Huge sigh! I sooo have a new book boyfriend! Phenex...Fallen Angel of Song...ginger haired, black winged, smart ass, complete package of yumminess all wrapped up and delivered to me by Kendra Leigh Castle!The Demon's Song is Kendra's brand new Hearts of the Fallen series and even though there are vamps, weres and other supernaturals in this one, the focus is all on a group of Fallen Angels, on the run from Hell, working for the white wings as mercenaries to keep the balance or push it towards the side of good and protecting the supernatural city of Terra Noctem in exchange for a place to live.In typical Kendra fashion, the story is full of fast-paced action, terrific characters, and a healthy dose of humor. Sofia proves to be rather feisty and determined. Phenex, though he guards it closely, has such a big heart you just have to fall in love with him.I'll admit that a few times I thought maybe I was missing something thanks to some references to a couple of secondary couples...and it turns out that there is actually another book, Renegade Angel, and novella, Vacation With a Vampire: Vivi and the Vampire, published by Harlequin that proceeds The Demon's Song. You DON'T have to read either to be caught up in The Demon's Song (and even though I've had them downloaded onto my Nook I hadn't read them yet).I really enjoyed this new world that Kendra has created and can't wait to see what's in store for the rest of the Fallen.Favorite quotes from The Demon's Song:"You're not going to try to hug me or something, are you?" Phenex grumbled. "You've been into some weird s*** since you got married.""I can't believe you blew off hunting to play housewife. I should have brought you an apron. With puppies and kitties on it even. Maybe some ribbon."~GadreelPhenex gently took the biscuit from her, examined it for a moment, and then, in a blur of movement, pelted Gadreel with it. It hit him squarely in the forehead before landing in his bisque, making it splatter.Gadreel bared his teeth. "I was playing.""So am I. It's a game called Whack-a-Douche. I just set the all-time high score."
