Review: Great plot, original take on angels and demons

I really like the premise of this book. The take on angels and demons is interesting and unique, though I'm still not clear on if the main character is an angel or something similar to one, but weaker. That's never really explained. Regardless, the main character is a strong warrior, sensible, and I have a soft spot for strong female characters. The plot line of the book is really intriguing, and I must say that I'm glad we got back to it by the end of the book.I got a bit annoyed in the middle when Israel is introduced. She's his guardian, but that means that there has to be isntalove? I didn't like that, nor did I like the way it changed her character from the strong, unshakable warrior she originally was to someone who was horribly unsure and almost obsessing over her love interest. I can understand it, given that she's trying to understand the nature of what she's feeling, not to mention the guardian bond, but I still didn't much care for it. It made the middle of the book drag for me, because it seemed much of it was stuck in what I like to all 'relationship land'. No real story advancement, just relationship building.There were points where I was actually worried it was going to turn into a 'damsel in distress' story, but thankfully it doesn't. The story seems to settle out and we see the strong warrior re-emerge. The last third of the story picks up with the action and the plot, and definitely leaves you wanting to know more about what's going to happen in the upcoming books.
