kippins's review against another edition
DNF :*(
I think I nodded off twice so I'll just pop this on the DNF pile.
Read it all before & done better unfortunately.

I thought this was a novella but this turned out to be an introduction to this PNR world and basically a prologue of the relationship between our heroine and Raze, the sexy vampire.
There is some mystery plot where Raze is hunting some rogue vampires but my eyes glazed over while reading too so tbh it could be Humpty Dumpty for all I retained.
The world feels a lot like other PNR worlds that I’ve read - kind of like the Guild Hunter series by Nalini Singh - or frankly like any fallen bad-boy romance series (Immortals after dark, the J. R. Ward series etc etc). Not sure if this was a unique enough introduction for me to continue.
In the end I would have said that this is an ok series and more of the same which could work if you’re looking for an Angel / Vampire series - however, this particular book is not a complete story and left off without a resolution for the romance. I find that a cop out and for that I’m giving it one star in the end.

Sylvia Day has a way with words which are really really moving. This book was short but enjoyable. It does what it needed to do, kept me wanting. I may continue the series, I may not. We shall see.

Prequel to Sylvia Day's new Renegade Angels series. Sentinels are angels who are on Earth to watch over the Fallen, fallen angels turned vampires as punishment for falling in the first place, who in turn police over those mortals who have been turned. Raze, a Fallen, heads on over to Chicago to clean up a mess some turned mortal vampires have caused. Here he meets Kim and so the love fest begins.
Nice short. Definitely makes me want to read the rest of the series. I just didn't like how it ended. It's definitely open ended but yet unresolved. I would hate to think I won't see the Hero/Heroine in the series again. I totally enjoyed the spin on fallen angels being turned into vampires and hope that there is more background given in the full size novels. All in all it was a nice believable read which had me intrigued until the end.
Love this talented author so I hope the rest of the series is great.

This seemed more of a play to the fans of the series novella. I think if I had read the first few books in the series I would like it, but I havent so I didn't get into the characters. I couldn't get into the story, it was just missing something. From what I have heard of the series I think I will come back and see if I feel differently after reading a couple full length novels from it.

Story did not make sense. Really hard to follow. The romance and spice were rushed

I wish Goodreads had half stars because while this book doesn't deserve 4 stars, it definitely doesn't deserve 3! A definite 3.5
There was a lot about this book that I liked, but I just couldn't love it no matter how much I wanted too, although I have nothing but good things to say about it.
First thing, I really enjoyed both main characters. Raze was particularly lovely to read about.
Secondly, the story line was refreshing. I loved how even though it was set in an incredibly short time frame, it didn't feel forced or cheesy and that it didn't have some dramatic *all is happy* ending which wouldn't of fitted such a short novella.
Thirdly, I love a short book which is probably the reason I liked this as much as I did. Any longer I think I'd of gotten a little annoyed at Adrian, which leads me to worry about the first book in the actual trilogy that focuses on Adrian, with a storyline I normally avoid. Although I will definitely read it as I enjoyed Sylvia Days' writing style and I like the plot which included nearly ever PNR character you can think of!

Fun and witty. I love the way Sylvia Day writes. I went into this book with the intent on a fast cute read. And now I'm off to look up all the books in this series cuz I need to know what Raze is up to next. And can anyone tell me where I can find my own Raze?
