Review: History + Myth = deliciously hot Romance

Raze, one of the Fallen cast down from heaven after bedding mortal women, is being hunted down after killing a vampire set on world domination. It wasn't exactly the best time to get to know Ms. Right, and now he has to protect her while coming to terms with his own feelings.WHAT I LIKED:- Ms. Day certainly knows how to weave mythology into the present. She blends Biblical lore into modern-day settings seamlessly. The world of 'Rapture' includes vampires, angels and lycans, and Ms. Day creates a lovely blend of myth and reality which helps the reader swallow the fantastic elements of the story that much easier.- Interesting characters that jump off the page is another thing I love about this story. Raze and Kim come with their own baggage with angst which are neither petty nor irritating. They come together to find solace for one night in each other's arms, but they find that with every second they come together they heal each other's emotional wounds. It's a beautiful thing to read about. Even the secondary characters (which I understand will become leads in their own books) are interesting and definitely worth reading about.WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE:- what's not to like? At first I was thrown off by the word 'proceate' which confused me as to whether Raze was vampire or lycan. However, it did not detract from my enjoyment of the story.Highly recommended! I'm getting my hands on the rest of the series too!
