I kinda feel a bit of a party pooper giving it 3 stars, when everyone else so far has gone for 4 or 5.  Let me say, to get 5 stars from me it has to be in my top 10 - in other words, darned near best book I have read.  4 stars usually earns high enthusiasm and numerous recommendations.  3 stars means I did enjoy it, but it may not be on a re-read in the future list.It is nice to have a paranormal that goes outside the normal if that makes sense.  I love how the angels in this story, really don't have that much of a handle on how humanity is on a day to day level, or what makes us tick, and that in a way made them very endearing.  They really do have a sense of naivety and innocence, yet at the same time you just know you do not want to mess with them.  Shapeshifting is not something you want to encourage, unless faced with a seriously bad dude, where it can in fact be a rather useful trait.I think it did take a while to warm up, and that may be what held me back from giving 4 stars.  Also the humour could have been a little more obvious as there were many opportunities for humour to prevail.Recommended?? Overall, yes.  It is well written, and as a storyline it is a refreshing one to see in a genre that has been done to a death. (Scuse the pun there).
