Oh my gosh, I LOVED this book! I'm so glad I finally had a chance to read it! The writing was beautiful, and the words just came alive on the page! I also loved the setting of Prague. It made me really want to go visit!
I've read loads of angel books--fallen angels, good angels, bad angels, but this book took it to a whole other level! And normally, in an Angel war, there are demons. Well, this book had demons, but not any demons that I've ever read about. Its funny, because at some point, one of ...more
