I finished readingDark Knight in Disguise I: Earthbound Angels Book 1 (Earthbound Angels 1: Dark Knight in Disguise)and was looking for another book about fallen angels. That was when I found this book. Of course Apollyon has fallen a bit further than Erick however he's still looking to gain redemption. He wants to make his way to freedom and get out of Hell where he's been stuck for a very long time, guarding the Devil himself. And then suddenly he does. Suddenly he's being called by someone that has the power to bring him out of his banishment and into the world. That someone, is Serenity.In this book you'll see two people that are maybe a little more dark than in traditional romance novels. He's a fallen angel after all. And she's a witch casting vengeance spells and seeking absolute revenge. But the two can't help but feel a connection to each other. They can't seem to ignore the idea of the passion that could come about even though they are most definitely not allowed to be together. It's going to be a fight for them to get together and even more if they should decide they want to actually be together.If you like romance but you're a little tired of all the really good people always getting what they want then this is for you. These two aren't the good guys in anyone's story. They're actually rather dark and some might consider them the bad guys. But they just might be getting what they want. It's a bit of a twist on the normal style of romance, which I thought was pretty interesting. That's what really drew me to this book and kept me flipping pages until the end of the story.Names are kind of a thing with me and the fact that they had not so common names wasn't something I was a big fan of. But of course Serenity is a witch and Apollyon is an angel and that means their names would typically be less than common. I couldn't help but be intrigued throughout this book however despite the names of the characters since their story was just so interesting and kept drawing me in. I couldn't seem to put this book down even when I knew that I should just because I wanted to know what was going to happen next.I know several romance novel fans that I am sure would like to read this book. The fact that it has romance would draw them in however the fact that it's a big twist on the normal storyline would keep them interested. I know I'll probably be reading this book again just because of that twist and I'll be looking for the rest of the series as well.
