About the author
Kaye Chambers
9 books28 followersKaye Chambers has led a wild life. With her college degree in hand, she set off on an adventure to find herself. She’s soaked in the hot springs in Iceland in the middle of a blizzard, sat on a volcano to watch the magic of the Northern lights, stood on the coast in the eye of a hurricane, and been awed by ruins of pagan temples. Somewhere along the way, she found herself along with her wonderfully supportive husband and started her family.
Finally, she decided it was time to return to the dreams she’d left behind when she began her adventure all those years ago. Writing. With the new laptop her husband gave her for the effort, she hunkered down and found a writing group. This small group of women took her in hand, helped build her confidence, and encouraged her to do what her heart wanted. Finally, she started pounding out pages. When it was done, she had no idea what to do with them.
So, she started entering contests. Then she started revising…and entering more contests. Encouraged by the comments, she started submitting her work out to publishers and agents while turning her hand to other projects.
Making friends along the way, she’s beginning to see the results of her efforts. Come look into her Chambers of Secrets at www.kayechambers.com and share her vision of reality…

3 stars for the world building, but I don't buy the relationship. The dude was all intense fated mate without the actual explained reasoning found in were novels. The girl was all over the place, granted she had huge emotional baggage to deal with.
I would read the next if it was written - to see what the plot would be. The romance part is a bit one sided possible stalker overtone.
The romance in Tiger by the Tail was much more to my taste. Shame the short story didn't allow for more of the political machinations.

Don’t do any more favors for angels – that’s something Arabella Morrison needs to remember. Bella damaged the cosmic balance by committing suicide over her ruined life at the hands of her scumbag fiancé, so she’s been working off the cosmic slight by taking a job as a Reaper (as in Grim). Bella harvests souls, keeps the local population of shifters in line, and – when she she’s all-too-often talked into it – runs errands for the plethora of angels that pop in and out of her apartment.
The last thing Bella expects is the latest favor to throw her headfirst into the path of Gray Devereau, a devastatingly handsome half-breed angel. Bella’s more than somewhat wary of relationships given how her life ended, but a simple fling just isn’t something Gray seems willing to agree to. And soon Gray’s not the only sexy, difficult man invading Bella’s space. With a shifter rebellion threatening and a young half-breed angel’s life in danger, the usually solitary Bella has more angels, half-breeds, shifters, and Reapers in her afterlife than she ever could have imagined.
Deal with a brewing rebellion? Sure. Protect a child? Absolutely. Bring down the testosterone level of the clashing males in her apartment? Err…okay. Fall in love again? It’ll be a cold day in Hell before that happens…maybe…
The afterlife has never been so exciting as in this action-packed, fascinating book by Kaye Chambers. Angelic Avenger starts off what is sure to be an amazing series with a bang. Ms. Chambers brings to life a complex world of angels, shifters, and more, but weaves in world-building and her large cast of characters to the plot so seamlessly that the story flows perfectly.
Central to the tale is Bella Morrison, a Reaper with a one-way ticket to Hell waiting to be cashed in because of her suicide. Quite simply, I loved Bella, and this story would never have worked so well if she weren’t a lethal, caring, interesting character. She grabbed my attention from the get-go, as did her hero. Gray may be mortal (and I might have been left with a few questions about how things will continue to work between them), but he’s every bit a match for Bella. His powers stemming from his angelic parentage aren’t the only whammy he packs; Gray’s sensual personality does that well enough on its own.
Filling out Angelic Avenger are a whole host of supporting characters and I won’t spoil the fun by giving details on them. I cannot, however, write about Angelic Avenger without giving mention to one of Bella’s closest friends, Foras, the Devil’s General. Gray might be Bella’s hero, but I admit Ms. Chambers made me want to steal the dark, brilliant, sex-on-a-stick archangel Foras for myself (and it’s a true pity to me that I can’t).
As I am invariably distracting myself with thoughts of Foras, I’ll wrap up with saying Ms. Chambers definitely has me on the edge of my seat for the next Angelic Avengers tale (and no, not just because of Foras). All in all I found Angelic Avenger an utterly beguiling read with its kick-ass heroine, delicious hero, unique secondary characters, and intriguing, original world.

I enjoyed this book and had a fun time reading it. The world building was good, not overly complicated, as we are mostly in Supernatural Land, so expect Angels, Demons, Shifters, Grim Reapers... The characters are fun and at times down right narcissistic and egocentrics, but they have their perks and purpose for the whole bit.
The story is centered on Arabella "Bella" Morrison, a Grim Reaper, though not by choice and with an attitude. Her sole purpose is to harvest the souls that her bosses tell her, but with a reputation like hers, trouble was bound to find her sooner rather than later.
Being the boogeyman of the supernatural community, just by whispering her name can cause shivers... So why a tough as nails reaper would all of a sudden be tongue-tied-school girl shy over a guy she just met? And if that wasn't enough, the "guys" of her life, who all wants a piece of her (and not entirely going the sexy route) each with his own hidden agenda, the life or rather the un-dead life of this Reaper is surely going to be an adventure!
All in all, I recommend this book for Paranormal lovers and for a fun and light read.

Normally I don't dare read a book without checking the reviews on goodreads first, I took a chance with this one and I am please to say I am glad I did.
What a nice little twist to the urban fantasy genre - if you enjoy angels you will enjoy this book.
Bella is a Grim Reaper. Her job is what any normal Grim Reaper's is, guide the souls of the dead to be judged. But what makes Bella different is her attachment to the mortal world. She lives like a human, she socializes (or tries) like a human. She is also a sucker for Angels who always seem to recruit her for favors. Well she is about to chew off more than she expected by helping out one of her good Angel friends....romance, fantasy and hot men....a lovely recipe for a great story.
Can't wait for book 2.

Well... what can i say? It started interesting, but after a while it became boring for me and a little predicting so it made me skip to the end which wasn't even all that interesting (although i don't think i would have made the same choice). I find it a pity, since this is a book i normally would have enjoyed reading.

Good read. Great characterization, interesting people and world. Crisp, bright, likable attitude on the heroine that kept the story rolling. Well worth the purchase.

I have to be honest, I read this book years ago and can't remember much about it expect for the fact that I really wanted to read the sequel if the author ever wrote one.
