This book is fantastic. It is the best I have read by Nalini Singh so far. I love her Psy-Changeling series (which is all I had read by her before this book) but this is my new favorite series. The alternate realities she creates are so interesting and her characters so real (despite being paranormal, of course). In this book, she creates a world in which angels and vampires coexist with humans and always have. I like the idea of angels as another species, rather than divine messengers, and vampires as not necessarily evil (no more evil than humans can be). The character of Elena reminds me in some ways of Mercy Thompson, my favorite paranormal heroine. Which is not to say she's a rip-off of someone else's character - she just has similar qualities. The book ends with a setup for a sequel, but it does not feel incomplete as a stand-alone. I look forward to the next book, due out in March of 2010.
