 5 Stars 
 Well Tiffany Reisz did it! Her sophomore book in The Original Sinners series was better than the first. I loved The Siren but I would have to say I LOVE The Angel. This is a well written character driven novel about growth, healing and love. We learn so much more about Nora, Soren, Kingsley and Michael; plus, there is the added bonus of seeing Griffin again. This is not a romance novel and not your typical erotica. She's broken the mold on erotica and taken it to a whole different level. 
 It is a year later after the first book ended and Nora and Soren are back together again living life as any typical erotic author and an arrogant, sadistic priest do. He is on a short list of names considered for becoming a bishop and if that were to happen it would definitely change or end for them. In order to take care of things and protect Nora, Soren sends her and Michael away to hide out while an investigation starts by a reporter who is out to get the priest. Nora is heading to Griffin's estate and is there to start Michael's training as a submissive. 
 Nora is a strong individual and keeps living life her way but finds herself wondering what if when she thinks of Wesley. She recalls tender and loving moments at times which make me think she is having second thoughts on sending him away. I found her storyline in this book more vulnerable and endearing when her past is revealed. She still is the confident and fun loving character but has many dimensions to her persona. Her scenes with Michael and Griffin are both sensual and erotic but those with Soren are frightening and scorching. I can see how a person who is both a submissive and a dominatrix has to walk a fine line. When she sees her mother again after a 6 years absence a lot can be explained with that short encounter. I would have to say that was the most vulnerable I ever saw Nora and it was quite heart wrenching. 
 Michael is graduating high school and is slowly moving forward from his suicide attempt and trying to come to terms with his sexual identity. He willingly goes with Nora to Griffin's, anxious to be with her. What he doesn't expect is to feel an attraction to Griffin and want to be his submissive. You see a difference in Michael at the end of the story when he finds his place and love. I do not want to reveal too much about his story line because you need to read it to feel his yearning and desires. His spreads his wings and knows that he has friends who love him for him and all his kinks. 
 A new character Suzanne, the reporter coming after the priest, really did have an axe to grind. Her past clouded her thinking and made her only focus on retribution for past sins that another committed. She too had a healing of sorts, but possibly her cynicism isn't so jaded any longer. 
 And then there is Soren. What a complex Machiavellian. He is still an arrogant sadist but you learn so much about his character through Suzanne's investigation. His past is horrid but it shapes the man he is today. He has an extraordinary insight into people and how they truly feel and you see it played out amongst a few of the characters here. I am still scared of him and his sadistic scenes, but I have no doubt that he truly loves Eleanor. He has grown on me and is one of my favorite characters in this story. 
 This story flowed l from one chapter to another seamlessly. With multiple storylines going on simultaneously she left you hanging to return to another, but it moved the plot along and added to the mystery of who set this all in motion. This series that Tiffany Reisz is addicting and she has me wanting more. Thank goodness The Prince will be out later this year in a much anticipating release for me. I went to her website and found myself reading all that I could find and some of these short stories contain characters from The Siren. Please read these stories in order so that you the reader can get a better understanding of who these characters are. The Siren introduced them but The Angel developed them into wonderfully flawed, dynamic characters.
