One Book Away From an Episode of Hoarders
I enjoy horror, thrillers, urban fantasy, steampunk, science fiction, mystery, speculative and dystopian fiction, humor, and paranormal romance (I like more plot than smut in my fiction, although I'm definitely not a prude) among others.
about me In October, every October, I marathon 100+ horror movies so I'm not as active that month or November either (NaNoWriMo).
My rating system is as follows:
1 star - I'd like my time back, thank you.
2 stars - I didn't care for it but I don't feel cheated. I'm not likely to subject myself to any of this author's other works.
3 stars - I enjoyed my time in the story and will more than likely read another book by the author some day.
4 stars - I really enjoyed this story and will definitely be interested in anything else the author writes.
5 stars - The real world didn't exist while I was reading this. I will likely maim anyone who interrupts me while I'm devouring everything in this author's bibliography
It started off interesting enough. It reminded me a bit of the old tv show, Dead Like Me. Reapers=Agents in charge of ushering the departed to The Door. I loved Beezle, I'd love to have my own snarky but sweet gargoyle. I'm not a huge fan of "angels" in books but there have been a few exceptions. This is one of them. I like the Nephilim idea (though not a unique idea of itself) and I like this incarnation. I liked Gabriel, and I'm not happy that he has that whole "issue" that keeps him and our main character apart. I really REALLY don't like Nathaniel.
I like the way the fallen angels were portrayed, not good or evil but certainly lacking any humanity.
If you asked me if I was going to continue the series at page 100, I would've given you an apathetic maybe and rated it a 3*. At page 200 though, I was hooked and continued to read (with the book hidden under my desk) well after my lunch hour was finished just so I could see what was going to happen next.
I will definitely read the next in the series, sooner rather than later.
