Angel of Darkness

Cynthia Eden never fails me!

Angel of Darkness is the first book in Cynthia Eden's new series, The Fallen. It introduces you to new characters, but inside of the same world from her previous books. Somehow they all connect.

Keenan is the Angel of Death. He collects souls and has been doing it for thousands of years. Never once has he had any problems or has he gotten attached to any of the souls on his list. That is until he meets Nicole. Who, for whatever reason, brings everything inside of him to life and he can't help but feel when she's around. This is all very new to Keenan. He has never known what it's like to have emotions. Things quickly get out of hand and Keenan becomes one of The Fallen. Even with everything that has happened to Keenan, he still can't help his feelings for Nicole. He searches for her for six months and when he finally finds Nicole, the story just gets even crazier from there. You don't know who the good guy is and who the bad guy is. If you are familiar with Eden's books, then you know what type of rollercoaster ride she can take you on.

Angel of Darkness is a great start to another great series. I don't doubt the following books in this series will be amazing! I was hooked from page one to the very end. I love Eden's books and love how lost I can get inside of her worlds. She is a great writer with one wild imagination. I recommend Angel of Darkness and any book she has ever written. I promise you won't be disappointed!

Cynthia Eden’s fascinating world of fallen angels is downright addictive. I was intrigued with the characters and enthralled with the story.

In this world of Angels, Demons, Wolves and humans, no one is immune to any emotions. However, Angels specifically are impervious to any feelings. They live to serve and execute duties as told. They took lives, as would a grim reaper, to bring death and take souls.

Unfortunately, a few will sway from the norm and will fall. Keenan is one of them, a fallen angel. Unable to help himself he had judged and decided to take the wrong soul. His last charge was destined to die by the hands of a vampire who intended to rape, drink and kill her. Because of his transgression, he had set a series of events that was never meant to be. And his punishment is to live on earth without his wings.

Nicole St. James is a schoolteacher who did everything by the rules. But sh*t always happens and well, the last incident just changed her life. She became a creature she never thought existed. To survive, she had to abandon the rules she was used to, sinned and continue to live the best she can.

It is obvious why this fallen angel disobeyed his one sacred duty. Keenan didn’t know it but it was apparent that it was because of his lust and love for Nicole. This book reminded me of the movie City of Angels with Meg Ryan and Nicolas Cage, a story of an angel’s forbidden love for a human being. However, Ms. Eden’s fallen angel is nowhere close to Nicolas Cage but more like Chris Hemsworth. Keenan looked like "..the best sin.." I've ever imagined. As I thought of Chris as Keenan, I fell deeply in love him. It wasn’t just his looks but because he was pure and innocent of his feelings. It was romantic, how he would seek her out and how much he is willing to give up for her.

Trust is a big thing for Nicole but because they were in a midst of fighting for their lives, she was left with little choice but to grant it. Don’t get me wrong, Keenan rose to the occasion of earning that trust and it brought out the alpha in him. Although, Keenan is a virgin, their love making was intense and not one to miss. This virgin angel is all kinds of yummy!

The sub plot about the wars between the factions are interesting. You can feel all the bad blood between the Angels, promising a lot if drama and excitement.. Azrael and Sammael are two Angels to watch out for. Second installment to this series is to release mid this year and I cannot wait to meet more of the angels.

Give Me A Hot Angel Anytime!

You have to love anything by Cynthia Eden. She give us a really great spin on angels. I loved Keenan and wanted to hear more about his. I also felt so sorry for Nicole St James. She had gone through so much. This is a great start to a new series that I can't wait to read the next one.

Romancing the Book

I love Cynthia Eden’s books. I’ve read a good many of them and have become a big fan. However, this book wasn’t one of my favorites.

Keenan and Nicole were easy to like characters. You can’t help but feel for him at the very start of the book. His dilemma of duty verses love pulled at my heart right away. I liked the fact that no matter what happened as the book progressed he never wavered in knowing he’d made the right choice.

Nicole, the reluctant vampire, had her own inner demons to slay. She was glad she didn’t die in that alley but at the same time she hated what she had to become in order to live. In the end she embraced the fact that now she could fight for herself and for her man. I think it was important for Nicole that she was able to repay Keenan for saving her life.

I enjoyed the character, Sam. He brought a mystery and edge that was needed. I’d like to know more about his selfish reasons for helping Keenan and Nicole.

Cynthia Eden didn’t disappoint me with the fast pace and hot love scenes I look forward to in her books. Her description of New Orleans was just as I remember it. From dirty alleys to stealing motorcycles you feel like your right there with the characters. I just felt this book lacked the imagination of her other work.

Quote: “He was scared of you”
“He should be”
“ I’m the vampire, but he was scared of you.” She turned and caught his arm with her right hand. Her left still gripped the sheet and held it just above her breasts. “Before I go any where with you, I want to know just what the hell you are.”
That same grim smile tilted the corners of his perfect lips.
“I just told you, sweet, I’m your guardian.”

Contemporary, Texas, Mexico & New Orleans


Nicole St. James was a school teacher until the night she was attacked by a vampire. Then her world is turned upside down. Now she has to learn how to live in a completely different world. Everything is completely different now and Nicole is fast learning that all she believes was true in the world isn’t even close to being what the world is really like.

Keenan is the Angel of Death and it was his job to take Nicole the night she was attacked. Instead he took the vampire and saved Nicole. It cost him his wings but he knows that Nicole is more than worth the sacrifice. When Keenan finally catches up with Nicole again he finds a vastly different woman than the one he saved. Now she isn’t as innocent and she has long fangs.

Now Nicole is determined to make those that helped turn her into a vampire pay for what they have done. Except when it comes to a Fallen Angel than she is more interested in teaching Keenan the fun to be had with some sins rather than teaching him a lesson about what she has turned into. Now they are going to have to find away to survive with heaven and a good portion of hell after them. Nicole may have survived once but if she isn’t careful she won’t survive a second time.


This is another wonderful story from this author. This book takes the reader back to the author’s paranormal world. While it touches briefly on her other series it is a story that is completely stand alone. The world building is really good and brings the characters to live for the reader. It also has enough twists to make sure the reader is never quite sure what will happen next and what the motivations for some of the character is. If readers enjoy books with angels as the heroes this is one not to miss.

Wow!

Our Review [by LITERAL ADDICTION’s Guest Reviewer – Kathy Miller]:

Have you ever read a book where by the 2nd or 3rd chapter you knew everything there was to know about the book? When finishing the book becomes just an exercise in reading. Angel of Darkness by Cynthia Eden is nothing like that.

I was lucky enough to win an ARC of this book, and I was hooked from page one.

Keenan is an angel of death who has fallen. Nicole is a victim of a savage vampire attack, turned vampire herself. They both struggle to adapt to their new worlds, his...living in the human world, hers....living as an ‘other’.

This book is full of twists and turns. Lots of "I didn't see that coming" moments. And the sexual chemistry between Keenan and Nicole sizzles.

I highly recommend this book. It's a definite must have!

LITERAL ADDICTION’s Guest Reviewer gives Angel of Darkness 4 ½ Skulls and would recommend it to all Paranormal Romance addicts, Urban Fantasy lovers and anyone who just wants a great book to curl up with.
