Beau is such a kickass character! When I first saw the title, I assumed it was referring to 2 separate characters (one an angel and another one the fighter.) So I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that the title referred to the main character, Beau.this gif basically sums up BeauOkay, so I'm going to dedicate an entire paragraph because I simply fell in love with Beau's character. First of all, it's refreshing to have a female protagonist in a YA paranormal novel that can actually fight for herself instead of needing a prince charming coming in to save her.  I think weak female characters in 90% of the YA paranormal books I have read is the main reason I normally don't read that genre anymore.  But the book description for Soren really caught my eye, so I decided to give it a go :)  I love how Beau acts really mature (particularly compared to her friends) and truly cares for her mother (who, btw, is sick with cancer, hence why Beau is taking on some illegal jobs to earn money--read book blurb above for more details.)Speaking of characters...there was quite a large number of characters to keep track of in this book. Although each of them definitely had their own personality, I found a few of them to be "flat."  So I guess that is probably my biggest quip with the book--a handful of the characters seemed 1 dimensional to me (particularly the school bullies.)  Nevertheless, I enjoyed the diversity in personalities.The romance was a little bit of an insta-love scenario, but it was still very sweet. The pacing was set at a decent clip--there might be one or two slower chapters sprinkled throughout to give readers time to catch their breath, but other than that, it was nonstop action.  I also enjoyed how the author switched POV from the villain's to the protagonist's.***a free copy was given in exchange for an honest review***
