The Angel by Tiffany Reisz
5.0
Warning! Do not read The Angel unless you have read The Siren. And if you haven’t read The Siren, run to get a copy, and buy The Angel while you’re there.
The Angel follows the story of Nora Sutherlin and her lover Søren some months after The Siren has finished. Søren is in line for a promotion that he doesn’t want, and a reporter tipped off anonymously that there is a ‘conflict of interest’ regarding him, comes sniffing around. To keep her safe, and their relationship hidden, Søren sends Nora away, and there are two plot lines for the rest of the book: one of Nora and one of Søren. Nora goes to the country home of mad, bad and dangerous-to-know Griffin Fiske, and takes with her the Angel of the title, Michael. Søren remains behind to thwart the reporter.
This book again gives an insight into the world of kink, as Nora and Griffin renew their sexual acquaintance, and Nora begins Michael’s training. There are as many tender scenes as there are kinky (and hot) ones (I’ll never look at my dining table in the same way), as Michael begins to accept himself in the way he is accepted by the other two.
Meanwhile we find out quite a bit about Søren’s back story, meet some of his family, and run into the delicious Kingsley again. Most readers will have more empathy for Søren after seeing another side of him, although the intimidating sadist is still there.
Reisz’s work continues to excite on an erotic level, and please on a literary level, and I will remain in a state of anticipation until the next book of The Original Sinners series, The Prince, comes out in November.
