review 1: "Angeli - The Pirate, the Angel & the Irishman" is a novel that delivers a blend of genres that works surprisingly well. It's really unlike any novel I've read, with elements of contemporary-urban fantasy, mystery, and romance. It's set in various time periods and locations, from modern New Jersey to 18th century Jamaica.Vansant penned an eclectic and original cast of characters. (Angels and pirates is not a combination that usually comes to mind.) My favorite character is Con Carey because of his spunky attitude and his strange existence (he has to inhabit someone else's body to communicate with others). The plot of this book is relatively fast-paced, and the mystery element makes you want to not stop reading. Because of the many points of view and time periods, the plot ... moreis very engaging.Admittedly, I wondered how Vansant could juggle all the characters and locations. Thankfully, she did an excellent job making the story flow well and not get confusing. One of my favorite aspects of the book is the humor. There's a scene toward the beginning of the book involving my favorite character and Irish whiskey that made me chuckle out-loud. If you're looking for an eclectic novel with elements from multiple genres, I'd recommend this novel to you.
review 2: Angeli-The Pirate, the Angel and the Irishman is a wonderful story that plays with several genres mixing them perfectly. This story boasts everything from fantasy and suspense to time traveling with some history thrown in. Our main heroine is Anne Bonny, a 300 year old pirate turned Sentinel tasked with the protection of humans and destroying evil angels aka perfidia. Anne doesn't do this job alone, with the help of her Arch Angel Michael, fellow Sentinel Con and assistant Jeffrey she travels the world tracking down evil. Michael is the handsome angel who has an off and on again relationship with Bonny, not sure how to or if he wants to have a real relationship with her. Poor Con wants to be with Bonny but has some issues keeping his hands on a body;). Jeffrey is very much the comic relief, he's young, obsessed with pirates and not afraid to pull pranks on our heroine from time to time. The story starts out in the present introducing our heroine and what she's up to in the world today, but quickly slips into the past. For the first portion of the book the story stays in the past and moves forward quickly jumping from one event to the next. It's super easy to follow though because Mrs. Vansant has made them appear like journal entries providing dates and places so we know what's going on. During this time we learn how Bonny became a sentinel and how her relationship with each man progressed. i thought it was a wonderful idea to fill out the background this way, you get everything you need to know and see how Bonny changes over time. Anne Bonny is probably one of the best, if not THE best Sentinel the Angels have working for them, but all her talents may not be enough to beat this new foe. It's present time and a mass graveyard holding hundreds of bodies is found underground, only problem is there's no way in our out. They're not facing another normal perfidia anymore, this monster is nothing like anyone has ever seen before. While everyone's trying to hunt it down and figure out what it could be, it's got it's eyes set on Anne Bonny.Angeli-The Pirate, the Angel and the Irishmen has become a new favorite of mine! I love the mix of characters and the fun that comes along with them. It's such a fun idea to mix pirates, angels and irishmen together and move together through history and see what happens. Mrs. Vansant did a marvelous job creating a great story that leaves you wanting more. She's created a fantastic blend of mystery, action and humor in this quirky tale of a Pirate Sentinel. I received this ebook in exchange for an honest review, these opinions are my own. ;) less

What Amy Vansant has created in Angeli - The Pirate, the Angle &the Irishman is a world that his wholly unique and a bit addictive. I really wasn't sure what to expect going in and was very pleasantly surprised. It really does have a bit of everything. It's a fantasy book, but it's funny. It's a romance book, but it's got a great mystery plot line and the characters were dynamic (my favorite of which was Michael). I read a lot of books in a lot of different genre's and this is one of the very few that I could see lining the bookstore shelves because it's a world that is well thought out and would have wide spread appeal. Great read.

I was offered a free copy of this book on my kindle in exchange of a review. I really enjoyed this book its about Anne Bonny the pirate who gets turned into a Sentinel after she almost dies and has to spend the rest of her life chasing angels that have become corrupted. The story moved at a nice pace and I really enjoyed the characters. I especially loved Con but I have a thing for Irish and Scottish characters in books. I would definitely recommend it if you like paranormal romances. If there's a sequel I definitely want to read it.
