Kitty's review posted on Guilty Pleasures 
 The first book in the new JR Ward Fallen Angels Series gets you prepared for the battle betweengood and evil. Ms. Ward incorporates characters from her extremely popular BDB series while introducing us to her new cast - Jim Herron and his band of (no so) Angels Vs. Devina. So, you know that you won't be disappointed at all with this series. 
 In Covet, Jim Herron is introduced to us. He is the "chosen" to help 7 seven people find the right path as they reach a crossroad in their life. Jim was chosen for his equally good and bad qualities and was agreed upon by both heaven and hell. 7 Battles - 7 Flags - the winner takes all. The Catch - Battles must be won by "free-will", it's okay to influence them but free-will cannot be compromised or the battle is forfeited. The prize: He saves souls - all will be well in the world and beyond. He losses souls - the world as we know it will be no more - taken over by the demons of Hell. 
 We also meet Adrian and Eddie, Nigel, Colin, Byron and Albert (Bertie) and, the demon from Hell - Devina. We can't forget "Dog". I'm still not sure what/who he is or where he fits into the storyline, but I do need to mention him. I am sure all will be revealed in good time. Everyone plays an intricate part in the series and all will become clear as the story unfolds. But, before everything becomes too clear, the first soul needs to be saved - Jim needs to decide if he is going to be working for "good" or "evil" ... the Angels have an ace - his mother is in heaven and to save her from everlasting damnation, he needs to "save the souls" not lead them on the path to Hell. 
 Battle Number 1: Jim Vs Devina to save the soul of Vin DiPietro. Vin is an extremely wealthy man and has a woman on his arm that is "to die for". Literally! Vin doesn't love anything or anyone but money - he buys anything that he wants and he has decided that he would marry the beautiful girl that he has purchased - Devina. Enter Jim and the beginning of the saving of his soul. But, will Vin listen to him - will Jim lead him on the correct path - will Devina win the first round because Jim was mistaken with the path that Vin was supposed to take? Well, not if Marie-Terese has anything to say about it. 
 Marie-Terese is a prostitute at the Iron Mask and Trez is her protector/mentor/big brother - just like Rev used to be. She hates her life, she hates whoring herself but she sees no way out. She has a son to protect from an abusive ex-husband/father that kidnapped him. Her only salvation is her religion, until she meets Vin and her life starts to change. But, she is being stalked by a madman - is it her ex-husband or another person. As people are getting killed for being with her at the club, Marie-Terese decides that she just can't do it anymore. When Vin is implicated in the murders, she has to step forward, she has to reveal herself. She is falling for Vin and won't allow him to be investigated because of her selfishness. 
 Marie-Terese brings out the best in Vin. He laughs, enjoys her and feels things that he never thought he would. He has a past that he is trying to hide from her. She has a past that she doesn't want to reveal. Together they work through their feelings and distrust and begin to form a relationship. Problem, yea, in the form of Devina. What is Vin to do with her? She found the ring (with the help of Jim) and now he needs to break things off. But, in doing so, he endangers himself and Marie-Terese. Let the battles begin! 
 J.R. Ward again weaves a tale of good vs. evil in a way that only she can. The writing is terrific and the storyline is intriguing. Her characters are explosive and sexy - whether they be good or evil. She gets you absorbed into the book and has you page turning quicker than you can finish the previous page. She incorporates love, hate, good, evil, and laughter thoughout the book. She keeps you wanting more. You will need to hold on tight through the wild ride of the Fallen Angels.
