I wish I cared more about this book, which was by no means bad.I have read some enthusiastic reviews before getting it. The plot is interesting (the only non-monster Nephilim linked by blood to the only still human Demon), the action is there, the characters are nicely drawn, the dialogues smart.....However, the girl does complain too much or screams or whatever, Marcas is so cold and remote he seems out of place(probably he will develop more over the sequels), Connor and Monroe's roles are not quite clear (they cannot seem to prevent or protect anything, they are just along for the Dayton ride).The only great moment of the book for me was when Dayton discovered how to use her Angel powers. Except that, it seems the whole book was intended as the beginning of a great adventure with not too great a beginning.
