Katherine (Katie) Logan is a cat burglar trying to help her friends pay off the nasty Black Fangs vampire gang.  All is going according to plan (if plans include robbing a politician) until the home owner comes home early.  It this then that Katie is forced to watch a tall, handsome guy cause the politician to commit suicide.  Unsure of who to run to, Katie contacts her brother, who in turn, sets up a meeting with the only men he knows than can figure out what's going on and keep Katie safe.....until Katie meets with the Bound Ones only to come face-to-face with the killer.Cain is one of only 4 Nephilim brothers (half angel - half human) left.  All of the rest, including Cain's brother, were murdered.  When a pretty, yet disturbed woman comes to their home and accuses Cain of murder, the disbelief is overwhelming.  Then Cain investigates the murder scene and finds a clue leading him to pause and take a step back.  His brother Abel, who was one of the Nephilim killed, has left his mark on the murdered corpse.  Now it's a race to find Abel first before he finds Cain and Katie.I've not had the pleasure of reading anything by Tricia Skinner before but I'll be reading everything she writes from now on.  Her ability to craft a novel is fantastic.  The dialogue between all characters flowed so well that I thought I was truly part of the conversations.  Cain is a hot hero full of attitude.  Katie is a scared woman who cares more about other people (her friends that she was stealing for to pay off the vampire gang)than herself.  Although, we get to see Katie become a fierce protector.The novel pulls you in from the very start and keeps the reader completely engaged.  There are no lulls, boring areas, or overly descriptive (flowery) sections.  The novel is suspenseful, dramatic, and romantic all in one.  I can't wait for the next installment of the Angel Assassins.One of my many favorite things about this novel, besides the author's mad skills at writing, is the location.  I'm a Michigander so the Faygo and Vernors references are not lost on me.  I'm a huge fan of books based in my home state.Review copy courtesy of the author, at no cost, in exchange for an honest review.
