A beautiful, angsty fallen angel with a penchant for music and song. A goody two-shoed nurse who stumbles into the secrets of the underworld. It seemed that this would be another cliched supernatural romance. It wasn't. I liked everything about this book. A lot of supernatural romances have their main characters living everyday lives as average joes in disguise, but Castle included Terra Noctem. Terra Noctem is an underground city/world where the supernatural and creatures of Hell can live their own lives. The detail that Castle included was fascinating. The romance was surprisingly believable due to the vulnerability shown - Phenex was disillusioned with humanity and wasting away with guilt. Sofia on the other hand had lived most of life on the straight and narrow, not bothering to truly live and experience new things. Phenex and Sofia, though I hate insta-love, simply fit together perfectly.  My only complaint was that the book was rushed at certain parts and the plot could've been fleshed out a bit more. As much as I loved Phenex and Sofia, I was especially interested in the stories of the other vampires and fallen angels. I'm ready for book two and am upset that I have to wait :-(
