Romance Paranormal

As punishment for disregarding human life during his battles with demons, Zacharel is tasked with leading an army of angel warriors who are all perilously close to losing their wings for defying their Deity's. Tasked with all the things the other angel armies refused to take on, Zacharel and his army find themselves at the Moffat County Institution for the Criminally Insane, ready to take on all the demons crawling around the building. The undeniable temptation he finds inside the building though could lead him to either win back his wings, or cause Zacharel to lose his wings forever.

When demons kill her parents right in front of her, Annabelle Miller finds her life quickly spiraling out of control. Accused of their murder and then locked up, Annabelle has spent the last four years of her life in an institution for the criminally insane. A magnet for demons, Annabelle spends her nights fighting demons, real ones and human ones. Saved from her latest demon tormentor by a warrior angel, Annabelle can't believe it when Zacharel frees her. Drawn to Zacharel with an intensity she's never experienced, Annabelle doesn't know if Zacharel will end up saving her or becoming the cause of her suffering.

Gena Showalter's newest series, Angels of the Dark, kicks off with WICKED NIGHTS, a spin off from her uber popular Lords of the Underworld series. I have to say, no one does tortured, brooding, sexy bad boys like Showalter does. As for these angels, lets just say, these aren't your typical, nice angels. These guys will have you fanning yourself for hours.

Originally introduced in the Lords of the Underworld series, Zacharel starts off a bit cold but it doesn't take long to warm up to him and his deadly ways. Annabelle is just the type of heroine I love. Even though she has so much to cry about in her life, she doesn't. She's spunky and strong and doesn't let life defeat her. She's perfect for Zacharel and shows him why human life is important.

As an added bonus, fans of the LOTU series get to catch up with a few beloved characters. Showalter also introduces us to some other very intriguing angels whose stories I can't wait to read. WICKED NIGHTS is an exalting start to what, I'm sure, will be another amazing series.

SUMMARY

From the New York Times bestselling author who brought you the Lords of the Underworld comes a dark, seductive new series featuring angels poised on the brink of destruction....

Leader of the most powerful army in the heavens, Zacharel has been deemed nearly too dangerous, too ruthless-and if he isn\\\'t careful, he\\\'ll lose his wings. But this warrior with a heart of ice will not be deterred from his missions, at any cost...until a vulnerable human tempts him with a carnal pleasure he\\\'s never known before.

Accused of a crime she did not commit, Annabelle Miller has spent four years in an institution for the criminally insane. Demons track her every move, and their king will stop at nothing to have her. Zacharel is her only hope for survival, but is the brutal angel with a touch as hot as hell her salvation-or her ultimate damnation?
