Book exchanged for an honest review:Alyx Rayer is a Protector sent to Earth to watch over her Mark. Alyx appears to have it all great job, apartment, and boyfriend but what she feels for "painter man" makes her feel different. She's not suppose to have any contact with her Mark but she secretly watches him paint from a neighboring building. Isaac Walsh has been dreaming about angels for a very long time now and puts those dreams on canvas he paints. Isaac is a single father raising his son Micah since his wife passed away five years ago. Alyx needs to tell her boyfriend the truth about how she really feels and not to lead him on any more than she already has. Alyx's friend Cindra helps Alyx not feel so lost. A strange man in a black suit wearing fedora makes Alyx's tattoo sting whenever he's around. Alyx has always been told that she'll know the correct time for getting her Mark needs to be. Will Alyx be honest with herself? Who is this strange man? What is Isaac really dreaming about? How does Cindra help Alyx? Your answers await you in Marked for Vengeance.This is definitely a very different take on angel lore. I liked that the author didn't assume everyone knows about angel lore. I appreciated the attention to detail large and small. I loved Alyx's internal struggle of wanting to watch Isaac for no other reason other than she wanted too. Alyx's struggle made her easily relatable for me. I loved the build up and suspense the author created. I will definitely continue with this series.
