review 1: This book is part scifi, part romance and part fantasy. It tells the story of a future when the veil has been ripped between worlds. Humans, demons, fey, dragons and others creatures out of myth and legend are battling each other for space and power. Ayla is an assassin for the fey and is half faery and half human. She is sent on assignment where she meets Malachi, a dark angel. By touching him, she causes him to fall and he decides to get his revenge. Of course they fall in love.This book had so much potential but just didn't reach it. The concepts were interesting but it didn't explore what was truly intriguing. Character development was the books biggest downfall. The story takes place over a handful of days, yet characters radically change going from one extreme to ano... morether. Given all that, it wasn't a bad read just one that sadly disappoints. Two and a half stars from me.
review 2: What I really liked about this book is that it has followed the recent trend toward realism when telling about faeries - that is, that faeries are beautiful, but in many cases terrible, creatures. They aren't all love and light and cute and sweet, that is for sure! In this world, they are separated into Lightworld and Darkworld, although the humans have forced all of them Underground after the veils of reality have been rent asunder. Ayla is a half-human/half-faery assassin. When she is stalked by a Death Angel, the unfathomable occurs - when the Death Angel touches her, he becomes mortal. The touch of mortal skin - even just half-human - is like a poison to him. Although Ayla is bound by geis to kill him - as Death Angels are considered part of the Darkworld - she is unable to do so now that he is helpless. Thus begins a strange relationship between the two of them, leading them to forge a bond that neither of them may survive. I really enjoyed this first book in a series - I actually devoured it in a single evening's reading. Quite probably I will read it again once I get the next book in the series. For those who enjoy paranormal romance, dark urban fantasy and the like, you will love this book and (quite likely, based upon this book) this whole series. I know I'm looking forward to the rest. less
