RA McCandless’s Tears of Heaven is an urban fantasy tale, that’s also an action adventure story.  I never really gave this genre much thought.  I had read it before, but put the books into other categories.  This one is a can’t put down story that keeps you turning pages to find out what happens next.We meet Del in the far past and know something is special about her from the start.  She stands out from those around her, and we know that she isn’t what she appears to be.  Bought in a slave auction by Dami, we know he isn’t your usual slave owner either.  He doesn’t know what he’s just brought onto his ship and that she will change his life in ways he never thought of.The story moves to the present and we once again join Del.  We find out that she is one of Nephilim—a mix of angel and human, and she has a job to do—reluctantly she must serve the throne.  If she doesn’t she will become the hunted, much like those she hunts.The demons we meet are what we expect, nasty, out for the kill, and out for power.  The angels on the other hand are not at all the white robe wearing winged creatures everyone thinks they want to meet.  And Del is not the sort of protector anyone would want to meet, especially if you have done the throne wrong and gotten on their bad side.I loved the characters in this book, the settings and descriptions are vivid without overdoing it.  The book is a fast paced read, moving along in a way that it is hard to put down.  My only complaint was that it came to an end, I wanted to spend more time with these characters and in the world RA McCandless created.
