hasn't been through that most basic process on the journey to being published.
