Review: A good novel, but just not appealing enough for me!

The Seraph's contingency is that rare book, where author has a different story and tries to give a good book.  But somehow, I fall into the category of readers, who can't enjoy.The protogonist, Anael is an angel who comes to a purgatory wearing a smelly coat to hide her wings, just to look for some adventure.  Anael is naive and innocent enough to make me laugh with small mistakes in language and understanding.QUOTE:----------------------"The Irishman, Pete, satisfied he's broken up yet another bloody hen fight, ambles back over and squints at the crooner. "Those hands belong on your microphone, lad. If you value your job, go find it and quit hitting on our guest." ""The angel, eyes wide, states emphatically, "Oh no. There's been a horrible misunderstanding here. Darryl hasn't struck me. He might have grabbed my hand but I can promise you it's not in his heart to hit a woman ... Please, you must believe me, I can sense these things." "----------------------Bored in the Heaven and sneaking out for an adventure, Anael just finds one.  She is kidnapped by the Duchess, who wants to impress Lucifer.  Anael's wings were sawn off and she becomes a bit of mentally unstable.  Gaap, a transporter demon, is assigned to get Anael back safely.  Anael gets what she wants - adventure.  But, at what cost?  Will she make out of there safely?  And what about Gaap?Although started a bit slow at first, as the plot progressed, the pace also picked up.  More than the characters, the setting drawed me in.  It was different than the general angel-demon fights and the usual romance.  There are a whole lot of characters and species and its interesting how the author keeps bringing some new incidents to peek up the reader's interest.The problem (specific to me) is I need more romance or more fantasy.  The combination in this novel although good, somehow hasn't made me clutch my Kindle hard or skip my sleep.This, I suppose, is a good novel, but just not appealing enough for me.3.5 stars!
