Hunted down the preceding story. Then proceeded to devour every paranormal romance book she has. Love them. Really. Thanks for reviewing this story! It was really delicious, and the sequel is stunning. I'd never given much though to Angels before as sexy alpha males, but yum. I loved this book so much. Hunted down the preceding story.

It is an exciting read, a thoroughly implausible tale in the best Commando Comic style, but there are spelling mistakes, some anomalies within the text, and yes there are some very odd descriptive words. Could have been 9/10 but only 7/10 because of the errors. Can I volunteer to be the proofreader for the next book.

There are so many issues in this book that you could talk about. Middle England,global politics etc I thought the structure & suspense was impressive. I have an issue with the depiction of Nigerian men,the only ones we come across are barbaric commiting crimes of extreme violence without conscience. I know this is within the parameters of the story & it is a story. It would have been a counterbalance to have had some male Nigerian characters showing compassion. That said it is one of the most interesting books I have read in a long time. To me it interweaved genres,from serious political commentary,chick lit & comedy.Something I have never come across before. Some books make good films & I think this is one of them. Hopefully it will come to the attention of film makers. I was recommended this book by a friend.I finished it in two days.
