First Impressions...It's by my favorite author, nuff said.The Characters...I LOVE Julian.  From the moment he was introduced, I was in love.  He's sexy and protective.  I never doubted him and I'm not sure why.  He's a fallen angel and shouldn't be trusted but his actions and feeling say something else.  It's clear who he is.As for Lily, she's spunky and sarcastic with a huge helping of "I can kick your behind while I polish off this carton of Ben & Jerry's".  But what I really liked about her was that she was trying to figure out who she was.  Julian saw her.  She only saw herself as duty and obligation.  The more time she spent with Julian, the more she realized that wasn't enough.Michael is a interesting character.  He surprised me.  I figured out a lot of what was coming in this book but not him.  I'm hoping he will have part in the next book because I really like him.  And now that I know what I do about him, I want to see more.The Story...I was pretty surprised when I started this one.  It's not typical of a JLA book.  Her books are normally from one or two POVs but this one is from many different POVs.  I've always had a hard time with books like that.  It takes longer to connect with the characters and it somehow feels like you miss parts when you're in someone else's head.  Once I connected with Lily, I was okay with this.  It's not my favorite style but it worked.The sexy level was high.  I loved the heat between Lily and Julian.  I could read about him kissing her all day long.I enjoyed the world the author created.  It's got a few twists on the angel lore.  I liked that.  I was able to figure out most of the twists and turns ahead of time.  But I still enjoyed the journey.Could I Put It Down...Well, I didn't have to so I didn't.  I was off work for a day so I read it pretty much straight through.In The End...It's not my favorite JLA book but I still loved it.  I want more.  I do think the multiple POVs may cause people to not like it.  But if you're into angel stories or love JLA then you should read this book.
