Yes, my loves, I know I started this last night, but yes, I am already finished with it. Why, you ask? Because it is so ridiculously, amazingly, awesomely smexxxxxxilicious, y'all! I cannot find the words to describe its smexxxiness in sufficient glory. *Drools and melts.* 
 Okay, seriously though: Y'all should read this book. The subplot of the insane Chinese archangel is a little better handled here than was the subplot in Angels' Blood, I think. Everything just flowed a little more smoothly. But one can tell that that's all it is - a subplot, no matter how suspenseful and creeptastic. The main issue of the book remains Elena as she learns to deal with the changes goin' on in her body, and Rafael's quest to keep her safe as she goes about it. 
 I love the character progression from Angels' Blood, not only on Elena's part, but Rafael's as well. Elena we came to know pretty well in the first book, how she thinks, her strengths, her weaknesses. It's watching Rafael grow and love and become just a little more human that holds my heart. He's an archangel, and a badass hunky archangel at that, and watching him learn to trust himself and love Elena just warms my lil' heartstrings. :))
