review 1: So here's the deal. I got into this book as soon as I started reading. It grabbed me, and I was in disbelief with how well it was written and how evocotive the characters were.Then it happened. The story took a nose dive. It lost me completely. I got bogged down in itself (I think the writer got bogged down in the story.)I sat it aside 3 times and tried to go back to it. I was unable to make more than a few pages again before I had lost all interest and had to set it aside.I really had lost all hope for the book. It made me sad, due to the strong beginning.Then it happened. The story got good again. Not just a little good, but extremely good. It became the page turner I had wanted it to be all along.Then ending... um. No spoilers, is my belief, but... but... damn. I hav... moreen't secided if I liked it or not. I'll see how I feel after I read it again. (Yes, I will read it again.)
review 2: For a while I didn't like the heroine. She pines over her lost angel lover, but then we learn she stole a lover from her best friend... and felt entitled doing so. That nearly had me dropping the book. Overall, the story was interesting (though the ending predictable) with an intricate dance of angels and demons battling over human souls. Gerlach creates a world where reality crosses with religious beliefs creating corporeal creatures of pure good and pure evil. The writing is tight and, even though I didn't like the heroine, the conflict was imaginative and drew me in. I would try another book by this author. less
