Just want to try Booklikes. I have my own blog, Ren's Little Corner, written in Indonesia. Consider to visit it, please :)
Angel of Darkness - Cynthia Eden 4 stars.

Keenan is one of death angel. As an angel, he supposed to let duty over his feeling, since he can't feel anything at all. But why he's so hesitant to take a soul from Nicole St James, a merely school teacher that got attacked by vampire in front of the church? Instead took Nicole's, Keenan take the vampire soul, abandon his duty and face the consequences. His angel power stripped and he become The Fallen.

Destiny can't be much, much worse for Nicole. Attacked by vampire and bleeding to death, she awake as a creature that others otherwordly creatures despise the most. Can't resist her hunger and thirst, she suck blood, seduce, killing, even Nicole don't want to. Every Others want to take piece of her. That's when Keenan, already become Fallen, find her and decide to protect Nicole.

Nicole and Keenan must avoid their pursuers. Not just cop, shifter, vampire hunter that want to kill Nicole. But Azrael, Angel of Death, once Keenan's boss, think that what Keenan do is unforgivable. To cheat death. So Nicole just have 10 days left or all hell broke lose. Not mention that Keenan find his old power back, and he afraid his touch will cause Nicole's death. Things got complicated when another Fallen, Sammael or Sam try to intervene just to amused himself. Can Nicole escape from the death for the second time?

Angel of Darkness is the first book of The Fallen series, and the 2nd book of Cynthia Eden that I'd read after Bound By Blood. I like the idea of this series. Even angel's theme not new again, Ms Eden can make a twist story that full of action! But, this action part is a weakness too. Since I think the action and suspense is too much. All party like to chase and want to kill Nicole. It seems like Nicole and Keenan don't have time for themself. Sure they do sex and have some tender moment. But after that, another enemy chase Nicole again. I admit, it can be so tiring.

Another my problem with this book is Ms Eden's writing style. I don't know why hers is so different from Bound by Blood. Seems too simple. Sometimes one paragraph just contain one or 2 sentence. Sometimes just one word. I can't said her writing is juvenile, but I can't help myself frown when reading this. The plus side is, I like Nicole. She is a woman who you not want to mess with, but she also has soft heart. Keenan just okay. As for virgin hero, he's not too shy when it comes to sexual act. Which is good. But I want more sexy times between Keenan and Nicole. Another character that steal attention is Sammael, aka Sam. Sam is jerk, alphahole (alpha and asshole) that have his own agenda. But I'm already love him! Guest I always fall for this kind of frenemy.

Angel of Darkness might be not original, the plot kinda slow for some part, but the story is full action packed and contain suspense that will make you can't stop reading. If you love paranormal romance, mix with suspense, strong heroine, virgin alpha hero, a beguiling and seductive antagonist, this book is just for you.
