Angel Kin is a phenomenal re-launch of author Tricia Skinner’s remarkable writing style. I was worried when I heard the Angel Assassins series was going through transition (new publisher) – Angel Bait, the prequel, was a 2013 favorite of this reader. Angel Kin is the story of Cain, a Nephilim assassin, and Katie Logan, a not-so reformed thief.Only The Bound Ones can protect Katie after she witnesses a supernatural murder. Unfortunately, one of the men assigned to protect her has the face of a killer. Rescued as a child by Tanis, Cain is one of only four surviving Nephilim – all others were put to death including his twin brother Abel. It is apparent that Abel is seeking revenge against Cain for past transgressions.“While you lived in Heaven, I was sentenced to life in Hell.” – Abel to CainThe author tugged this reader’s emotional strings – the relationships both romantic and hereditary were very dynamic. The tension ebbed and flowed throughout the story. Every page reflected true realistic emotions between Cain and Katie – tenderness, trust, acceptance, intimacy, and love. I would have enjoyed just a tad more of the bond between Cain, Jarrid, Kas, and Nesty.This review also appears on Harlequin Junkie.Disclosure: This book was provided to me free of charge for the sole purpose of an honest review.
