Since humans are freaking awful, Eleanore's spent the better part of her 25 years dodging shady government vehicles containing men in suits with nefarious collections of needles. Uriel meets Eleanore as his human alias, Christopher Daniels, the sexiest goddamn movie star in the whole world. He comes onto Eleanore fast and hard, but she's unsure about who to trust. You see, the archangels have a nemesis, some angel with daddy issues and probably a really tiny peen named Samael who's determined to win Ellie for himself through any means possible. Naturally, Samael's antics lead to a menagerie of male posturing, growling, and tug-of-warring over the pretty new girl thingy. I don't think that this book meant to be sexist. Several times, Ellie even complains about her destiny with Uriel robbing her of the choice to live her own life with her own choices. Incidentally, the prose is so damn pleased with itself when it describes these totally hot archangels and all of their super-alpha powers and their maneuvering of this kind of boring girl that my sexism detector starting blaring louder than a virgin heroine experiencing her first orgasm. All you have to know now is that I think this book is accidentally sexist. Wait, no. It had to be intentional. Screw it. The bad guys are supernaturally beautiful and powerful. They're all great lovers. Apparently, the Old Man didn't use much creativity when he created his perfect celestial beings, nor did he know that different races are a thing. I suppose the one thing I can't use against the archangels is that they're so freaking dumb that bees can likely buzz in one ear of their celestical craniums and out the other in record time. Samael's pretty smart, but he's also an infantile asshat with an inferiority complex. The Repetition: I lost count of how many times the male beauty was mentioned. Eleanore spends a majority of the text distracted by the "handsome," "gorgeous," or "beautiful" men and often mulls over the way their muscles "ripple," "flex," or "bulge" under their extra-tight shirts. Uriel always wears a tight thermal, and for god's sake, I don't know how any being can flex as often as he does from the amount of times his muscles are mentioned. That has to be exhausting! However, Eleanore isn't the only one who mentions how super-hot all the penis-wielders are in this book. The men do it, too! No matter whose perspective is used, it must be repeated how sexy and perfect the stupid guys are. Eleanore is Useless in Comparison to the Supermen: At first, I was excited that Eleanore got special powers of her own. I hate it when a book makes me feel naive. Eleanore can influence the weather with her emotions; the boys have control over the elements. Adding powers to the characters exponentially doesn't make for a very interesting story. Uriel the Vampire: My main complaint is that there's no indication on the blurb that this turns into a freaking vampire story. I was willing to let it slide at first because it seemed like vampirism would be very difficult and very painful for Uriel. The characters pass around the Stupid Ball in this story constantly. I honestly don't know how any of the boys learned to tie their shoes. It made me sick. Here's a book from , and it's still clear that people - both men AND women - don't fully understand consent. It pains me to do this, but the only way to get my point across is by posting quotes. The point of the scene is apparently that Uriel is so overcome with lust for Eleanore and vampiric bloodlust that he can't help himself. The bad writing speaks for itself, but the content is even worse. Read at your own risk: "Coherent thought all but left him as he turned to the bed and threw her down onto her stomach in the center of the bed. He was on top of her, pressing her into the quilt before she could gain any leverage. He cut off her mobility. What a charmer! Uriel uses vampiric mind control during this scene, telling her to "trust" him and to submit. But maybe Uriel doesn't realize what he's doing. Maybe this a misunderstanding There was nothing left in him but a dominant vampire, an archangel who needed his archess, and a determination that forced his will upon the woman trapped beneath him. He ends up tearing off her clothes, all while she's immobile. I will admit that Eleanore's apparently super turned-on by this, which is kind of hard to believe considering that she's often afraid of him and also a year-old virgin who only received her FIRST KISS a couple days ago from Uriel. But yes, I'll be fair, the interaction is supposed to be sexy. Don't try to get away, do you understand? Uriel's hand was out from between them and once more wrapped around her throat in a flash. He used it to pull her up and against him, squeezing in warning. I don't care if your name is Admiral Sexy Beast and your bowel movements give women orgasms. Fucking shenanigans. Isn't this basic stuff? You know, like how we've collectively decided not to stab our loved ones with steak knives. Some things just don't fall in my gray area. To add insult to injury, he's a total dick about Ellie's grip on the headboard. Is that what happens if an archess disobeys her archangel, or is this just an asshole vampire thing? Uriel eventually grabs her by the hair and yanks her head back so he has access to the veins in her neck. I'd just like to SEE my husband try to grab me by the hair. Oh, but he wouldn't try something like that. In one clean, driving shove, he ripped through her virginity and rendered it in two. My rage has yet again reached a boiling level, so I won't share anymore quotes with you. You should know that when Ellie finally loses grip on that freaking headboard, Uriel ends up biting and feeding from her. I'm pretty sure romance is dead now. It may never recover from the bad vibes this book put out into the universe. You may be relieved to learn that Ellie has an earth-shattering orgasm from being turned into Uriel's chew toy and kneeling submissive. I'm not relieved, though. I'm just done with the godawful book and its godawful message. If the writing had been decent, perhaps the romance wouldn't have turned into an American Horror Story, but I can only judge on what was presented to me. I wouldn't recommend this book to my cats. They have more respect for people than the hard-bodied arch"angel" Uriel has for the love of his life in this book. So this is apparently my limit - rape disguised as romance. Good to know. Utter crap. C'est fin. View all 74 comments. He pointed to four stars in the sky that shone brighter than the others. He told the archangels that he wished to reward them for their loyalty and had created for them soul mates. Four perfect female beings— archesses. However, before the archangels could claim their mates, the four archesses were lost to them and scattered to the wind, beyond their realm and reach. The archangels made the choice to leave their world, journey to Earth, and seek out their mates. For thousands of years, the archangels have searched. But they have not searched alone. For they are not the only entities to leave their realm and come to Earth to hunt for the archesses. They were followed by another. Names, titles, powers, abilities… I felt like I needed to take notes just so I could follow along. I don't want to have to stop and think, 'Wait, which angel is that? Yet, I feel the need to mention that I found there to be a lot of repetition in places, so maybe that was the author's way of trying to help us remember those details? Now for the good stuff! It was fast paced and action packed, and with bad guys coming out of the woodwork our Archangels were kept on their toes! Uriel suddenly became this incredibly sexy, alpha being who was protective and tormented… and I fell hard for him. Ellie, his archess, is a female who had her own brand of tormented to deal with, and I loved how they finally came together, a perfect match. His jaw dropped open. Not now. Not here, in a bathroom — after two thousand years. No, that was impossible. He was relatively invincible. Being hit on the head would do nothing to him but make him a little cranky. She was really standing there before him. She was real; he could see her, hear her— he could even smell her. She smelled like shampoo and soap and lavender. Jesus, he thought, unable to refrain from letting his gaze drop down her body and back up again. She was everything that he had ever imagined she would be, from her tall, slim body to her long jet- black hair, and those indigo blue eyes the color of a Milky Way night. Her skin was like porcelain. Her lips were plump and pink and framed perfect, white teeth. She was an angel. She was his archess. And she was. I'm excited by the groundwork that has been laid for the future books, and I'm really looking forward to reading more about Michael, Gabriel, Azrael and their Guardian, Max, and even Samael, one very bitter angel known as The Fallen One. They each have their own demons to battle and I can't wait for their stories. I have no doubt whatsoever that this will be an awesome series, one I have every intention of continuing. I wish to thank Signet Eclipse and netgalley. View all 15 comments. Everywhere I turned it seemed to be getting such rave reviews. I'm not sure what book they were reading but it definitely wasn't this book. Don't get me wrong, this book is not in any way horrible, it actually has a lot of potential. I just am at a point that I'm just so frustrated with how things are playing themselves out that I just can't physically pick it up right now. This book actually had me tossing my Kindle onto the table in frustration. The premise behind this series is really good. I love the idea of four different archangels that have come to earth to find their achess their soulmate created just for each of them. In fact I loved the first quarter of this story. It's fast paced and action packed. I start to have problems a little before midway and then they just seem to keep piling themselves on one after another. I think there is just too much happening within the book. I'm not sure if it's because this is the first in a new series, but there's just a bit much going on for my tastes. Uriel, the Angel of Vengeance has all but given up hope of ever finding his archess. His brothers and himself have been looking for years with no success. So they've all have found ways to acclimate themselves into the new world. One is a Firefighter, another a Police Officer, and one is a Singer in a popular rock band. Uriel has taken it upon himself to become an actor. He has become Christopher Daniels one of the most famous actors in the world. While Uriel is out attending a signing at a bookstore in Texas he comes across a woman healing a small child which he immediately recognizes her as his archess. Eleanor is "special" and she doesn't know why. For as long as she can remember she has been able to control the weather, use telekinesis and heal others. Her abilities have made her a target and because of them, she has constantly been on the move since she was a kid. So when Christopher Daniels walks in and catches her healing a young girl she doesn't quite know how to react. She isn't sure if he poses a threat or not. When Christopher Daniels decides to ask Eleanore out on a date to a Gala, she isn't sure she should accept. Yes, she is insanely attracted to him, but he's very popular and she can't risk the exposure. I love the initial chemistry between these two but after awhile it just starts to fizzle. I stop believing in them and I honestly start to not like either of them. Uriel, in the beginning is so charming and lovable. Then certain things happens and he does a complete I don't really understand at all how Eleanore could find herself attracted to him. He becomes possessive and slightly domineering. He isn't concerned with her feelings only making himself feel better. I couldn't even finish reading their love scene because it came off feeling more of a taking rather than a couple loving each other. Eleanore is a virgin and is someone who has never been kissed and to see her first love scene to be so brutal was just heartbreaking. I get that not everyone likes it gentle and slow, but does it really have to be so rough? After seeing Uriel take her with his hands around her throat I was done. I just don't believe it and the love that they both supposedly have for each other. I'm sorry but that's not love. Again, I really enjoyed the premise of this series and I found myself really enjoying all of the other characters. I think I will definitely try another in this series and hope that it's better than this book. View all 3 comments. Recommended to Ren Puspita by: netgalley, I'm angel story ho. Shelves: alpha-hero , annoying-chara , e-books , based-on-mythology , family-theme , paranormal-romance , military , special-ability , virgin-heroine , stubborn-chara. I will not tell about the story just want to explain why I give this book 3 stars instead 4 or 5 stars. The reason : - An irritating hero. Uriel the former archangel of vengeance a. His action kinda remind me of hero at old bodice ripper novel. Actually not too jerk, he can be charming sometimes. But mostly he act as Neanderthal when its concern Eleanore. Too hot-headed sometimes. He redeem himself near the end of story, but not so much. Eleanore is Uriel's archess, his soul mate. But I found their chemistry are lack of emotion. Too rushed, too forced. Eleanore is a virgin who never been kissed before. I'm not complaint about this. I know maybe America people will laugh about this, because its seems weird for their culture, but not mine. What bother me the most is why she easily accept Uriel as soul mate, and their love scene make me cringe. Even Ms Killough-Walden explain that's what Eleanore want, to mix pleasure and pain, me as readers think the otherwise. If I'm on Eleanore side I want my first time to be oh-so-romantic, not include my partner strangle my neck and hurt me hide spoiler ] The funny part is when Eleanore have more chemistry with the villain, the fallen angel, Samael. Huh, I just want Eleanore forget Uriel and become Samael's lover! I love Max, the angel's guardian. I'm intrigued and want to know more about his relationship with Lilith, Samael's companion. And Uriel's brethren too. From Michael, a former Warrior Angel, who seems like the oldest of them all and act as leader, he's the brotherly figure. Gabriel the former Messenger's Angel, with his sexy Scotland brogue. He seems like to fight and quarrel with Uriel, but he is the man who care and love Uriel deeply than the other. The last is Azrael. As former Angel of Death, Azrael is the first of four archangel who succumb to the darkness and become vampire. He become a famous rockstar and who doesn't love a rockstar. Tall, dark and dangerous BTW, I find the authors like to use this sentence to describe Uriel and another archangels. I love Azrael, despite his dark side, like other archangel, he care too to them and Eleanore. Its shocked me, when I find the villain is more interesting than the hero. Samael is fallen angel, since he rebel against Old Man, because Old Man doesn't want to give him a soul mate. Samael is cunning, calculated, cool and confident. Mix all of them and you will swoon over him. Even he's so evil and want Uriel's archess for himself, he never threat Eleanore badly. Well, their relationship seems real and natural rather than Uriel-Eleanore. I hope Ms Killough-Walden will write his own story. Samael need HEA! I'm intrigued when read the synopsis. That's why when its available at NetGalley, I'm not hesitant to request it. In the end, its just not surpassed my expectation. I want something epic for this book, but find it near the end story. The early part almost boring and some part just annoyed me. Like what I explain above, the first part kinda slow. But when the archangels meet the true villain, that's when I love the story. I'm not expected the twist and looking forward to read more about the enemies. The epilogue not the best, but its part what I love the most from this book. With the pros and cons, the strength and the weakness, I still enjoy reading Avenger's Angel. Its just not meet my expectation. But I will reading the next book Messenger's Angel. The second book is story about Gabriel, the former Messenger's Angel and his archess, Juliette. We get a brief info about Juliette in this book. I hope Juliette and Gabriel have more chemistry rather than Uriel-Eleanore. I love to start a new paranormal romance series and the first book in The Lost Angels series really rocks!! It has not only romance, it has a lot of action and great plot. These archange I love to start a new paranormal romance series and the first book in The Lost Angels series really rocks!! These archangels are on Earth the last two thousand years in search of their perfect mates that God has create for them. After two thousand years, the first of these women make her appearance, but she has no idea about her purpose in life. And the lucky archangel has to deal with a lot of trouble! But yes, Uriel is a famous actor and he promotes his new movie in which he plays a vampire!! When he meets Ellie, a simple woman who works in a bookstore he realizes that this woman is his Archess, the woman God has create for him. From when she was a little girl, she had the ability to heal and she had to be very careful so her parents had her mostly at home. One day, some people tried to have her for their own purposes and from then she was moving in order to stay hidden. Ellie is a lovable person. Uriel is sexy, smart and I love the way he treats her. He spend thousands of years searching for his mate because he was lonely and although Ellie is a young woman she was also very lonely. I loved all the other archangels also! Michael, Gabriel and Azrael my favorite! Max is their guardian and I really liked him and I want to know more about him in the future because I understood that there is a big story for him! Of course, there is Samael. I think that he has to many secrets and I really want a whole book about him! So, great story, great characters and great love scene! What else do you need for reading a book?? I definitely recommend it!! View all 4 comments. Unfortunately before they were able to claim their mates the archesses were lost on earth. The archangels chose to leave heaven to follow their mates and have spent the last 2, years trying to track them down. As soon as Uriel meets Ellie he knows he has found his destiny but can he convince her that they are meant to be together? The brothers aren't the only ones searching for the archesses though, they were followed to earth by Samael and he is determined to claim an archess for himself. Who will be the first to steal Ellie's heart? I've been excited about this book since I first heard about it back in May so I couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy. As soon as it arrived Avenger's Angel jumped right to the top of my to read pile and it was a great start to a new series. I loved each of the archangel's Azrael in particular and am very excited to know that they will each get their own story, this is definitely a series I want to continue reading. I did have one nagging question though - if the archesses were lost 2, years ago and Ellie is only in her early 20's what happened to her in those missing years? Is she a reincarnation of the original archess or did it just take her a very long time to get to earth? In the grand scheme of things it isn't a problem that I don't know the answer but it is something I hope we discover in a later book. Ellie has always known she was different, she has healing abilities and is able to control the weather, she never knew why she had these powers but she knows they place her in danger. She lives in fear of being discovered and has grown up moving from place to place trying to keep her talents hidden. After narrowly escaping from government agents as a child she is terrified that they wanted to experiment on her and is always ready to run at a moments notice. When she first meets Uriel she is attracted to him but sees him as a threat, he is a famous movie star and she daren't bring that much attention to herself. Uriel isn't going to let her just run away from him though, he has spent thousands of years searching for her and wants a chance to prove to her that they belong together. I liked the fact that the relationship between Uriel and Ellie develops slowly, the chemistry between them is great but Ellie doesn't instantly fall in love. It takes time for Uriel to gain her trust, especially with the tricks Samael has up his sleeve. Sam wants to claim Ellie for himself and will use whatever means necessary to keep her away from Uriel. I have to admit I loved Sam, I definitely have a thing for the bad boys but I get the feeling there are a lot of layers to him and I can't wait to find out more. I'm really hoping he'll get his own book at some point in the series. If there was one thing I didn't like about Ellie and Uriel's relationship it was the way he took her virginity, she came across as so nervous when they got started that the way he was so forceful with her left me feeling cold. I would have preferred their first time to have been more tender and caring but I guess that is down to personal taste. The plot was a little slow at first but once the story gets going I was completely hooked. There are some great twists towards the end that I really didn't see coming and they have me very excited about the second book Messenger's Angel. I'd recommend this series to paranormal romance fans and am definitely planning on checking out Heather Killough-Walden's Big Bad Wolf series in the future. View 2 comments.

A revolt arose in Heaven because of the jealousy over the favored status of the four, causing the Archesses to fall from the sky and land in the emerging human population, and the four Archangels decided to follow and search for their promised mates. After fruitless millenia of searching, the four have assimilated into modern culture and all but given up hope of finding their Archesses. Until now I was not familiar with Heather Killough-Walden's previous works, and to be perfectly honest, had not heard a lot of buzz concerning this book, but I was taken in by the blurb and thought "Why not? Best gamble I've taken in years!! As my friends at Goodreads can tell you, my updates were fast and furious while I read this book. This book had more twist and turns than a rollercoaster. The writing was intelligent but not so detailed and complicated that it lagged. The characters were fun, sexy and people I would have over for drinks and strip poker. Eleanor Granger, Uriel's heroine was absolutely great, and you know I am no pushover in the heroine department. I am also a huge fan of a redeemable villain with shades of grey. Sooo mysterious!! I wanted to surgically implant this book so I would never be without it and perhaps absorb some part of these awesome beings. Sep 18, Christine rated it really liked it Shelves: galley , adult.

Azrael and Ellie were great together! After the epic plot twist, I was sure there would be more conflict between them. And producing not one, but TWO villainous characters threw me for a bit. Toward the end, though, alliances and feelings change, which was interesting for the overall arc and made me wonder where Heather would take all of this. Heather's actually confirmed it's about Gabriel. Heck, all of them will probably be good, which is why I'm definitely going to be reading them. View 1 comment. Jun 29, Torzilla marked it as did-not-finish Shelves: arc , reviewed , netgalley , on-the-kindle. I wanted to like this title, but upon setting my Kindle down back in August, I have not had the desire to pick this book back up. It's a pity--especially since I was so looking forward to this novel. I know that plenty will gobble this book up, despite the fact that I did not enjoy this title. Incredibly interesting premise, but it seems that I am not alone in I wanted to like this title, but upon setting my Kindle down back in August, I have not had the desire to pick this book back up. Incredibly interesting premise, but it seems that I am not alone in my dislike for Uriel. Perhaps when I am less pressed to review books, I will return to this one and give it another shot. Ah well, I'd suggest borrowing from a friend, if possible. If you want to buy it, read a sample of this at the very least. Whatever you do, don't write it off just because of my complaints. The first archangel up is Uriel. He knows by sight and now the long journey of trying to convince her that they were literally made for each other begins. She can heal people through touch, control the weather, move objects. It was difficult for her to make friends, she never had a boyfriend and her parents were forced to move the family more than once when she growing up because, well, men in suits with needles, were trying to capture Ellie. There are two strong storylines going on, the men who have been after Ellie all her life and Samael. What a villain that I loved to hate, and hated to love throughout the story. I think he just wants the other 4 archangels to not find them, and he said a few times that he would never kill an archess, but so much remains a mystery about Samael. He stole the book for me. He puts up a hard-ass, bad guy front, but I really hope he gets his own story. She never had been. And she resented it. Eleanore looked up at him, eyes wide. He paced to his desk, turned, and leaned back against it, his arms crossed over his chest. Be strong, Ellie, be strong. But his smile was tender and his gaze made her feel weak. It got a little bogged down in the middle, but the pace picked back up and the action sequence during the final few chapters of the book had me back in the book. The fighting involves all the characters we get to know throughout the story and Uriel and Ellie have a nice moment at the fights end. The world is interesting in this new series centered around archangels and their missing mates. Of all the brothers, Azrael intrigues me most. I love the different mythologies surrounding them, their powers, their divinely supernatural status, it all appeals to me. When I saw Avenger's Angel, I quickly jumped at the opportunity to read and review this new paranormal romance. After creating soul mates for these favored angels 4 Archesses, the only female angels , the archesses were sent to the protection on Earth, and the favored archangels left their realm to come find their lost mates. The archangels lost some of their powers when they descended, and they were not the only beings to fall to earth. Samael a very powerful archangel , fell to earth to try to claim one of the females for himself. After thousands of years, Uriel, the Angel of Vengeance finds his arches, Eleanor. However, Uriel must vie for her affections and win, or he will become a servant to Samael. And of course, the archangels are not the only dangerous supernatural beings around. On the whole, I really did enjoy Avenger's Angel. The four main archangels are a powerful, close-knit family who are seeking an end to loneliness. Even though they left "heaven" they still have a need to help people and they still have their basic natures. I liked Uriel, he is a very strong, alpha, protective male hero who tries to understand Ellie's Eleanor's needs. Ellie herself is a very interesting heroine, she has a kind heart, and when it comes to danger, she proves she is far from weak. Ellie does have a hard time understanding what Uriel and the brother's have been through, and their intentions. Overall, I think that she adapted to circumstances pretty well. Something that felt a bit odd to me in this story is the nature of good and evil. The angels and the supernatural beings don't really seem to come from a good side or bad, they are all created by the "Old Man" and they are quick to fault him, and declare that he is imperfect and can't relate to the human world. Samael is the "evil" being, but he is a villain who doesn't seem to be ALL evil. He is out for his own purposes, and will do anything to achieve those purposes, but he still retains some of his angelic nature that can blur the lines between good and evil. I am actually quite intrigued by Samael, his character definitely made this story much more interesting. Avenger's Angel is an enjoyable read that creates a world where Archangels develop human sympathies and the lines between good and evil are blurred. Avenger's Angel didn't jump out at me as a really stand-out book. However, I did really enjoy the main characters, the four archangel brothers. I find that I am curious to see what happens for the other archangel brothers, as well as for Samael. I found the world a bit odd, but still interesting and if I get the chance to read the next book in the series, I will likely pick it up to see what comes next. With that, I rate Avenger's Angel 3. Oct 20, Rhonda rated it really liked it. I think this will be a good and different series to read. I enjoyed reading the first one. Their are 4 archangels, Michael, Gabriel, Uriel and Azrael, that were the most favorite and The Old Man created for them 4 soul mates but before they could meet the 4 archness soulmate were cast down and the 4 archangels followed them and have been searching for thousands of years. They did not come alone to search for them. Michael warrior angel now policeman in I think this will be a good and different series to read. Michael warrior angel now policeman in NYC Gabriel messenger angel now fireman in NYC Uriel angel of vengence Movie star Azrael angel of death, now the first vampire Singer Samael the fallen media mogul now Ellie works in a bookstore that Christopher Daniels Uriel was signing at today a novel written about his blockbuster movie. He reconginezed her right away and could hardly believe he finally found her. Ellie was 25 she was home schooled because she had powers of healing and over the weather that came out and her parents were scared someone would take advantage of her. In fact they did have to run a few times and it was very close. Ellie did not know why and who were after her. The last thing she wanted was to be in the spotlight and for people to watch her. Sameal wanted a archness himself he was planning to suduce her and made a bargain with Uriel to win her if he did than Sameal would leave her alone. If Sameal won her favor than Uriel would have to be his servant forever. If Uriel did not make the deal Sameal would kill her. Of course their were hidden clause in the contract. Their are twists and turns into the book that i kept being surprised with. Was a nice size of book and look forward to more stories about the other 3 archangels. I was given this ebook to read in exchange of honest review from Netgalley. I was really liking this until the hero did this view spoiler [Uriel uses his mind control abilities to "force" Eleanor's compliance while he basically rapes her. Ellie was a virgin but Uriel grabs and holds her by her throat during most of the sex. I enjoyed the ending and will continue with the series unless of course this same crap ends up in the second book. Luckily I received an early review copy, and let me tell you, I was not disappointed! The writing is fabulous and there are three plots that weave together to create a thrilling action- packed story as well as a beautiful romance, and there are moments that are just gorgeous and made my heart melt. The characterisation is great too. The protagonists in this book there will be four books in the series altogether are Ellie and Uriel. They are such great personalities and I love that their relationship wasn't insta-love, although it was definitely insta-lust. He lives mostly in the basement on his own. I find him sad and can't wait until he finds his own Archess who will love him. I would love to meet the woman who's able to thaw his icy, black heart. I really like the fact that Ellie is a strong character and can stand up for herself, but she's soft and vulnerable too, a great combination. Her realisation that these four brothers are Archangels and that she is an Archess is very well done. The only real negative point I have with this novel was the sex scene between Uriel and Eleanore. He even put his hand over her mouth as he took her virginity violently to keep her from crying out from the pain. This took the edge off from what should have been a satisfying union. It's what I had wanted since they first laid eyes on each other as the sexual chemistry between them is just so toe-curlingly good. But the tender hotness of this scene was diluted by not knowing if Ellie was willing or if she was under a vampires influence. However, a few pages after the scene, Ellie did state that she liked being the submissive party and that she had thoroughly enjoyed what Uriel had done to her. The cover is absolutely stunning and I love angels with wings, but most of the novel the archangels are just like humans but with supernatural powers. However, the ending is great and leaves me very impatient for the next book in the series. The world is intriguing and the action is fast-paced. I for one can't wait to read future instalments. Fans of paranormal romance will lap this up - a great start to a new paranormal series. Sexy archangels on a hunt for their soul-mates that will steal your heart! This is a promising start to a series that has definitely piqued my interest! Avenger's Angel tells the story of the four favored angels of Heaven who were given the gift of their soul mates, known as the archesses, only to be torn apart, banished to Earth and hidden from the archangels. Vowing to find their true loves, Michael, Gabriel, Uriel and Azrael abandon their duties to continue their search on Earth, one that has been ongoing for 1, years. When the former archangel of Vengeance, Uriel meets Ellie he instantly knows she's the woman he's been searching for, but hidden in the shadows lies a jealous enemy that will go to any lengths to have an archess for himself. Searching for his archess has proven nearly impossible for Uriel but keeping her at his side will prove to be his biggest battle yet. I've read a few books regarding angels and this one definitely stands out. The story is really creative, the author has written a dark paranormal romance with an all star cast of characters that you'll undoubtedly fall in love with, villains included! Ellie and Uriel's sexual tension is off the charts but I love that Ellie was immensely attracted to him but fought it off as long as she could, it keeps things interesting. She's a smart and sharp heroine but I can't say I was invested in her character from the start but found myself liking her more towards the end. The angels in this book are all tortured heroes who have sacrified their lives and taken new ones, all in the name of finding love, how can you not love them? They all have completely different personalities and each brings their own style, giving the story a bit more of dimension and originality. The scenes with all the archangels were some of my favorite and these complicated men sparked my curiosity, leaving me anxious to read their stories. I can't call a favorite just yet but I definitely want to know more about the dark and brooding Azrael, I have a feeling his story will be magnificent! If all of this alpha hero male candy weren't enough, we meet the two villains who are just as appealing as the heroes. I have a soft spot for bad boys and Samael had me at hello! There's nothing better than a love hate relationship with a villain and that's exactly what Samael does best. Unexpected twists, unusual alliances and a powerful romance make this a riveting story. It's unpredictable, dark, fun and adventurous. You will connect with all of the characters on an emotional journey that will stay with you long after the last page is read. Sexy archangels and fascinating world building make this a winner for paranormal romance and urban fantasy lovers alike! Jun 29, Kara-karina rated it it was amazing. It was uber cool, people. Four Archangels roaming the earth for years looking for their archesses. And check this out: one of them is a vampire and a famous rock singer, another is the actor who played a vampire in a insanely popular movie, the third is a policeman and the forth is a fireman. Is this a collection of man candies or what? There is a Fallen Archangel, Samael, who 4. There is a Fallen Archangel, Samael, who wants an archess for himself. He is beautiful, tempting, and not an asshole, CEO of a big media corporation and he loves to draw contracts which need to be signed in blood. Sounds familiar? I thought so. When Uriel, one of the Archangels finds his archess, Ellie, who works in a bookshop where he does the book signing, he desperately tries to attract her attention. He waited years for such moment, and she is a perfection for him. Ellie, who's been on the run all her life, because she has unusual abilities - she heals, manipulates the weather and moves objects with her mind, can't afford to get involved with a famous actor because she will get noticed. Situation gets complicated because Samael finds Ellie as well, and tries to woo her. Interestingly enough, you don't get any evil vibes of him. He is cunning and he wants an archess and he worships Elly. But he also totally plays Uriel to get him into signing the contract which changes the guy into someone, let's say, unstable for the duration of it. Notes and Trivia.

Even though they left "heaven" they still have a need to help people and they still have their basic natures. I liked Uriel, he is a very strong, alpha, protective male hero who tries to understand Ellie's Eleanor's needs. Ellie herself is a very interesting heroine, she has a kind heart, and when it comes to danger, she proves she is far from weak. Ellie does have a hard time understanding what Uriel and the brother's have been through, and their intentions. Overall, I think that she adapted to circumstances pretty well. Something that felt a bit odd to me in this story is the nature of good and evil. The angels and the supernatural beings don't really seem to come from a good side or bad, they are all created by the "Old Man" and they are quick to fault him, and declare that he is imperfect and can't relate to the human world. Samael is the "evil" being, but he is a villain who doesn't seem to be ALL evil. He is out for his own purposes, and will do anything to achieve those purposes, but he still retains some of his angelic nature that can blur the lines between good and evil. I am actually quite intrigued by Samael, his character definitely made this story much more interesting. Avenger's Angel is an enjoyable read that creates a world where Archangels develop human sympathies and the lines between good and evil are blurred. Avenger's Angel didn't jump out at me as a really stand-out book. However, I did really enjoy the main characters, the four archangel brothers. I find that I am curious to see what happens for the other archangel brothers, as well as for Samael. I found the world a bit odd, but still interesting and if I get the chance to read the next book in the series, I will likely pick it up to see what comes next. With that, I rate Avenger's Angel 3. Oct 20, Rhonda rated it really liked it. I think this will be a good and different series to read. I enjoyed reading the first one. Their are 4 archangels, Michael, Gabriel, Uriel and Azrael, that were the most favorite and The Old Man created for them 4 soul mates but before they could meet the 4 archness soulmate were cast down and the 4 archangels followed them and have been searching for thousands of years. They did not come alone to search for them. Michael warrior angel now policeman in I think this will be a good and different series to read. Michael warrior angel now policeman in NYC Gabriel messenger angel now fireman in NYC Uriel angel of vengence Movie star Azrael angel of death, now the first vampire Singer Samael the fallen media mogul now Ellie works in a bookstore that Christopher Daniels Uriel was signing at today a novel written about his blockbuster movie. He reconginezed her right away and could hardly believe he finally found her. Ellie was 25 she was home schooled because she had powers of healing and over the weather that came out and her parents were scared someone would take advantage of her. In fact they did have to run a few times and it was very close. Ellie did not know why and who were after her. The last thing she wanted was to be in the spotlight and for people to watch her. Sameal wanted a archness himself he was planning to suduce her and made a bargain with Uriel to win her if he did than Sameal would leave her alone. If Sameal won her favor than Uriel would have to be his servant forever. If Uriel did not make the deal Sameal would kill her. Of course their were hidden clause in the contract. Their are twists and turns into the book that i kept being surprised with. Was a nice size of book and look forward to more stories about the other 3 archangels. I was given this ebook to read in exchange of honest review from Netgalley. I was really liking this until the hero did this view spoiler [Uriel uses his mind control abilities to "force" Eleanor's compliance while he basically rapes her. Ellie was a virgin but Uriel grabs and holds her by her throat during most of the sex. I enjoyed the ending and will continue with the series unless of course this same crap ends up in the second book. Luckily I received an early review copy, and let me tell you, I was not disappointed! The writing is fabulous and there are three plots that weave together to create a thrilling action-packed story as well as a beautiful romance, and there are moments that are just gorgeous and made my heart melt. The characterisation is great too. The protagonists in this book there will be four books in the series altogether are Ellie and Uriel. They are such great personalities and I love that their relationship wasn't insta-love, although it was definitely insta-lust. He lives mostly in the basement on his own. I find him sad and can't wait until he finds his own Archess who will love him. I would love to meet the woman who's able to thaw his icy, black heart. I really like the fact that Ellie is a strong character and can stand up for herself, but she's soft and vulnerable too, a great combination. Her realisation that these four brothers are Archangels and that she is an Archess is very well done. The only real negative point I have with this novel was the sex scene between Uriel and Eleanore. He even put his hand over her mouth as he took her virginity violently to keep her from crying out from the pain. This took the edge off from what should have been a satisfying union. It's what I had wanted since they first laid eyes on each other as the sexual chemistry between them is just so toe-curlingly good.

The scene of sex was almost rape-y, and I hated to read it I'm still fragile after Dark Predator disaster, people. However, according to the author Uriel was reading Ellie's mind and behaving in a way which turned her on even more. She admitted it herself and there was nothing on this topic later on. So yeah, that part of the relationship was shaky. The big baddies very very believable and really dangerous, which I liked and the whole world-building was very well done. I'm totally sold on this series and looking forward to the rest of the books, hoping that the next relationship won't be as volatile as this one.

This series is about 4 archangels Uriel, Gabriel, Michael, and Azrael who were "the old mans" favorites. Then jealousy spawned from another which ultimately got the archesses sent to earth to be hidden. The 4 archangels decided to go to earth and claim their soulmates. They have been searching for years and have since decided to fit in with the ever changing society. Avenger's Angel is This series is about 4 archangels Uriel, Gabriel, Michael, and Azrael who were "the old mans" favorites. Avenger's Angel is Uriel's Angel of vengeance book. He has taken up acting to pass the time away and is now a big movie star for a vampire flick. He is set up for an Autograph signing at a small book store in Texas, where his archess Eleanore Ellie works. Ellie has always been different, she can heal and do other things she can not explain how or why. She has hidden her talents in fear of being taken for research. I absolutely loved the first meeting with these two. I always love it when an author can really get you into the moment! He then sets out to prove to Ellie that she is his soulmate. He is upset he was not created a soulmate so he would no longer be lonely. He also happens to find Ellie and also tries to get Ellie by any means necessary. I did not feel as others did a big connection to Sam and Ellie. He is lonely and i got the feeling he would settle for any of the archesses. I think the book needed at least one more sex scene that was more romantic then the first time or slower at least with more feeling from both sides. There was only one sex scene in the book. Can not wait for the second book!! Feb 07, Amanda rated it really liked it Shelves: paranormal- romance. The four archangels - Michael, Gabriel, Uriel and Azrael - fell to earth years ago, to search for the archesses - soul mates - that the Old Mam [God? Fellow archangel Samael - AKA The Dark Prince - follows the brothers down to earth, as he is jealous that they have archesses and, so, he intends to take them for himself. The second he sees Eleanore he realises that she is his archesse, so all is good. Isn't it? Eleanore Granger has had strange powers her whole life; telekinesis, healing and ability to control the weather. Her parents have tried to hide her abilities and protect her, but some shadowy organisation has been hunting her since she was little. So as she has been trying to fade into the background for most of her life she is not at all impressed by Christopher's high-profile life. With the shadowy organisation and Samael both closing in on her, can Uriel convince her that he really is a immortal archangel? And how will she react to the revelation that she was created just for him? The main storyline isn't anything new, but it is well written, the main characters aren't whiny and annoying and the mythical elements that dress everything up are interesting and well researched. I also like how the other three brothers are also in the story so we can get a feel about how their characters will be like in future books, but their inclusion doesn't feel forced. For me - although Michael and Gabriel seem like their stories will be strong enough - Azrael [The Angel of Death] seems to be the most interesting character and I can't wait for his book. Oct 13, Jen Davis rated it liked it. This was a book with potential. The premise: years ago, four favored archangels were given the gift of soulmates. But before they could join with their archesses, members of their brethren interfered, wanting the women for themselves. The creator sent the women to earth to protect them, and their mates chose to fall, in order to find them among the humans. Presumably, each archangel will get his own book as the series progresses. This one features Uriel, the first of the four to finally find This was a book with potential. This one features Uriel, the first of the four to finally find his archess. Uriel is living as a popular actor a la Robert Pattinson when he stumbles across Ellie at a book signing. She has no idea what she is or that angels even exist. But she has had mysterious powers all of her life and she is inexorably drawn to Uriel. There are two main foils for their relationship. One is Samael He also followed the women to earth and is determined to make Ellie, his. The other problem is a mysterious group of men that has been tracking Ellie and her powers since childhood. All of this sounds pretty good, but something didn't quite connect for me in the execution. There was a lot of repetition, especially in the early part of the book. Ellie's attraction to Samael was, while understandable, somewhat off putting. But the biggest problem for me was the lack of a discernible build. Uriel was besotted at first sight. Ellie's resistance was laughable. It's like she's supposed to be tough and strong, but also this shining beacon of good. Meanwhile, Uriel is a perfect, gorgeous, rich movie star. As if being a freaking angel didn't make him spectacular enough. It wasn't bad. It just didn't live up to its potential. The scene stealers in the story were Samael and vampire-angel Azriel. Perhaps, a story featuring one of them would grab me more. I wrote a long, spoilerific review about this book, the whole time banging the keys loudly with my angry typing. Then I realized, I don't need to bother with all of this explaining why I hate the story in agonizing detail. All I have to say is that Avenger's Angel must have been Twilight fan-fiction that got revised to include angels. I liked Twilight. No, I loved Twilight. But I hate this shit so bad, I want to scream until I lose my voice. I knew this was going to be bad when the angels got a I wrote a long, spoilerific review about this book, the whole time banging the keys loudly with my angry typing. I knew this was going to be bad when the angels got a TARDIS house to live in, and when the male lead was a super famous movie star playing a vampire, while his brother IS a vampire who's a world-famous rock singer like Lestat. Can this story get anymore shit? Yes it can. Clearly, the author wants to make this a series with four books repeating the same pathetic plot over and over. Four women, four angels, and each time, they're just prizes to be won. No, fuck that. I've read better penny porn than this shit. Now if you'll excuse me, I need a lot of strong drinks to erase this shit from my memory. Nov 21, Libby Wyatt rated it really liked it Shelves: books-i-ve-read-in I'm a sucker when it comes to books about Angels so I was hooked before reading it. This is very much an adult fiction so it was an interesting read as it was defiantly a new genre for me. I love the possessiveness of Uriel for Ellie and their steamy sessions were pretty well written. Haha there was certainly a lot of drama and it was very much problem after problem which made it a quick read and hard to put down as I wanted to know how our heroes would overcome these dramas. Loved the quick rea I'm a sucker when it comes to books about Angels so I was hooked before reading it. Loved the quick read and look forward to reading the rest of the series Apr 13, Vashti rated it liked it. This is my first read by this author and it was a good read,not great,but good. I enjoyed the storyline about the Angel's lost mates sent to Earth and they each 4 have to find them. There were times ehrn zI wanted to chuck it in ,but held on to the enf. Very intrigued about Samael,just love the bad boys and hopes that HKW writes his story. Unfortunately, an uprising threatening their safety made it necessary to cast them down to earth. Michael, Uriel, Gabriel and Azrael have been searching for their archesses for thousands of years. With danger closing in on them, will he be able to convince her of his devotion? As a being of free will, Ellie must come to love Uriel and accept her destiny. With good reason she has been hiding her abilities all her life. The idea to have them search for their soul mates attracted me right away and I knew I had to review this book. After enough background was given to get a rough idea of what the reader could expect the author fast-forwarded to the present and the story developed from then on. An archangel turned vampire with the powers of a reaper - a fascinating concept for sure. A needed element of suspense was given in form of a fifth archangel, who had followed them to earth with the intention of claiming one of the four archesses as his queen. I was surprised at myself for taking an immediate liking to him. Also, he was the first to acknowledge that Ellie was her own person and not to be forced into a bond. Each archangel led a specific life on earth, which in turn, gave the others a chance at an individual storyline. The author did a good job of bringing the struggle of surviving their human condition across. I love, love, love a paranormal romance that had its hand in the contemporary cookie jar. It made things interesting, especially because Ellie was well aware of who Christopher was, and kind of scolded herself for finding him attractive. I liked her. She had wit and was brave in the face of one surprise after another. She had every right to be afraid and confused. As I was reading a thought popped into my mind. She had no knowledge of being someones soul mate, but knew something must be the cause for her to have healing powers. No dummy this one. How did I picture Uriel? I was done for when he brought her coffee in the morning. Marry me, please? He could be a bit of an ass, an arrogant and VERY dominant ass. Prepare yourself for sizzling vampire sexy-schmexy. The built-up slowed down a bit after a great first few chapters and I was missing some Uriel-Ellie one-on-one time. Oh boy, oh boy, did it change for the better. My favorite moment was when he had to fight his vampire instincts and keep it together around her. Very intense. Same goes for the suspense: on hold until halfway through the book, but then I was suddenly glued to my Kindle. Nonetheless, I absolutely enjoyed this read and recommend it to all fans of PNR. Loved the plot twist in the end! A great showdown. Beware of Spoilers! She was his arches. And she was…scowling at him? It was devouring the core of his being. Like, The Princess Bride, five best kisses ever kisser. Was Richard Armitage in here somewhere, too? Her creep-out-o-meter had just pretty much exploded. Nov 30, Sandy M rated it really liked it Shelves: paranormal , contemporary , vampires. Goodness, I have to say Heather Killough-Walden keeps the twists and turns coming in this first book of her new Lost Angels series. I like the concept of the four favorite Archangels being given freewill to come down to earth to locate their Archesses - their soul mates. Uriel, the former Angel of Vengeance, is up first. Having moved all over the country to keep her secret hidden, Eleanore is finally weary enough to think about staying put and fighting all who might want to use her abilities for their own gain. Unbeknownst to Eleanore, however, Samuel is truly Samael, the Fallen One, first archangel cast out and who is doing all he can to get his hands on an Archess. But she also gets some excitement out of it a few times, one being when Uriel flies her across the sky and along the coast and other places. I could go for that myself. Even in this form, however, Ellie discovers things about Uriel that cast him in a new light for her, touches her heart, and re-enforces her love for him. Uriel, of course, would die for her, if it ever comes to that. How close does he come? I thoroughly enjoyed it. But then it dawns me - for some reason I seem to be slow on this - after Uriel calls the other angels his brothers for the twentieth or so time that this deity is their father. Thus Old Man, as a lot of kids use to refer to dear old dad. Made more sense then. The new enemy I mentioned is one of those twists in the book. Killough-Walden does a very nice job at distraction and misdirection when it comes to these powerful evildoers, the Adarians. The powers all the characters are given throughout are a lot of fun, whether for good or bad. Yeah, I know, because it makes the fighting more interesting, tipping the scales in favor of the enemy so that triumph over them is more satisfying, but it would be nice to see those angels flexing some of those other abilities. That makes me wonder if perhaps down the road he might be redeemed and get his own heroine. I sure hope so. It would be fun to see his reactions to a soul mate loving him, trusting him, wanting him. Samael is even more striking, more powerful than the angels, but he has that smirk and attitude, an arrogance that drives you nuts when he uses it all for evil. But seeing how Ellie pulls something unexpected out of him, you can just imagine what a soul mate would do to him. One thing that has bothered me once I started reading is the cover of this book. That cover just shouts exactly what this story is about, especially once you get to the end of the book. The former Archangel Messenger, Gabriel, is next, and I wanted to get the flavor of his story. Everyone knows my love for angels and honestly, I think this is one of my favorites. The world, the characters, the story; everything just fit so well. I absolutely fell in love with this book and It seems I have found another great series full of hot brothers that kick lots of ass. So that is definitely a bonus. I loved our main characters. Uriel, the Angel of Vengeance, is a famous actor. His movie is based on a book that just happens to have a book signing at a bookstore where his soulmate archess , Eleanore Ellie , works. She has no idea what she is, but she knows of her powers healing and manipulating the weather and is trying very hard to stay low-key. I really liked Ellie. She went out of her to always help those in need even though it drained her and could expose her to her enemies. She never gave it a second thought and that is always a nice thing to find in a good heroine. She was strong and vulnerable all at once. They were all hot, but I think my favorite of the four was Azrael. He is not only an angel, but a vampire. He helped Uriel the most when it came to Eleanore, well he sort of had to, given that Uriel was cursed and ended a vampire like him. There was a sweet chemistry between him and Ellie. Like him looking out for a sister even though he barely knew her. But I pray his book is next, I am very curious about him. Seriously, I know you guys will love him. But like many great love stories, they need a villain and boy did we get one. So when he learns of Eleanore, he puts together a very clever and manipulative plot of getting her. He is the devil for all intents and purposes, but there was one scene in this book that made me unsure of him. And I actually believe he was being sincere in his weird way. We know he has lied about something about himself and what he actually is and his intentions are very unclear. I am a sucker for a great villain and I think Samael might be a favorite. I love where this story takes us. I like the idea of archangels coming to Earth to find the women that were made for them. And the things all these archangels do just to save Eleanore, made me love them that much more. I am definitely curious about the development here and what this means for the other archesses to comes. I liked that little bit and following Sameal, we get a taste of the man he is, but he is a very complex character. He adds a lot of mystery to this book. Now my compliant. It was explained in the book and I understand it. I like that Uriel and Ellie are in love and all. But it still makes me feel a little off and not in a fun way. The sex scene was a tad bit too much for me. Since Uriel was a vampire, he has extra powers specifically mind control. I know this sounds weird coming from me, but if you have read this, please tell me what you thought. Is it just me or what? I mean I understand it is what Ellie truly wanted, from what Uriel read in her head. But since it is her first time, why not make it steamy, slow, and sweet? Maybe it is just me because BDSM is a genre I am yet to start really need to ease me into this sort of stuff. I am not a prude, but I am still a good-old Southern girl. But I was a little disappointed with this scene and I was dying for it. Then again, after it was done, we find out Ellie may have been a virgin, but she was kinky. But seriously, why was the mind control needed? We know they want each other, why not let it happen naturally? Well, as natural as a vampire-angel hybrid and an angel can be together. Overall, I still enjoyed myself with this book. I love how all the plots merged together and I love knowing there will be more to come. These archangels really are to die for. I just pray the sex scene in the next one is better. Aug 04, Katie babs rated it it was ok. But before the angels could claim their mates, the archesses were scattered on Earth and lost. For two-thousand years, these four men have searched for their mates. Uriel now goes by Christopher Daniels, a heartthrob known for his wonderful acting skills as a vampire think Robert Pattinson from the Twilight movie series. Uriel has his other three former angel buddies to keep him company. Michael, Gabriel and Azrael, including Max, their guardian all lend their support. Uriel is on his way to a book signing and meets, Eleanore Granger, one of the employees there. The moment they meet, Uriel is stunned because Eleanore is his missing archess. Ellie thinks Uriel is some rich, playboy actor who is too handsome for his own good. He asks her out and she refuses. Ellie has special abilities where she can change the weather, use telekinesis and many other things with a simple thought. Around the time Uriel finds Ellie, Samael does also. The Old Man never gave Samael his own archess. And when Uriel signs an unholy contract with Samael for equal time to Ellie, he becomes something he has only played on the big screen. Now time is running out because Ellie is not only a target of Samael, who treats her claiming as a big game, but the men Ellie is on the run from have found her and not only want her but now Uriel. She uses her real name. I would think that would cause major issues if some underground government group is searching for you and have the means to locate you. And also, this secondary story with Ellie seems out of place in a novel like this. Ellie was sheltered as a child and teen because her parents hid her from the world for her own protection. Now Ellie has been out in the world and is in her twenties. Ellie has never been kissed. Her first kiss is from Uriel. Is Ellie his first kiss? Uriel is a weakly written character. Also the chemistry between him and Ellie lacks that major spark. Their romance is very tame and subtle. Hopefully Heather can ramp up the passion and create a more intriguing hero the next time around and not rely on situations and other minded plots that can be found in many books in this genre.

Opening Sentence: The archangel Michael gripped the rock in his right hand so hard that his fingers left imprints in the stone. Do you even have free will if your mate has been determined for you from the start? This is one conflict that Eleanore Granger must go through when determining her relationship with the archangel Uriel. Many years passed and the angels had never found any evidence of their mates, until Uriel walks into a bookstore and sees Eleanore. But not only that Ellie is hiding a secret. She has secret powers that she must keep hidden and since she was a teenager there are people out looking for her. She must keep hidden and being the girlfriend of a popular actor would definitely give her some notoriety. The men would surely find her. Uriel and Eleanore have to deal with another threat with the archangel Samael. He wants Eleanore as his own archess and makes deals with both Uriel and Eleanore that have drastic consequences on their relationship. I had mixed feelings about this book. I really liked the concept of these two people meeting, especially how they met. I enjoyed the concept of the fallen angels and the women that were made for them. I never really thought of the loss of free will for these women until it was mentioned in passing in the book. Parts of this book had some interaction scenes between the characters but there were a lot of slow passages in between. Even with the slow scenes setting up this world, I really enjoyed the development that went into creating this world. I had a really hard time with one of the sex scenes — it really felt like a rape scene to me — he forces himself into her mind and forces her to submit to him. It seemed as though he took all of her will power. I think because of this I had a hard time connecting with the characters, Uriel more so than Eleanore. Eleanore was a tough woman when she needed to be. For the most part, I liked her, I just wish I understood her feelings better as the story went along. As the first book in a series, it was a decent enough read that I would pick up the next book in the series. Somehow, it made him love her even more. Love her? He swore under his breath and bit back his groan. He watched as she tentatively placed a slim-fingered hand on the wall and peeked her hea around the corner of the entry hall into the foyer. The hair slipped from her neck when she didm exposing the long, slim column of her throat. He bit back another groan. And there it was. Fuck me, he thought. I do love her. I love everything about her. She was his archess, after all. It was a new emotion for him, and it was bewildering in its own right. You can also read this review at Reflections on Reading Romance Rating: 3. The premise of the book is that over 4, years ago four archangels were promised mates, or archesses, but when the females were sent to Earth for their protection, the archangels elected to fall to Earth to search for them. Uriel, the archangel of vengeance, is the first to find his archess in the person of Eleanore Granger, a woman hunted by a mysterious organization for her ability to heal others. I like that this book sets up the series well while keeping our interest in the main couple. The other archangels, Gabriel, Azrael, and Michael are also searching for their archesses, though after 4, years they have nearly given up hope. True to Ms. The final battle will keep you turning the pages, and I love that Eleanore is the one who saves the day, rather than the male characters. So while I liked the couple together, the romance aspect of the novel felt a bit forced. I was, however, very disappointed that Ms. You could open any of her self-published books and know immediately that she was the author, which is a huge selling point. All of my criticism of the novel can easily be resolved in future books, so I have high hopes for this series. I received this book for review from the publisher through NetGalley. I grabbed this book off of Netgalley and boy howdy! I'm glad I did. This is a new spin on a tale as old as time involving archangels and the fight for good. Something big and nasty went down and their soulmates were tossed to the winds, falling somewhere on earth. This series chronicles their journeys of finding the one woman in all the world, that was made for them. Until then, they must fight against the forces of darkness and other archangels on the same quest as them, trying to prevent them from finding 'The One'. Uriel and his brothers have been wandering the earth for two thousand years trying to find their counterparts. Only then, can they go home heaven. In present day, Uriel is Christopher Daniels, major movie star, Azriel is a rock star known as the Masked One, Michael is a cop and Gabriel is a firefighter. All my favorite types of yummy men. Oh, and Samael or the Dark Prince or whatever you want to call him, is a media mogul. How appropriate. Yeah, he's a wickedly sexy seductive big bad who looks like he might have a trace of humanity deep down inside. Anywho, Uriel finds his archess in the bathroom of a bookstore in the middle of some podunk town in Texas, helping a sick little girl. He's drawn to her and immediately knows she's 'The One' and her healing the little girl with just the touch of her hand confirms it. Eleanor Granger can't believe THE Christopher Daniels is in the ladies room hiding from his adoring fans nor can she believe that he asked her to accompany him to an event in Dallas. She's just a bookseller, no one special if you don't count her super ability of healing, moving things with her mind and making the weather change. Samael is also on the hunt for the archesses and wants them for himself. After Uriel finds Eleanor, Samael moves in and knows that with a snap of his fingers, she would be his. Uriel signs a contract with Samael to spend one week with Eleanor to counteract the affects Samael has on her. Well, when you make a deal with the devil, there are hidden clauses when signed in blood. Between keeping Eleanor away from Samael and a new danger closing in, also wanting a piece of the archess, Uriel must convince her that she was made for him. The action is fast paced, the danger is heart pounding, the chemistry sizzles off the pages and there's a TARDIS-like mansion that the archangels live in. This book definitely surprised me, in a very good way. Richard Armitage gets a shout-out, which I spent a good full minute squealing about. And Rockdale, Texas? This was more than jealousy, self-preservation, and love. This was hatred, at its finest, at its core, and it fueled his body beyond all sense of pain, sound, or vision. This is a series I am looking forward to reading. Between pop culture references, a new spin on the archangel mythology and cinematic worthy fight scenes like on a Jerry Bruckheimer scale with lots of explosions comes a story of love, loss and discovery. There's just so much going on in this book and it's totally understandable since it's the beginning of a series, a lot of world building but, it flows so well.

So they've all have found ways to acclimate themselves into the new world. One is a Firefighter, another a Police Officer, and one is a Singer in a popular rock band. Uriel has taken it upon himself to become an actor. He has become Christopher Daniels one of the most famous actors in the world. While Uriel is out attending a signing at a bookstore in Texas he comes across a woman healing a small child which he immediately recognizes her as his archess. Eleanor is "special" and she doesn't know why. For as long as she can remember she has been able to control the weather, use telekinesis and heal others. Her abilities have made her a target and because of them, she has constantly been on the move since she was a kid. So when Christopher Daniels walks in and catches her healing a young girl she doesn't quite know how to react. She isn't sure if he poses a threat or not. When Christopher Daniels decides to ask Eleanore out on a date to a Gala, she isn't sure she should accept. Yes, she is insanely attracted to him, but he's very popular and she can't risk the exposure. I love the initial chemistry between these two but after awhile it just starts to fizzle. I stop believing in them and I honestly start to not like either of them. Uriel, in the beginning is so charming and lovable. Then certain things happens and he does a complete I don't really understand at all how Eleanore could find herself attracted to him. He becomes possessive and slightly domineering. He isn't concerned with her feelings only making himself feel better. I couldn't even finish reading their love scene because it came off feeling more of a taking rather than a couple loving each other. Eleanore is a virgin and is someone who has never been kissed and to see her first love scene to be so brutal was just heartbreaking. I get that not everyone likes it gentle and slow, but does it really have to be so rough? After seeing Uriel take her with his hands around her throat I was done. I just don't believe it and the love that they both supposedly have for each other. I'm sorry but that's not love. Again, I really enjoyed the premise of this series and I found myself really enjoying all of the other characters. I think I will definitely try another in this series and hope that it's better than this book. View all 3 comments. Recommended to Ren Puspita by: netgalley, I'm angel story ho.

I will not tell about the story just want to explain why I give this book 3 stars instead 4 or 5 stars. The reason : - An irritating hero. Uriel the former archangel of vengeance a. His action kinda remind me of hero at old bodice ripper novel. Actually not too jerk, he can be charming sometimes. But mostly he act as Neanderthal when its concern Eleanore. Too hot-headed sometimes. He redeem himself near the end of story, but not so much. Eleanore is Uriel's archess, his soul mate. But I found their chemistry are lack of emotion. Too rushed, too forced. Eleanore is a virgin who never been kissed before. I'm not complaint about this. I know maybe America people will laugh about this, because its seems weird for their culture, but not mine. What bother me the most is why she easily accept Uriel as soul mate, and their love scene make me cringe. Even Ms Killough-Walden explain that's what Eleanore want, to mix pleasure and pain, me as readers think the otherwise. If I'm on Eleanore side I want my first time to be oh-so-romantic, not include my partner strangle my neck and hurt me hide spoiler ] The funny part is when Eleanore have more chemistry with the villain, the fallen angel, Samael. Huh, I just want Eleanore forget Uriel and become Samael's lover! I love Max, the angel's guardian. I'm intrigued and want to know more about his relationship with Lilith, Samael's companion. And Uriel's brethren too. From Michael, a former Warrior Angel, who seems like the oldest of them all and act as leader, he's the brotherly figure. Gabriel the former Messenger's Angel, with his sexy Scotland brogue. He seems like to fight and quarrel with Uriel, but he is the man who care and love Uriel deeply than the other. The last is Azrael. As former Angel of Death, Azrael is the first of four archangel who succumb to the darkness and become vampire. He become a famous rockstar and who doesn't love a rockstar. Tall, dark and dangerous BTW, I find the authors like to use this sentence to describe Uriel and another archangels. I love Azrael, despite his dark side, like other archangel, he care too to them and Eleanore. Its shocked me, when I find the villain is more interesting than the hero. Samael is fallen angel, since he rebel against Old Man, because Old Man doesn't want to give him a soul mate. Samael is cunning, calculated, cool and confident. Mix all of them and you will swoon over him. Even he's so evil and want Uriel's archess for himself, he never threat Eleanore badly. Well, their relationship seems real and natural rather than Uriel-Eleanore. I hope Ms Killough-Walden will write his own story. Samael need HEA! I'm intrigued when read the synopsis. That's why when its available at NetGalley, I'm not hesitant to request it. In the end, its just not surpassed my expectation. I want something epic for this book, but find it near the end story. The early part almost boring and some part just annoyed me. Like what I explain above, the first part kinda slow. But when the archangels meet the true villain, that's when I love the story. I'm not expected the twist and looking forward to read more about the enemies. The epilogue not the best, but its part what I love the most from this book. With the pros and cons, the strength and the weakness, I still enjoy reading Avenger's Angel. Its just not meet my expectation. But I will reading the next book Messenger's Angel. The second book is story about Gabriel, the former Messenger's Angel and his archess, Juliette. We get a brief info about Juliette in this book. I hope Juliette and Gabriel have more chemistry rather than Uriel-Eleanore. I love to start a new paranormal romance series and the first book in The Lost Angels series really rocks!! It has not only romance, it has a lot of action and great plot. These archange I love to start a new paranormal romance series and the first book in The Lost Angels series really rocks!! These archangels are on Earth the last two thousand years in search of their perfect mates that God has create for them. After two thousand years, the first of these women make her appearance, but she has no idea about her purpose in life. And the lucky archangel has to deal with a lot of trouble! But yes, Uriel is a famous actor and he promotes his new movie in which he plays a vampire!! When he meets Ellie, a simple woman who works in a bookstore he realizes that this woman is his Archess, the woman God has create for him. From when she was a little girl, she had the ability to heal and she had to be very careful so her parents had her mostly at home. One day, some people tried to have her for their own purposes and from then she was moving in order to stay hidden. Ellie is a lovable person. Uriel is sexy, smart and I love the way he treats her. He spend thousands of years searching for his mate because he was lonely and although Ellie is a young woman she was also very lonely. I loved all the other archangels also! Michael, Gabriel and Azrael my favorite! Max is their guardian and I really liked him and I want to know more about him in the future because I understood that there is a big story for him! Of course, there is Samael. I think that he has to many secrets and I really want a whole book about him! So, great story, great characters and great love scene! What else do you need for reading a book?? I definitely recommend it!! View all 4 comments. Unfortunately before they were able to claim their mates the archesses were lost on earth. The archangels chose to leave heaven to follow their mates and have spent the last 2, years trying to track them down. As soon as Uriel meets Ellie he knows he has found his destiny but can he convince her that they are meant to be together? The brothers aren't the only ones searching for the archesses though, they were followed to earth by Samael and he is determined to claim an archess for himself. Who will be the first to steal Ellie's heart? I've been excited about this book since I first heard about it back in May so I couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy. As soon as it arrived Avenger's Angel jumped right to the top of my to read pile and it was a great start to a new series. I loved each of the archangel's Azrael in particular and am very excited to know that they will each get their own story, this is definitely a series I want to continue reading. I did have one nagging question though - if the archesses were lost 2, years ago and Ellie is only in her early 20's what happened to her in those missing years? Is she a reincarnation of the original archess or did it just take her a very long time to get to earth? In the grand scheme of things it isn't a problem that I don't know the answer but it is something I hope we discover in a later book. Ellie has always known she was different, she has healing abilities and is able to control the weather, she never knew why she had these powers but she knows they place her in danger. She lives in fear of being discovered and has grown up moving from place to place trying to keep her talents hidden. After narrowly escaping from government agents as a child she is terrified that they wanted to experiment on her and is always ready to run at a moments notice. When she first meets Uriel she is attracted to him but sees him as a threat, he is a famous movie star and she daren't bring that much attention to herself. Uriel isn't going to let her just run away from him though, he has spent thousands of years searching for her and wants a chance to prove to her that they belong together. I liked the fact that the relationship between Uriel and Ellie develops slowly, the chemistry between them is great but Ellie doesn't instantly fall in love. It takes time for Uriel to gain her trust, especially with the tricks Samael has up his sleeve. Sam wants to claim Ellie for himself and will use whatever means necessary to keep her away from Uriel. I have to admit I loved Sam, I definitely have a thing for the bad boys but I get the feeling there are a lot of layers to him and I can't wait to find out more. I'm really hoping he'll get his own book at some point in the series. If there was one thing I didn't like about Ellie and Uriel's relationship it was the way he took her virginity, she came across as so nervous when they got started that the way he was so forceful with her left me feeling cold. I would have preferred their first time to have been more tender and caring but I guess that is down to personal taste. The plot was a little slow at first but once the story gets going I was completely hooked. There are some great twists towards the end that I really didn't see coming and they have me very excited about the second book Messenger's Angel. I'd recommend this series to paranormal romance fans and am definitely planning on checking out Heather Killough-Walden's Big Bad Wolf series in the future. View 2 comments.

A revolt arose in Heaven because of the jealousy over the favored status of the four, causing the Archesses to fall from the sky and land in the emerging human population, and the four Archangels decided to follow and search for their promised mates. After fruitless millenia of searching, the four have assimilated into modern culture and all but given up hope of finding their Archesses. Until now I was not familiar with Heather Killough-Walden's previous works, and to be perfectly honest, had not heard a lot of buzz concerning this book, but I was taken in by the blurb and thought "Why not? Best gamble I've taken in years!! As my friends at Goodreads can tell you, my updates were fast and furious while I read this book. This book had more twist and turns than a rollercoaster. The writing was intelligent but not so detailed and complicated that it lagged. The characters were fun, sexy and people I would have over for drinks and strip poker. Eleanor Granger, Uriel's heroine was absolutely great, and you know I am no pushover in the heroine department. I am also a huge fan of a redeemable villain with shades of grey. Sooo mysterious!!

Heather's actually confirmed it's about Gabriel. Heck, all of them will probably be good, which is why I'm definitely going to be reading them. View 1 comment. Jun 29, Torzilla marked it as did-not-finish Shelves: arc , reviewed , netgalley , on-the-kindle. I wanted to like this title, but upon setting my Kindle down back in August, I have not had the desire to pick this book back up. It's a pity--especially since I was so looking forward to this novel. I know that plenty will gobble this book up, despite the fact that I did not enjoy this title. Incredibly interesting premise, but it seems that I am not alone in I wanted to like this title, but upon setting my Kindle down back in August, I have not had the desire to pick this book back up. Incredibly interesting premise, but it seems that I am not alone in my dislike for Uriel. Perhaps when I am less pressed to review books, I will return to this one and give it another shot. Ah well, I'd suggest borrowing from a friend, if possible. If you want to buy it, read a sample of this at the very least. Whatever you do, don't write it off just because of my complaints. The first archangel up is Uriel. He knows by sight and now the long journey of trying to convince her that they were literally made for each other begins. She can heal people through touch, control the weather, move objects. It was difficult for her to make friends, she never had a boyfriend and her parents were forced to move the family more than once when she growing up because, well, men in suits with needles, were trying to capture Ellie. There are two strong storylines going on, the men who have been after Ellie all her life and Samael. What a villain that I loved to hate, and hated to love throughout the story. I think he just wants the other 4 archangels to not find them, and he said a few times that he would never kill an archess, but so much remains a mystery about Samael. He stole the book for me. He puts up a hard-ass, bad guy front, but I really hope he gets his own story. She never had been. And she resented it. Eleanore looked up at him, eyes wide. He paced to his desk, turned, and leaned back against it, his arms crossed over his chest. Be strong, Ellie, be strong. But his smile was tender and his gaze made her feel weak. It got a little bogged down in the middle, but the pace picked back up and the action sequence during the final few chapters of the book had me back in the book. The fighting involves all the characters we get to know throughout the story and Uriel and Ellie have a nice moment at the fights end. The world is interesting in this new series centered around archangels and their missing mates. Of all the brothers, Azrael intrigues me most. I love the different mythologies surrounding them, their powers, their divinely supernatural status, it all appeals to me. When I saw Avenger's Angel, I quickly jumped at the opportunity to read and review this new paranormal romance. After creating soul mates for these favored angels 4 Archesses, the only female angels , the archesses were sent to the protection on Earth, and the favored archangels left their realm to come find their lost mates. The archangels lost some of their powers when they descended, and they were not the only beings to fall to earth. Samael a very powerful archangel , fell to earth to try to claim one of the females for himself. After thousands of years, Uriel, the Angel of Vengeance finds his arches, Eleanor. However, Uriel must vie for her affections and win, or he will become a servant to Samael. And of course, the archangels are not the only dangerous supernatural beings around. On the whole, I really did enjoy Avenger's Angel. The four main archangels are a powerful, close-knit family who are seeking an end to loneliness. Even though they left "heaven" they still have a need to help people and they still have their basic natures. I liked Uriel, he is a very strong, alpha, protective male hero who tries to understand Ellie's Eleanor's needs. Ellie herself is a very interesting heroine, she has a kind heart, and when it comes to danger, she proves she is far from weak. Ellie does have a hard time understanding what Uriel and the brother's have been through, and their intentions. Overall, I think that she adapted to circumstances pretty well. Something that felt a bit odd to me in this story is the nature of good and evil. The angels and the supernatural beings don't really seem to come from a good side or bad, they are all created by the "Old Man" and they are quick to fault him, and declare that he is imperfect and can't relate to the human world. Samael is the "evil" being, but he is a villain who doesn't seem to be ALL evil. He is out for his own purposes, and will do anything to achieve those purposes, but he still retains some of his angelic nature that can blur the lines between good and evil. I am actually quite intrigued by Samael, his character definitely made this story much more interesting. Avenger's Angel is an enjoyable read that creates a world where Archangels develop human sympathies and the lines between good and evil are blurred. Avenger's Angel didn't jump out at me as a really stand-out book. However, I did really enjoy the main characters, the four archangel brothers. I find that I am curious to see what happens for the other archangel brothers, as well as for Samael. I found the world a bit odd, but still interesting and if I get the chance to read the next book in the series, I will likely pick it up to see what comes next. With that, I rate Avenger's Angel 3. Oct 20, Rhonda rated it really liked it. I think this will be a good and different series to read. I enjoyed reading the first one. Their are 4 archangels, Michael, Gabriel, Uriel and Azrael, that were the most favorite and The Old Man created for them 4 soul mates but before they could meet the 4 archness soulmate were cast down and the 4 archangels followed them and have been searching for thousands of years. They did not come alone to search for them. Michael warrior angel now policeman in I think this will be a good and different series to read. Michael warrior angel now policeman in NYC Gabriel messenger angel now fireman in NYC Uriel angel of vengence Movie star Azrael angel of death, now the first vampire Singer Samael the fallen media mogul now Ellie works in a bookstore that Christopher Daniels Uriel was signing at today a novel written about his blockbuster movie. He reconginezed her right away and could hardly believe he finally found her. Ellie was 25 she was home schooled because she had powers of healing and over the weather that came out and her parents were scared someone would take advantage of her. In fact they did have to run a few times and it was very close. Ellie did not know why and who were after her. The last thing she wanted was to be in the spotlight and for people to watch her. Sameal wanted a archness himself he was planning to suduce her and made a bargain with Uriel to win her if he did than Sameal would leave her alone. If Sameal won her favor than Uriel would have to be his servant forever. If Uriel did not make the deal Sameal would kill her. Of course their were hidden clause in the contract. Their are twists and turns into the book that i kept being surprised with. Was a nice size of book and look forward to more stories about the other 3 archangels. I was given this ebook to read in exchange of honest review from Netgalley. I was really liking this until the hero did this view spoiler [Uriel uses his mind control abilities to "force" Eleanor's compliance while he basically rapes her. Ellie was a virgin but Uriel grabs and holds her by her throat during most of the sex. I enjoyed the ending and will continue with the series unless of course this same crap ends up in the second book. Luckily I received an early review copy, and let me tell you, I was not disappointed! The writing is fabulous and there are three plots that weave together to create a thrilling action-packed story as well as a beautiful romance, and there are moments that are just gorgeous and made my heart melt. The characterisation is great too. The protagonists in this book there will be four books in the series altogether are Ellie and Uriel. They are such great personalities and I love that their relationship wasn't insta-love, although it was definitely insta-lust. He lives mostly in the basement on his own. I find him sad and can't wait until he finds his own Archess who will love him. I would love to meet the woman who's able to thaw his icy, black heart. I really like the fact that Ellie is a strong character and can stand up for herself, but she's soft and vulnerable too, a great combination. Her realisation that these four brothers are Archangels and that she is an Archess is very well done. The only real negative point I have with this novel was the sex scene between Uriel and Eleanore. He even put his hand over her mouth as he took her virginity violently to keep her from crying out from the pain. This took the edge off from what should have been a satisfying union. It's what I had wanted since they first laid eyes on each other as the sexual chemistry between them is just so toe-curlingly good. But the tender hotness of this scene was diluted by not knowing if Ellie was willing or if she was under a vampires influence. However, a few pages after the scene, Ellie did state that she liked being the submissive party and that she had thoroughly enjoyed what Uriel had done to her. The cover is absolutely stunning and I love angels with wings, but most of the novel the archangels are just like humans but with supernatural powers. However, the ending is great and leaves me very impatient for the next book in the series. The world is intriguing and the action is fast- paced. I for one can't wait to read future instalments. Fans of paranormal romance will lap this up - a great start to a new paranormal series. Sexy archangels on a hunt for their soul-mates that will steal your heart! This is a promising start to a series that has definitely piqued my interest! Avenger's Angel tells the story of the four favored angels of Heaven who were given the gift of their soul mates, known as the archesses, only to be torn apart, banished to Earth and hidden from the archangels. Vowing to find their true loves, Michael, Gabriel, Uriel and Azrael abandon their duties to continue their search on Earth, one that has been ongoing for 1, years. When the former archangel of Vengeance, Uriel meets Ellie he instantly knows she's the woman he's been searching for, but hidden in the shadows lies a jealous enemy that will go to any lengths to have an archess for himself. Searching for his archess has proven nearly impossible for Uriel but keeping her at his side will prove to be his biggest battle yet. I've read a few books regarding angels and this one definitely stands out. The story is really creative, the author has written a dark paranormal romance with an all star cast of characters that you'll undoubtedly fall in love with, villains included! Ellie and Uriel's sexual tension is off the charts but I love that Ellie was immensely attracted to him but fought it off as long as she could, it keeps things interesting. She's a smart and sharp heroine but I can't say I was invested in her character from the start but found myself liking her more towards the end. The angels in this book are all tortured heroes who have sacrified their lives and taken new ones, all in the name of finding love, how can you not love them? They all have completely different personalities and each brings their own style, giving the story a bit more of dimension and originality. The scenes with all the archangels were some of my favorite and these complicated men sparked my curiosity, leaving me anxious to read their stories. I can't call a favorite just yet but I definitely want to know more about the dark and brooding Azrael, I have a feeling his story will be magnificent! If all of this alpha hero male candy weren't enough, we meet the two villains who are just as appealing as the heroes. I have a soft spot for bad boys and Samael had me at hello! There's nothing better than a love hate relationship with a villain and that's exactly what Samael does best. Unexpected twists, unusual alliances and a powerful romance make this a riveting story. It's unpredictable, dark, fun and adventurous. You will connect with all of the characters on an emotional journey that will stay with you long after the last page is read. Sexy archangels and fascinating world building make this a winner for paranormal romance and urban fantasy lovers alike! Jun 29, Kara-karina rated it it was amazing. It was uber cool, people. Four Archangels roaming the earth for years looking for their archesses. And check this out: one of them is a vampire and a famous rock singer, another is the actor who played a vampire in a insanely popular movie, the third is a policeman and the forth is a fireman. Is this a collection of man candies or what? There is a Fallen Archangel, Samael, who 4. There is a Fallen Archangel, Samael, who wants an archess for himself. He is beautiful, tempting, and not an asshole, CEO of a big media corporation and he loves to draw contracts which need to be signed in blood. Sounds familiar? I thought so. When Uriel, one of the Archangels finds his archess, Ellie, who works in a bookshop where he does the book signing, he desperately tries to attract her attention. He waited years for such moment, and she is a perfection for him. Ellie, who's been on the run all her life, because she has unusual abilities - she heals, manipulates the weather and moves objects with her mind, can't afford to get involved with a famous actor because she will get noticed. Situation gets complicated because Samael finds Ellie as well, and tries to woo her. Interestingly enough, you don't get any evil vibes of him. He is cunning and he wants an archess and he worships Elly. But he also totally plays Uriel to get him into signing the contract which changes the guy into someone, let's say, unstable for the duration of it. All because Uriel didn't read all the clauses before signing. I loved Ellie and Samael. But because of Uriel complications he wasn't as likable as he could have been. The scene of sex was almost rape-y, and I hated to read it I'm still fragile after Dark Predator disaster, people. However, according to the author Uriel was reading Ellie's mind and behaving in a way which turned her on even more. She admitted it herself and there was nothing on this topic later on. So yeah, that part of the relationship was shaky. The big baddies very very believable and really dangerous, which I liked and the whole world-building was very well done. I'm totally sold on this series and looking forward to the rest of the books, hoping that the next relationship won't be as volatile as this one.

This series is about 4 archangels Uriel, Gabriel, Michael, and Azrael who were "the old mans" favorites. Then jealousy spawned from another which ultimately got the archesses sent to earth to be hidden. The 4 archangels decided to go to earth and claim their soulmates. They have been searching for years and have since decided to fit in with the ever changing society. Avenger's Angel is This series is about 4 archangels Uriel, Gabriel, Michael, and Azrael who were "the old mans" favorites. Avenger's Angel is Uriel's Angel of vengeance book. He has taken up acting to pass the time away and is now a big movie star for a vampire flick. He is set up for an Autograph signing at a small book store in Texas, where his archess Eleanore Ellie works. Ellie has always been different, she can heal and do other things she can not explain how or why. She has hidden her talents in fear of being taken for research. I absolutely loved the first meeting with these two. I always love it when an author can really get you into the moment! He then sets out to prove to Ellie that she is his soulmate. He is upset he was not created a soulmate so he would no longer be lonely. He also happens to find Ellie and also tries to get Ellie by any means necessary. I did not feel as others did a big connection to Sam and Ellie. He is lonely and i got the feeling he would settle for any of the archesses. I think the book needed at least one more sex scene that was more romantic then the first time or slower at least with more feeling from both sides. There was only one sex scene in the book. Can not wait for the second book!! Feb 07, Amanda rated it really liked it Shelves: paranormal- romance. The four archangels - Michael, Gabriel, Uriel and Azrael - fell to earth years ago, to search for the archesses - soul mates - that the Old Mam [God? Fellow archangel Samael - AKA The Dark Prince - follows the brothers down to earth, as he is jealous that they have archesses and, so, he intends to take them for himself. The second he sees Eleanore he realises that she is his archesse, so all is good. Isn't it? Eleanore Granger has had strange powers her whole life; telekinesis, healing and ability to control the weather. Her parents have tried to hide her abilities and protect her, but some shadowy organisation has been hunting her since she was little. So as she has been trying to fade into the background for most of her life she is not at all impressed by Christopher's high-profile life. With the shadowy organisation and Samael both closing in on her, can Uriel convince her that he really is a immortal archangel? And how will she react to the revelation that she was created just for him? The main storyline isn't anything new, but it is well written, the main characters aren't whiny and annoying and the mythical elements that dress everything up are interesting and well researched. I also like how the other three brothers are also in the story so we can get a feel about how their characters will be like in future books, but their inclusion doesn't feel forced. For me - although Michael and Gabriel seem like their stories will be strong enough - Azrael [The Angel of Death] seems to be the most interesting character and I can't wait for his book. Oct 13, Jen Davis rated it liked it. This was a book with potential. The premise: years ago, four favored archangels were given the gift of soulmates. But before they could join with their archesses, members of their brethren interfered, wanting the women for themselves. The creator sent the women to earth to protect them, and their mates chose to fall, in order to find them among the humans. Presumably, each archangel will get his own book as the series progresses. This one features Uriel, the first of the four to finally find This was a book with potential. This one features Uriel, the first of the four to finally find his archess. Uriel is living as a popular actor a la Robert Pattinson when he stumbles across Ellie at a book signing. She has no idea what she is or that angels even exist. But she has had mysterious powers all of her life and she is inexorably drawn to Uriel. There are two main foils for their relationship. One is Samael He also followed the women to earth and is determined to make Ellie, his. The other problem is a mysterious group of men that has been tracking Ellie and her powers since childhood. All of this sounds pretty good, but something didn't quite connect for me in the execution. There was a lot of repetition, especially in the early part of the book. Ellie's attraction to Samael was, while understandable, somewhat off putting. But the biggest problem for me was the lack of a discernible build. Uriel was besotted at first sight. Ellie's resistance was laughable. It's like she's supposed to be tough and strong, but also this shining beacon of good. Meanwhile, Uriel is a perfect, gorgeous, rich movie star. As if being a freaking angel didn't make him spectacular enough. It wasn't bad. It just didn't live up to its potential. The scene stealers in the story were Samael and vampire-angel Azriel. Perhaps, a story featuring one of them would grab me more. I wrote a long, spoilerific review about this book, the whole time banging the keys loudly with my angry typing. Then I realized, I don't need to bother with all of this explaining why I hate the story in agonizing detail. All I have to say is that Avenger's Angel must have been Twilight fan-fiction that got revised to include angels. I liked Twilight. No, I loved Twilight. But I hate this shit so bad, I want to scream until I lose my voice. I knew this was going to be bad when the angels got a I wrote a long, spoilerific review about this book, the whole time banging the keys loudly with my angry typing. I knew this was going to be bad when the angels got a TARDIS house to live in, and when the male lead was a super famous movie star playing a vampire, while his brother IS a vampire who's a world-famous rock singer like Lestat. Can this story get anymore shit? Yes it can. Clearly, the author wants to make this a series with four books repeating the same pathetic plot over and over. Four women, four angels, and each time, they're just prizes to be won. No, fuck that. I've read better penny porn than this shit. Now if you'll excuse me, I need a lot of strong drinks to erase this shit from my memory.

This is very much an adult fiction so it was an interesting read as it was defiantly a new genre for me.

I enjoyed the storyline about the Angel's lost mates sent to Earth and they each 4 have to find them. There were times ehrn zI wanted to chuck it in ,but held on to the enf. Very intrigued about Samael,just love the bad boys and hopes that HKW writes his story. Unfortunately, an uprising threatening their safety made it necessary to cast them down to earth. Michael, Uriel, Gabriel and Azrael have been searching for their archesses for thousands of years. With danger closing in on them, will he be able to convince her of his devotion? As a being of free will, Ellie must come to love Uriel and accept her destiny. With good reason she has been hiding her abilities all her life. The idea to have them search for their soul mates attracted me right away and I knew I had to review this book. After enough background was given to get a rough idea of what the reader could expect the author fast-forwarded to the present and the story developed from then on. An archangel turned vampire with the powers of a reaper - a fascinating concept for sure. A needed element of suspense was given in form of a fifth archangel, who had followed them to earth with the intention of claiming one of the four archesses as his queen. I was surprised at myself for taking an immediate liking to him. Also, he was the first to acknowledge that Ellie was her own person and not to be forced into a bond. Each archangel led a specific life on earth, which in turn, gave the others a chance at an individual storyline. The author did a good job of bringing the struggle of surviving their human condition across. I love, love, love a paranormal romance that had its hand in the contemporary cookie jar. It made things interesting, especially because Ellie was well aware of who Christopher was, and kind of scolded herself for finding him attractive. I liked her. She had wit and was brave in the face of one surprise after another. She had every right to be afraid and confused. As I was reading a thought popped into my mind. She had no knowledge of being someones soul mate, but knew something must be the cause for her to have healing powers. No dummy this one. How did I picture Uriel? I was done for when he brought her coffee in the morning. Marry me, please? He could be a bit of an ass, an arrogant and VERY dominant ass. Prepare yourself for sizzling vampire sexy-schmexy. The built-up slowed down a bit after a great first few chapters and I was missing some Uriel-Ellie one-on-one time. Oh boy, oh boy, did it change for the better. My favorite moment was when he had to fight his vampire instincts and keep it together around her. Very intense.

What else do you need for reading a book?? I definitely recommend it!! View all 4 comments. Unfortunately before they were able to claim their mates the archesses were lost on earth. The archangels chose to leave heaven to follow their mates and have spent the last 2, years trying to track them down. As soon as Uriel meets Ellie he knows he has found his destiny but can he convince her that they are meant to be together? The brothers aren't the only ones searching for the archesses though, they were followed to earth by Samael and he is determined to claim an archess for himself. Who will be the first to steal Ellie's heart? I've been excited about this book since I first heard about it back in May so I couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy. As soon as it arrived Avenger's Angel jumped right to the top of my to read pile and it was a great start to a new series. I loved each of the archangel's Azrael in particular and am very excited to know that they will each get their own story, this is definitely a series I want to continue reading. I did have one nagging question though - if the archesses were lost 2, years ago and Ellie is only in her early 20's what happened to her in those missing years? Is she a reincarnation of the original archess or did it just take her a very long time to get to earth? In the grand scheme of things it isn't a problem that I don't know the answer but it is something I hope we discover in a later book. Ellie has always known she was different, she has healing abilities and is able to control the weather, she never knew why she had these powers but she knows they place her in danger. She lives in fear of being discovered and has grown up moving from place to place trying to keep her talents hidden. After narrowly escaping from government agents as a child she is terrified that they wanted to experiment on her and is always ready to run at a moments notice. When she first meets Uriel she is attracted to him but sees him as a threat, he is a famous movie star and she daren't bring that much attention to herself. Uriel isn't going to let her just run away from him though, he has spent thousands of years searching for her and wants a chance to prove to her that they belong together. I liked the fact that the relationship between Uriel and Ellie develops slowly, the chemistry between them is great but Ellie doesn't instantly fall in love. It takes time for Uriel to gain her trust, especially with the tricks Samael has up his sleeve. Sam wants to claim Ellie for himself and will use whatever means necessary to keep her away from Uriel. I have to admit I loved Sam, I definitely have a thing for the bad boys but I get the feeling there are a lot of layers to him and I can't wait to find out more. I'm really hoping he'll get his own book at some point in the series. If there was one thing I didn't like about Ellie and Uriel's relationship it was the way he took her virginity, she came across as so nervous when they got started that the way he was so forceful with her left me feeling cold. I would have preferred their first time to have been more tender and caring but I guess that is down to personal taste. The plot was a little slow at first but once the story gets going I was completely hooked. There are some great twists towards the end that I really didn't see coming and they have me very excited about the second book Messenger's Angel. I'd recommend this series to paranormal romance fans and am definitely planning on checking out Heather Killough-Walden's Big Bad Wolf series in the future. View 2 comments.

A revolt arose in Heaven because of the jealousy over the favored status of the four, causing the Archesses to fall from the sky and land in the emerging human population, and the four Archangels decided to follow and search for their promised mates. After fruitless millenia of searching, the four have assimilated into modern culture and all but given up hope of finding their Archesses. Until now I was not familiar with Heather Killough-Walden's previous works, and to be perfectly honest, had not heard a lot of buzz concerning this book, but I was taken in by the blurb and thought "Why not? Best gamble I've taken in years!! As my friends at Goodreads can tell you, my updates were fast and furious while I read this book. This book had more twist and turns than a rollercoaster. The writing was intelligent but not so detailed and complicated that it lagged. The characters were fun, sexy and people I would have over for drinks and strip poker. Eleanor Granger, Uriel's heroine was absolutely great, and you know I am no pushover in the heroine department. I am also a huge fan of a redeemable villain with shades of grey. Sooo mysterious!!

Toward the end, though, alliances and feelings change, which was interesting for the overall arc and made me wonder where Heather would take all of this. Heather's actually confirmed it's about Gabriel. Heck, all of them will probably be good, which is why I'm definitely going to be reading them. View 1 comment. Jun 29, Torzilla marked it as did-not-finish Shelves: arc , reviewed , netgalley , on-the-kindle. I wanted to like this title, but upon setting my Kindle down back in August, I have not had the desire to pick this book back up. It's a pity--especially since I was so looking forward to this novel. I know that plenty will gobble this book up, despite the fact that I did not enjoy this title. Incredibly interesting premise, but it seems that I am not alone in I wanted to like this title, but upon setting my Kindle down back in August, I have not had the desire to pick this book back up. Incredibly interesting premise, but it seems that I am not alone in my dislike for Uriel. Perhaps when I am less pressed to review books, I will return to this one and give it another shot. Ah well, I'd suggest borrowing from a friend, if possible. If you want to buy it, read a sample of this at the very least. Whatever you do, don't write it off just because of my complaints. The first archangel up is Uriel. He knows by sight and now the long journey of trying to convince her that they were literally made for each other begins. She can heal people through touch, control the weather, move objects. It was difficult for her to make friends, she never had a boyfriend and her parents were forced to move the family more than once when she growing up because, well, men in suits with needles, were trying to capture Ellie. There are two strong storylines going on, the men who have been after Ellie all her life and Samael. What a villain that I loved to hate, and hated to love throughout the story. I think he just wants the other 4 archangels to not find them, and he said a few times that he would never kill an archess, but so much remains a mystery about Samael. He stole the book for me. He puts up a hard-ass, bad guy front, but I really hope he gets his own story. She never had been. And she resented it. Eleanore looked up at him, eyes wide. He paced to his desk, turned, and leaned back against it, his arms crossed over his chest. Be strong, Ellie, be strong. But his smile was tender and his gaze made her feel weak. It got a little bogged down in the middle, but the pace picked back up and the action sequence during the final few chapters of the book had me back in the book. The fighting involves all the characters we get to know throughout the story and Uriel and Ellie have a nice moment at the fights end. The world is interesting in this new series centered around archangels and their missing mates. Of all the brothers, Azrael intrigues me most. I love the different mythologies surrounding them, their powers, their divinely supernatural status, it all appeals to me. When I saw Avenger's Angel, I quickly jumped at the opportunity to read and review this new paranormal romance. After creating soul mates for these favored angels 4 Archesses, the only female angels , the archesses were sent to the protection on Earth, and the favored archangels left their realm to come find their lost mates. The archangels lost some of their powers when they descended, and they were not the only beings to fall to earth. Samael a very powerful archangel , fell to earth to try to claim one of the females for himself. After thousands of years, Uriel, the Angel of Vengeance finds his arches, Eleanor. However, Uriel must vie for her affections and win, or he will become a servant to Samael. And of course, the archangels are not the only dangerous supernatural beings around. On the whole, I really did enjoy Avenger's Angel. The four main archangels are a powerful, close-knit family who are seeking an end to loneliness. Even though they left "heaven" they still have a need to help people and they still have their basic natures. I liked Uriel, he is a very strong, alpha, protective male hero who tries to understand Ellie's Eleanor's needs. Ellie herself is a very interesting heroine, she has a kind heart, and when it comes to danger, she proves she is far from weak. Ellie does have a hard time understanding what Uriel and the brother's have been through, and their intentions. Overall, I think that she adapted to circumstances pretty well. Something that felt a bit odd to me in this story is the nature of good and evil. The angels and the supernatural beings don't really seem to come from a good side or bad, they are all created by the "Old Man" and they are quick to fault him, and declare that he is imperfect and can't relate to the human world. Samael is the "evil" being, but he is a villain who doesn't seem to be ALL evil. He is out for his own purposes, and will do anything to achieve those purposes, but he still retains some of his angelic nature that can blur the lines between good and evil. I am actually quite intrigued by Samael, his character definitely made this story much more interesting. Avenger's Angel is an enjoyable read that creates a world where Archangels develop human sympathies and the lines between good and evil are blurred. Avenger's Angel didn't jump out at me as a really stand-out book. However, I did really enjoy the main characters, the four archangel brothers. I find that I am curious to see what happens for the other archangel brothers, as well as for Samael. I found the world a bit odd, but still interesting and if I get the chance to read the next book in the series, I will likely pick it up to see what comes next. With that, I rate Avenger's Angel 3. Oct 20, Rhonda rated it really liked it. I think this will be a good and different series to read. I enjoyed reading the first one. Their are 4 archangels, Michael, Gabriel, Uriel and Azrael, that were the most favorite and The Old Man created for them 4 soul mates but before they could meet the 4 archness soulmate were cast down and the 4 archangels followed them and have been searching for thousands of years. They did not come alone to search for them. Michael warrior angel now policeman in I think this will be a good and different series to read. Michael warrior angel now policeman in NYC Gabriel messenger angel now fireman in NYC Uriel angel of vengence Movie star Azrael angel of death, now the first vampire Singer Samael the fallen media mogul now Ellie works in a bookstore that Christopher Daniels Uriel was signing at today a novel written about his blockbuster movie. He reconginezed her right away and could hardly believe he finally found her. Ellie was 25 she was home schooled because she had powers of healing and over the weather that came out and her parents were scared someone would take advantage of her. In fact they did have to run a few times and it was very close. Ellie did not know why and who were after her. The last thing she wanted was to be in the spotlight and for people to watch her. Sameal wanted a archness himself he was planning to suduce her and made a bargain with Uriel to win her if he did than Sameal would leave her alone. If Sameal won her favor than Uriel would have to be his servant forever. If Uriel did not make the deal Sameal would kill her. Of course their were hidden clause in the contract. Their are twists and turns into the book that i kept being surprised with. Was a nice size of book and look forward to more stories about the other 3 archangels. I was given this ebook to read in exchange of honest review from Netgalley. I was really liking this until the hero did this view spoiler [Uriel uses his mind control abilities to "force" Eleanor's compliance while he basically rapes her. Ellie was a virgin but Uriel grabs and holds her by her throat during most of the sex. I enjoyed the ending and will continue with the series unless of course this same crap ends up in the second book. Luckily I received an early review copy, and let me tell you, I was not disappointed! The writing is fabulous and there are three plots that weave together to create a thrilling action-packed story as well as a beautiful romance, and there are moments that are just gorgeous and made my heart melt. The characterisation is great too. The protagonists in this book there will be four books in the series altogether are Ellie and Uriel. They are such great personalities and I love that their relationship wasn't insta-love, although it was definitely insta-lust. He lives mostly in the basement on his own. I find him sad and can't wait until he finds his own Archess who will love him. I would love to meet the woman who's able to thaw his icy, black heart. I really like the fact that Ellie is a strong character and can stand up for herself, but she's soft and vulnerable too, a great combination. Her realisation that these four brothers are Archangels and that she is an Archess is very well done. The only real negative point I have with this novel was the sex scene between Uriel and Eleanore. He even put his hand over her mouth as he took her virginity violently to keep her from crying out from the pain. This took the edge off from what should have been a satisfying union. It's what I had wanted since they first laid eyes on each other as the sexual chemistry between them is just so toe-curlingly good. But the tender hotness of this scene was diluted by not knowing if Ellie was willing or if she was under a vampires influence. However, a few pages after the scene, Ellie did state that she liked being the submissive party and that she had thoroughly enjoyed what Uriel had done to her. The cover is absolutely stunning and I love angels with wings, but most of the novel the archangels are just like humans but with supernatural powers. However, the ending is great and leaves me very impatient for the next book in the series. The world is intriguing and the action is fast- paced. I for one can't wait to read future instalments. Fans of paranormal romance will lap this up - a great start to a new paranormal series. Sexy archangels on a hunt for their soul-mates that will steal your heart! This is a promising start to a series that has definitely piqued my interest! Avenger's Angel tells the story of the four favored angels of Heaven who were given the gift of their soul mates, known as the archesses, only to be torn apart, banished to Earth and hidden from the archangels. Vowing to find their true loves, Michael, Gabriel, Uriel and Azrael abandon their duties to continue their search on Earth, one that has been ongoing for 1, years. When the former archangel of Vengeance, Uriel meets Ellie he instantly knows she's the woman he's been searching for, but hidden in the shadows lies a jealous enemy that will go to any lengths to have an archess for himself. Searching for his archess has proven nearly impossible for Uriel but keeping her at his side will prove to be his biggest battle yet. I've read a few books regarding angels and this one definitely stands out. The story is really creative, the author has written a dark paranormal romance with an all star cast of characters that you'll undoubtedly fall in love with, villains included! Ellie and Uriel's sexual tension is off the charts but I love that Ellie was immensely attracted to him but fought it off as long as she could, it keeps things interesting. She's a smart and sharp heroine but I can't say I was invested in her character from the start but found myself liking her more towards the end. The angels in this book are all tortured heroes who have sacrified their lives and taken new ones, all in the name of finding love, how can you not love them? They all have completely different personalities and each brings their own style, giving the story a bit more of dimension and originality. The scenes with all the archangels were some of my favorite and these complicated men sparked my curiosity, leaving me anxious to read their stories. I can't call a favorite just yet but I definitely want to know more about the dark and brooding Azrael, I have a feeling his story will be magnificent! If all of this alpha hero male candy weren't enough, we meet the two villains who are just as appealing as the heroes. I have a soft spot for bad boys and Samael had me at hello! There's nothing better than a love hate relationship with a villain and that's exactly what Samael does best. Unexpected twists, unusual alliances and a powerful romance make this a riveting story. It's unpredictable, dark, fun and adventurous. You will connect with all of the characters on an emotional journey that will stay with you long after the last page is read. Sexy archangels and fascinating world building make this a winner for paranormal romance and urban fantasy lovers alike! Jun 29, Kara-karina rated it it was amazing. It was uber cool, people. Four Archangels roaming the earth for years looking for their archesses. And check this out: one of them is a vampire and a famous rock singer, another is the actor who played a vampire in a insanely popular movie, the third is a policeman and the forth is a fireman. Is this a collection of man candies or what? There is a Fallen Archangel, Samael, who 4. There is a Fallen Archangel, Samael, who wants an archess for himself. He is beautiful, tempting, and not an asshole, CEO of a big media corporation and he loves to draw contracts which need to be signed in blood. Sounds familiar? I thought so. When Uriel, one of the Archangels finds his archess, Ellie, who works in a bookshop where he does the book signing, he desperately tries to attract her attention. He waited years for such moment, and she is a perfection for him. Ellie, who's been on the run all her life, because she has unusual abilities - she heals, manipulates the weather and moves objects with her mind, can't afford to get involved with a famous actor because she will get noticed. Situation gets complicated because Samael finds Ellie as well, and tries to woo her. Interestingly enough, you don't get any evil vibes of him. He is cunning and he wants an archess and he worships Elly. But he also totally plays Uriel to get him into signing the contract which changes the guy into someone, let's say, unstable for the duration of it. All because Uriel didn't read all the clauses before signing. I loved Ellie and Samael. But because of Uriel complications he wasn't as likable as he could have been. The scene of sex was almost rape-y, and I hated to read it I'm still fragile after Dark Predator disaster, people. However, according to the author Uriel was reading Ellie's mind and behaving in a way which turned her on even more. She admitted it herself and there was nothing on this topic later on. So yeah, that part of the relationship was shaky. The big baddies very very believable and really dangerous, which I liked and the whole world-building was very well done. I'm totally sold on this series and looking forward to the rest of the books, hoping that the next relationship won't be as volatile as this one.

This series is about 4 archangels Uriel, Gabriel, Michael, and Azrael who were "the old mans" favorites. Then jealousy spawned from another which ultimately got the archesses sent to earth to be hidden. The 4 archangels decided to go to earth and claim their soulmates. They have been searching for years and have since decided to fit in with the ever changing society. Avenger's Angel is This series is about 4 archangels Uriel, Gabriel, Michael, and Azrael who were "the old mans" favorites. Avenger's Angel is Uriel's Angel of vengeance book. He has taken up acting to pass the time away and is now a big movie star for a vampire flick. He is set up for an Autograph signing at a small book store in Texas, where his archess Eleanore Ellie works. Ellie has always been different, she can heal and do other things she can not explain how or why. She has hidden her talents in fear of being taken for research. I absolutely loved the first meeting with these two. I always love it when an author can really get you into the moment! He then sets out to prove to Ellie that she is his soulmate. He is upset he was not created a soulmate so he would no longer be lonely. He also happens to find Ellie and also tries to get Ellie by any means necessary. I did not feel as others did a big connection to Sam and Ellie. He is lonely and i got the feeling he would settle for any of the archesses. I think the book needed at least one more sex scene that was more romantic then the first time or slower at least with more feeling from both sides. There was only one sex scene in the book. Can not wait for the second book!! Feb 07, Amanda rated it really liked it Shelves: paranormal-romance. The four archangels - Michael, Gabriel, Uriel and Azrael - fell to earth years ago, to search for the archesses - soul mates - that the Old Mam [God? Fellow archangel Samael - AKA The Dark Prince - follows the brothers down to earth, as he is jealous that they have archesses and, so, he intends to take them for himself. The second he sees Eleanore he realises that she is his archesse, so all is good. Isn't it? Eleanore Granger has had strange powers her whole life; telekinesis, healing and ability to control the weather. Her parents have tried to hide her abilities and protect her, but some shadowy organisation has been hunting her since she was little. So as she has been trying to fade into the background for most of her life she is not at all impressed by Christopher's high-profile life. With the shadowy organisation and Samael both closing in on her, can Uriel convince her that he really is a immortal archangel? And how will she react to the revelation that she was created just for him? The main storyline isn't anything new, but it is well written, the main characters aren't whiny and annoying and the mythical elements that dress everything up are interesting and well researched. I also like how the other three brothers are also in the story so we can get a feel about how their characters will be like in future books, but their inclusion doesn't feel forced. For me - although Michael and Gabriel seem like their stories will be strong enough - Azrael [The Angel of Death] seems to be the most interesting character and I can't wait for his book. Oct 13, Jen Davis rated it liked it. This was a book with potential. The premise: years ago, four favored archangels were given the gift of soulmates. But before they could join with their archesses, members of their brethren interfered, wanting the women for themselves. The creator sent the women to earth to protect them, and their mates chose to fall, in order to find them among the humans. Presumably, each archangel will get his own book as the series progresses. This one features Uriel, the first of the four to finally find This was a book with potential. This one features Uriel, the first of the four to finally find his archess. Uriel is living as a popular actor a la Robert Pattinson when he stumbles across Ellie at a book signing. She has no idea what she is or that angels even exist. But she has had mysterious powers all of her life and she is inexorably drawn to Uriel. There are two main foils for their relationship. One is Samael He also followed the women to earth and is determined to make Ellie, his. The other problem is a mysterious group of men that has been tracking Ellie and her powers since childhood. All of this sounds pretty good, but something didn't quite connect for me in the execution. There was a lot of repetition, especially in the early part of the book. Ellie's attraction to Samael was, while understandable, somewhat off putting. But the biggest problem for me was the lack of a discernible build. Uriel was besotted at first sight. Ellie's resistance was laughable. It's like she's supposed to be tough and strong, but also this shining beacon of good. Meanwhile, Uriel is a perfect, gorgeous, rich movie star. As if being a freaking angel didn't make him spectacular enough. It wasn't bad. It just didn't live up to its potential. The scene stealers in the story were Samael and vampire-angel Azriel. Perhaps, a story featuring one of them would grab me more. I wrote a long, spoilerific review about this book, the whole time banging the keys loudly with my angry typing. Then I realized, I don't need to bother with all of this explaining why I hate the story in agonizing detail. All I have to say is that Avenger's Angel must have been Twilight fan-fiction that got revised to include angels. I liked Twilight. No, I loved Twilight. But I hate this shit so bad, I want to scream until I lose my voice. I knew this was going to be bad when the angels got a I wrote a long, spoilerific review about this book, the whole time banging the keys loudly with my angry typing. I knew this was going to be bad when the angels got a TARDIS house to live in, and when the male lead was a super famous movie star playing a vampire, while his brother IS a vampire who's a world-famous rock singer like Lestat. Can this story get anymore shit? Yes it can. Clearly, the author wants to make this a series with four books repeating the same pathetic plot over and over. Four women, four angels, and each time, they're just prizes to be won. No, fuck that. I've read better penny porn than this shit. Now if you'll excuse me, I need a lot of strong drinks to erase this shit from my memory. Nov 21, Libby Wyatt rated it really liked it Shelves: books-i-ve- read-in I'm a sucker when it comes to books about Angels so I was hooked before reading it. This is very much an adult fiction so it was an interesting read as it was defiantly a new genre for me. I love the possessiveness of Uriel for Ellie and their steamy sessions were pretty well written. Haha there was certainly a lot of drama and it was very much problem after problem which made it a quick read and hard to put down as I wanted to know how our heroes would overcome these dramas. Loved the quick rea I'm a sucker when it comes to books about Angels so I was hooked before reading it. Loved the quick read and look forward to reading the rest of the series Apr 13, Vashti rated it liked it. This is my first read by this author and it was a good read,not great,but good. I enjoyed the storyline about the Angel's lost mates sent to Earth and they each 4 have to find them. There were times ehrn zI wanted to chuck it in ,but held on to the enf. Very intrigued about Samael,just love the bad boys and hopes that HKW writes his story. Unfortunately, an uprising threatening their safety made it necessary to cast them down to earth. Michael, Uriel, Gabriel and Azrael have been searching for their archesses for thousands of years. With danger closing in on them, will he be able to convince her of his devotion? As a being of free will, Ellie must come to love Uriel and accept her destiny. With good reason she has been hiding her abilities all her life. The idea to have them search for their soul mates attracted me right away and I knew I had to review this book. After enough background was given to get a rough idea of what the reader could expect the author fast-forwarded to the present and the story developed from then on. An archangel turned vampire with the powers of a reaper - a fascinating concept for sure. A needed element of suspense was given in form of a fifth archangel, who had followed them to earth with the intention of claiming one of the four archesses as his queen. I was surprised at myself for taking an immediate liking to him. Also, he was the first to acknowledge that Ellie was her own person and not to be forced into a bond. Each archangel led a specific life on earth, which in turn, gave the others a chance at an individual storyline. The author did a good job of bringing the struggle of surviving their human condition across. I love, love, love a paranormal romance that had its hand in the contemporary cookie jar. It made things interesting, especially because Ellie was well aware of who Christopher was, and kind of scolded herself for finding him attractive. I liked her. She had wit and was brave in the face of one surprise after another. She had every right to be afraid and confused. As I was reading a thought popped into my mind. She had no knowledge of being someones soul mate, but knew something must be the cause for her to have healing powers. No dummy this one. How did I picture Uriel? I was done for when he brought her coffee in the morning. Marry me, please? He could be a bit of an ass, an arrogant and VERY dominant ass. Prepare yourself for sizzling vampire sexy- schmexy. The built-up slowed down a bit after a great first few chapters and I was missing some Uriel-Ellie one-on-one time. Oh boy, oh boy, did it change for the better. My favorite moment was when he had to fight his vampire instincts and keep it together around her. Very intense. Same goes for the suspense: on hold until halfway through the book, but then I was suddenly glued to my Kindle. Nonetheless, I absolutely enjoyed this read and recommend it to all fans of PNR. Loved the plot twist in the end! A great showdown. Beware of Spoilers! She was his arches. And she was…scowling at him? It was devouring the core of his being. Like, The Princess Bride, five best kisses ever kisser. Was Richard Armitage in here somewhere, too? Her creep-out-o-meter had just pretty much exploded. Nov 30, Sandy M rated it really liked it Shelves: paranormal , contemporary , vampires. Goodness, I have to say Heather Killough-Walden keeps the twists and turns coming in this first book of her new Lost Angels series. I like the concept of the four favorite Archangels being given freewill to come down to earth to locate their Archesses - their soul mates. Uriel, the former Angel of Vengeance, is up first. Having moved all over the country to keep her secret hidden, Eleanore is finally weary enough to think about staying put and fighting all who might want to use her abilities for their own gain. Unbeknownst to Eleanore, however, Samuel is truly Samael, the Fallen One, first archangel cast out and who is doing all he can to get his hands on an Archess. But she also gets some excitement out of it a few times, one being when Uriel flies her across the sky and along the coast and other places. I could go for that myself. Even in this form, however, Ellie discovers things about Uriel that cast him in a new light for her, touches her heart, and re-enforces her love for him. Uriel, of course, would die for her, if it ever comes to that. How close does he come? I thoroughly enjoyed it. But then it dawns me - for some reason I seem to be slow on this - after Uriel calls the other angels his brothers for the twentieth or so time that this deity is their father. Thus Old Man, as a lot of kids use to refer to dear old dad. Made more sense then. The new enemy I mentioned is one of those twists in the book. Killough-Walden does a very nice job at distraction and misdirection when it comes to these powerful evildoers, the Adarians. The powers all the characters are given throughout are a lot of fun, whether for good or bad. Yeah, I know, because it makes the fighting more interesting, tipping the scales in favor of the enemy so that triumph over them is more satisfying, but it would be nice to see those angels flexing some of those other abilities. That makes me wonder if perhaps down the road he might be redeemed and get his own heroine. I sure hope so. It would be fun to see his reactions to a soul mate loving him, trusting him, wanting him. Samael is even more striking, more powerful than the angels, but he has that smirk and attitude, an arrogance that drives you nuts when he uses it all for evil. But seeing how Ellie pulls something unexpected out of him, you can just imagine what a soul mate would do to him. One thing that has bothered me once I started reading is the cover of this book. That cover just shouts exactly what this story is about, especially once you get to the end of the book. The former Archangel Messenger, Gabriel, is next, and I wanted to get the flavor of his story. Everyone knows my love for angels and honestly, I think this is one of my favorites. The world, the characters, the story; everything just fit so well. I absolutely fell in love with this book and It seems I have found another great series full of hot brothers that kick lots of ass. So that is definitely a bonus. I loved our main characters. Uriel, the Angel of Vengeance, is a famous actor. His movie is based on a book that just happens to have a book signing at a bookstore where his soulmate archess , Eleanore Ellie , works. She has no idea what she is, but she knows of her powers healing and manipulating the weather and is trying very hard to stay low-key. I really liked Ellie. She went out of her to always help those in need even though it drained her and could expose her to her enemies. She never gave it a second thought and that is always a nice thing to find in a good heroine. She was strong and vulnerable all at once. They were all hot, but I think my favorite of the four was Azrael. He is not only an angel, but a vampire. He helped Uriel the most when it came to Eleanore, well he sort of had to, given that Uriel was cursed and ended a vampire like him. There was a sweet chemistry between him and Ellie. Like him looking out for a sister even though he barely knew her. But I pray his book is next, I am very curious about him. Seriously, I know you guys will love him. But like many great love stories, they need a villain and boy did we get one. So when he learns of Eleanore, he puts together a very clever and manipulative plot of getting her. He is the devil for all intents and purposes, but there was one scene in this book that made me unsure of him. And I actually believe he was being sincere in his weird way. We know he has lied about something about himself and what he actually is and his intentions are very unclear. I am a sucker for a great villain and I think Samael might be a favorite. I love where this story takes us. I like the idea of archangels coming to Earth to find the women that were made for them. And the things all these archangels do just to save Eleanore, made me love them that much more. I am definitely curious about the development here and what this means for the other archesses to comes. I liked that little bit and following Sameal, we get a taste of the man he is, but he is a very complex character. He adds a lot of mystery to this book. Now my compliant. It was explained in the book and I understand it. I like that Uriel and Ellie are in love and all. But it still makes me feel a little off and not in a fun way. The sex scene was a tad bit too much for me. Since Uriel was a vampire, he has extra powers specifically mind control. I know this sounds weird coming from me, but if you have read this, please tell me what you thought. Is it just me or what? I mean I understand it is what Ellie truly wanted, from what Uriel read in her head. But since it is her first time, why not make it steamy, slow, and sweet? Maybe it is just me because BDSM is a genre I am yet to start really need to ease me into this sort of stuff. I am not a prude, but I am still a good-old Southern girl. But I was a little disappointed with this scene and I was dying for it. Then again, after it was done, we find out Ellie may have been a virgin, but she was kinky. But seriously, why was the mind control needed? We know they want each other, why not let it happen naturally? Well, as natural as a vampire-angel hybrid and an angel can be together. Overall, I still enjoyed myself with this book. I love how all the plots merged together and I love knowing there will be more to come. These archangels really are to die for. I just pray the sex scene in the next one is better. Aug 04, Katie babs rated it it was ok. But before the angels could claim their mates, the archesses were scattered on Earth and lost. For two-thousand years, these four men have searched for their mates. Uriel now goes by Christopher Daniels, a heartthrob known for his wonderful acting skills as a vampire think Robert Pattinson from the Twilight movie series.
