Heather Killough-Walden's Lost Angels series is about four archangels who fall to Earth to find their soul mates known as archesses that were created specifically for them as a reward for their loyalty. But before the angels could claim their mates, the archesses were scattered on Earth and lost.
AVENGER's ANGEL is about Uriel, the former Angel of Vengeance. Uriel now goes by Christopher Daniels, big screen heartthrob. He's on his way to a book signing and meets, Ellie Granger. Uriel is stunned because Eleanore is his missing archess. He asks her out and she refuses. Ellie can't be in the limelight because she's in hiding from a secret group of men who want her for her special abilities. Around the time Uriel finds Ellie, another fallen angel named Samael does also. Samael was never given his own archess, so instead he'll take Ellie for his own.
Things start out with a bang in AVENGER'S ANGEL, but as the story moves along, more questions pop up that don't have any valid answers. If Ellie has spent years on the run, why doesn't she have an alias? She uses her real name. Also, the secondary story with her seems out of place in a novel like this. Some readers may also have an issue with the fact that Ellie's sole purpose is to serve Uriel. She was made with the intent to be owned by him and she really doesn't have any say in the matter.
AVENGER'S ANGEL is easy to follow and the characters' personalities stand out, mainly with the villain, Samael. Those who enjoy gorgeous fallen angel men in search of their female counterparts will want to pick this one up.
When four female angels were created for the archangels Michael, Gabriel, Uriel and Azrael, a chaos spurned by jealousy erupted, and the archesses were secreted to Earth. The four favored archangels followed, prompting a search that has last millennia. But for Uriel, the former Archangel of vengeance, the search ends the moment he lays eyes on Eleanor Granger, his one true arches. Can he protect her from the danger lying in wait for her-and win her heart?
