A slightly shaky start to the book - a bit too much info-dumping and some rather over-the-top melodramatic scenes. However, once the hunt for the fallen archangel started in earnest, I was drawn into the story, and yeah, the sequels are now on my list of books to buy.

The angel twist - very unlike the angels in, say, Sharon Shinn's Samaria books. Instead, it was more of "right, what can be more bad-ass than a vampire... let's have angels!". Or archangels, rather.

I'd have liked more exploration of the angel mythology, possibly one for later books? And there was sequel-bait everywhere, not that I'm complaining - I vote for Ilium myself!
