The start of this book was such an info dump, was the book supposed to be about Vin & Marie-Terese or Jim? It moved between many different points of view. I haven't read any of the BDB, so I have no point of reference for those characters that appear in both Ward's series. 
 Once I got past the initial part of the book, I enjoyed it, it was fast paced, plenty of action, I like the H/H together, although can we get an 'instalove' *what what* I thought Jim was a great character, I'd love to know more about him. I like the idea of having him be the one to save the world, rather than it just be a battle between angels & demons. 
 I'm looking forward to reading the next installment
