Review: Wonderfully entertaining as usual

Xandra is one of my favourite characters and I can truly identify with her "take no prisoners" attitude and lack of diplomacy. I have been accused of that myself a time or two and know the feeling of foot in mouth disease on numerous occasions. We start off with Xandra and Kallen having to become right-hand fasted due to the fact that the rings on their fingers are blinding everyone and broadcasting the fact that they have had sex. Yes no privacy among the Fae that is for sure and if it was me, I would have gotten naked with Kallen a long time before this so you have to admire her restraint. Tabitha has been kidnapped by goblins no less and a rescue attempt must be planned in record time as she is being held captive in the dragon realm which is not an ideal place considering the dragons treat the goblins as their own private food source. After a shotgun wedding is organised (just kidding) Xandra is about to kiss Kallen and she opens her eyes to find that she is not with Kallen any longer but with the angels. To make matters worse, she is in the body of Raziel the archangel who changed her destiny because he loved her enough to want her happiness, talk about an invasion of the body snatchers feeling. So that meant Raziel's soul transferred into Xandra and he ended up kissing Kallen instead - talk about an awkward moment to tell the grandchildren one day. I so did not expect the changing of bodies element which took me by surprise but it adds a depth to both characters  and having walked in each other's shoes both Xandra and Raziel understood each other more. Plenty of magic and mayhem as somehow Xandra needs to get back into her own body if she ever wants to be with Kallen again, rescue Tabitha and save everyone from the dragons. There is the matter of being overwhelmed with all the knowledge of the world that Raziel has to attend to. I do recall something about Xandra challenging the Angel of Destruction to a magical duel which has future repercussions and learning how hard it is to fit in when you are not really an angel but a witch fairy in disguise. It should be a walk in the park right but with Xandra life is always a bit messy and complicated and the ending leaves you anxiously awaiting the next chapter in Xandra's life. Thanks Bonnie for a wonderfully entertaining read, I enjoyed every minute of it.
