Mrs. Showalter does it again. A fantastic start to her new series Angels of the Dark. What better way to start than with Zacharel. He is incredibly goregeous. The fact that everything is pretty much a first for him is definitely a different way to take this kind of book. Most of these kinds of books the woman is the pure innocent one without any kind of sexual experience, this time it's the man.
I just...there are no words. I loved this book and the fact that Annabelle is incredibly strong. Not physically but she is a strong female lead. She takes care of herself, fights back, and makes sure she survives. She has to be strong with everything she has lived through. In my opnion Annabelle is perfect Zacharel. She challenges him at every level. She makes him feel and after being closed of for such a long time it's no easy task. The the exchanges between the two of them is great. I a chuckle at how much she could frustrate him.
The angels are definitely yummy. Zacharel is incredible of coarse. His back story about what makes him so emotionally detached is heartbreaking. It wasn't something I was expecting but at the same time fit perfectly within the book. Only Annabelle can help to feel again and ease his way out of his own darkness. She slowly shows him that he is not to blame. That he can be forgiven because she forgives him. Through forgiving himself and actually letting an important part of his life go can he truly heal and have a life with her.
I am really looking forward to reading more of this series. We get Koldo's book next and I am sure it will be great because seriously it's a book by Gena Showalter, how can it not be great. But what I am really looking forward to is getting Thane's book, Bjornes book, and most of all Xerxes book. We don't get much interaction with Xerxes but I think he has allot to go through and hope to read about it in the future.
Looking forward to book 2 Beauty Awakened
