3 ½ stars – Paranormal/Urban Fantasy Romance

I’m an avid, loyal J.R. Ward fan and love the Fallen Angels series, but this was a bit disappointing.

This one was hard to get through in some parts. Usually one of my favorite tropes, but, kept putting it down when I had it in ebook format (twice). Finally got in on audio and finished it off.
