Quick Thoughts for a Quick Book: For a short read this was a fantastic listen. In fact, I think I found a new way to enjoy shorter stories. For some reason, narration added an extra layer to the story and it felt deeper than if I read it. Kendell and Zeke were both well-rounded characters that I was rooting for the whole way through. The mystery was well-planned and thought out. I thought the story could have been longer and deeper (there was just something missing I couldn't put my finger on) but overall I enjoyed it. Great read for an afternoon on the porch!
Audio Thoughts:
This is my first time listening to a book narrated by Romy and she did a pretty good job. I think she made me like the book more than I normally would have but I didn't get a chance to get used to her male voices. It sometimes takes me a bit to warm up to male voices done by females and in short books that time just isn't there. I will give her another whirl though!

Angels are my PNR cup of tea, or at the very least, one of them. I really enjoyed the hero and heroine, but I felt as though the romance was quite rushed. I didn't believe in their quick attraction, , and between that, plus trying to solve murders, plus the masked man routine was just entirely too much going on at the same time for the word count.
With that said, I thoroughly enjoyed the writing style immensely. The author is quite talented. But this book did fall in to the paranormal pet peeve for me. At one point, the hero does not believe that something is plausible and pretty much shuts the heroine down. I was like 'dude! YOU HAVE WINGS! and can shoot fire from your hands! Nothing should be implausible for you!'
With all of that said, I am interested in reading more books in the series. There was action, some suspense, and an eventual resolution, I just wish we would have had more space to really figure out what was going on.
