Death Angel Lost Angels Book 3 Heather KilloughWalden Books

After reading the sinister game I was very much looking forward to this book. While the story held so much promise, and delivered on it often, it just lacked something for me. It seemed the book was pages and pages of unnecessary explanation and defined on and on with internal monologues that would have been better as actual conversation. The relationship began with this intense level of sexuality, curiosity and mystery which left me clinging to the characters, but then it just fizzled out. The whole dynamics changed between the main characters, and not as part of the story. The book lost its drive and just droned on. It was still a good story wIth wonderful characters but I was expecting more which may the problem here. I had put this author on a pedestal after reading another novel. This was not the same caliber of writing. The end was, well not worthy of the rest of story. It was a happily ever after, but it was dull and unsatisfying for me. It didn't match the romance the two started it with.

This is a good author for sure. She has exceptional writing skills...especially compared to most authors out there right now. She uses words to wrap you up and drop you smack dab in the middle of something you know isn't real, but you feel in in your entire body anyway.

Azreal and Sophie were amazing characters with equally amazing stories. So much action, tension and excitement was packed into the first half of the book that I couldn't walk away. Then it fizzled faster than a fire without oxygen. I was lost and confused by this hoping it was a temporary lapse, but it continued throughout the rest of the book. I didn't get the two enigmatic characters I'd come to expect. Instead I got whiney and, well, weak minded. Again, not part of the story line. I expected struggles, I expected drama and I certainly expected struggle but that's not what I ended up getting. The love scene was good, but even that didn't measure up to the first half of the book. It is watered down and remarkably unbelievable in its lack of emotional and physical responses between the two.

I wanted to give this 4 starts, I really did, but my disappointment is just too great...so 3 stars it is. I still recommend reading it as the author is very good wIth words.

Death Angel Lost Angels Book 3 Heather KilloughWalden Books Reviews

"Death's Angel," the third novel in the Lost Angels series by Heather Killough-Walden, tells the love story of the archangel Azrael, former Angel of Death, and his recently discovered archess, the beautiful Sophie Bryce. I have read the previous books of the Lost Angel series and enjoyed them immensely, but this story, particularly the relationship between Sophie and Az, raises the series to a new emotional level. Az and Sophie each carry scars that they try to ignore but which influence them throughout their lives. Sophie lost her parents as a small child - in fact, a week before her sixth birthday. They were everything to her and whenever she speaks of them or participates in the little rituals they shared, it's heartbreaking. Once orphaned she was raised in foster care, experiencing much trauma, some of which she has completely blocked out. Sophie has one person she is really close to, her best friend Juliette. However, Juliette is newly married to archangel Gabriel and residing in Scotland mostly while Sophie has committed to plans that will move her to San Francisco. She finds herself without Juliette and mostly alone.

The prologue to "Death's Angel," powerfully depicts the beginning of Azrael's suffering, 2,000 years earlier when the four favored first came down to earth. Az is changed like none of his brothers. Many of the souls he led away, as was his job as the Angel of Death, seem to have held a grudge against him and all of their ill will has cursed him and turned him into a vampire, a creature that never even existed before. Suddenly he is fighting to feed off Michael each night, ripping into his neck to make his own horrid agony go away. Azrael is filled with self-loathing, begging Michael to kill him and fantasizing about walking into the sun, now caustic to him. He sees himself as a monster. It's a gut-wrenching scene, vividly depicted and beautifully written.

Try as I might, I can't do justice to the relationship between Az and Sophie. Heather Killough-Walden has taken her story of the Lost Angels and split it wide open. She has taken complicated, painful feelings and wounded lives and created a complicated, nurturing relationship that is both magical and gutsy real at the same time. And so passionate. Az and Sophie do make love like two people who have found each other after a lifetime of longing. Sophie and Az have a love that does seem to have waited for them, and it seems less like the Old Man created Sophie for Az, and more like they're parts of each other. They heal each other as well as themselves. There are lots of other happenings in this book, but I don't want to spoil the story. Suffice it to say that the monsters get more colorful and new allegiances are formed.

Sometimes I get the sense that an author has reached out her hand and caught fairy dust, or dragon's breath, or the whispers of bards long gone to deliver the magic of story. What I mean to say is that there are times reading when it seems magic happens I bond with a character, or empathize so deeply and achingly that I can't easily shake the feeling. It's like crossing to another world. I know that's what reading is supposed to be about but some authors touch the magic more than others. Heather Killough-Walden is one of those.
