Here's my review of the books of yours that I read. Well let me tell you Dark Angel was so good I went and bought the 1st book. I'll tell you what made these books so good. They got right down to the heart of their story. No dilly-dallying around, just right to the point. The characters were well thought out and lovable. They had everyday fears about life even if the would live forever or with the Devil himself. A plus to both books. If you haven't bought Warrior Angel then do it now. Then be in line for Dark Angel when it comes out...;)
