The Angel by Tiffany Reisz
5.0
I'll assume anybody reading this review will want primarily to know if this second book of the series (not counting short prequels) lives up to the incredible vitality of the first (The Siren). Is it still fresh and new and intriguing or is it more or less a repeat of the first? Well, the answer is obvious if you look at the extremely high average star rating of all Amazon reviewers.
The answer is a resounding Yes! Not only does it live up to the first book's appeal it takes off from there. To be honest the first book left me with a little bit of distaste at the very end as it seemed our heroine, Nora, was not destined for a happy ending but rather a retreat into her past life. But with this one we get to see so much more about that life, especially about Soren who, as we get to finally know him and his history, becomes a real character and a sympathetic one at that. Along the way we have an excellent plot that builds tons of depth into some merely peripheral characters from the first novel. Put all together, these two books complement each other nicely and pull the reader along to the next in the series.
And, of course, the erotic scenes here are very well done; sensual, sexual, and passionate and never just thrown in but always serving the larger plot. I very much look forward to book number 3!
