The Fallen Angel of Death Azrael finds a young woman in an
alley being attacked by Shifters. He has spent six months
in what he considers hell, having been stripped of his
wings. For years he has stood by and watched Death come to
some he hadn't thought deserved it and sometimes not to
those who did. It was his job. Well... that was his job but
no more, he's been booted out of heaven after all. He is no
longer an ANGEL IN CHAINS, he can let loose his anger and
frustration, so he dives in to rescue this woman.
Jade Pierce isn't your average human. She knows there are
things out there that are not human. She has been running
from someone she thought was just a normal guy, Brandt,
since she was 17. She escaped him but lost her parents and
anyone she gets close to. Perhaps a fallen angel will be
able to end her misery once and for all. What starts out as
seduction to get the Fallen to help her get rid of Brandt
is only the beginning of a wild ride with stormy sex, Death
Angels at her door, a hellhound and dubious witches. And a
Fallen who finds his redemption, an opening back into
heaven that he just might not want now that he has found
heaven on earth.
ANGEL IN CHAINS is fantastic from word one to the end. It
is filled with unlimited action as well as the opening of
wary hearts who find themselves in this unusual situation.
Both Az and Jade believe in the beginning that they are
using the other, he to receive redemption, she to end the
misery that Brandt has cause her. But in the end the Fallen
Angel makes the right choice with the help of a witch who
just doesn't want hell to be on earth. A fascinating
mixture of characters and some funny dialog adds to the
whole wonderful mix. The author [Cynthia Eden] even has you
sympathizing with the bad guy in the end, which shows how
amazing her ability with words is. ANGEL IN CHAINS will go
into my read again pile while I look for past The
Fallen>
and wait for more to come.
As a fallen Angel of Death, Azrael is cursed to walk the earth alone in search of redemption. One night, as he wanders the streets of New Orleans, he discovers a woman surrounded by panther shifters. No longer able to contain the anger simmering within, Az summons his dark powers and attacks, determined to protect this innocent human from certain death. Only Jade Pierce is no delicate flower. She's spent years learning to survive and fight the evil forces sent by her ex-lover who refuses to let her go. But after seeing Az in action, she figures she could use a little supernatural help. And so she plans a course of seduction guaranteed to arouse his interest and his angelic passions. . .
