So I had just finished reading Ruined, and I have to say it I was in a state of shock it had a twist that I never saw coming, and it blew me away. After reading the epilogue, which I loved, I was left with more question that answers. So when I read that S. Pratt had written a novella from Angel's point of view that was available to 1-click I need I had to read it, and I had to read it now.Angel was such a mystery in the first book, I liked him, but he did annoy me with some of his actions, but now after reading his point of view, I feel I have a much better understanding of who he is as you really get to discover what he is thinking and his feelings by the end I loved him."Every day I just wanted more. I realize I may have to be careful not to scare her off with the intensity of what I'm feeling" ~ AngelI loved being in his head; you discover his awful early childhood, his love for Bailey, and how deep it was. Why he made the choices that he did. The pain he goes through when he leaves and tries to stay away from her, and my heart melted for him when I read this part."I'm sorry Bailey; it's for the best". Without giving her another chance to break down my walls, I make the biggest mistake of my life. I leave. ~ Angel"I find myself increasingly unable to stay away from her, despite my best intentions to try and let her live a normal life"~ AngelI really enjoyed this novella. I will remind you it's not your typical love story, but it was sweet, steamy and emotional. I loved that as the time frame for Ruining Angel is before, during and after Ruined has ended I didn't feel I was rereading the same plot, there were so many new elements that really added to this story.I'm really pleased that S. Pratt wrote this novella, as overall I think it worked better on its own instead of being part of the original story. By the end I felt my questions had been answered, I was happy and dare I say it I still liked Bailey. My only complaint I wish it could have been longer.If you have read Ruined and enjoy it then I highly recommend that you read Ruining Angel you won't be disappointed. I do disagree with S. Pratt I personally don't believe this book can be read before Ruined, I really suggest that you have to read Ruined first to get the whole experience.Ruining Angel get 4 stars from me.A couple more quotes,This woman was definitely worth all of it. Every single bit of heartache, pain, tears, despair, and sorrow, because the good parts far out-weigh the bad " ~ AngelI've learned a lot. Never give up, always have hope. When you feel in your gut that you need to do something, f***ing do it. Even if it doesn't make sense, do it" ~ Angel
