Dark Kiss of Rapture is prequel for Day's new Renagade Angels series. The story takes place right before the start of the first bookA Touch of Crimson: A Renegade Angels Novel.  A Dark Kiss of Rapture stars vampire Raze, a Fallen angel who has lost his wings and who now helps to police the vampires, to keep his race out of trouble.When a gruesome calling card is left on Raze's door, he heads off to Chicago to hunt the killer vamp among the followers of a vampire he 'sanctioned'.  And waiting for his target to spring the trap that Raze has knowingly entered, he looks for a faceless one night stand to kill some time and instead hooks up with a woman who is totally out of his league but who finally makes him understand the reason that his brothers fell.This story is on the sexy side to start (and has some 'language' right away) but I enjoyed it. It doesn't quite have a Happily Ever After - but is open ended, so this pair may appear later in the series. The angel leading man from Touch of Crimson, Adrian makes a cameo here and Raze and a few of his fellow Fallen who appear in this story put in cameos in Touch of Crimson.
