I haven't read very many paranormal romances that center on angels, God, or demons. The ones I have read are phenomenal. Angel Kin is one of those.Katie's loyal to a fault, reverting to old habits to help out her friends. Though I don't condone stealing to solve her friends' problem, I do admire her willingness to put herself in jeopardy to help them out. It was just too bad she ended up witness to a murder in the house she decided to rob.Cain's loyalty lies only with his adopted family. He will do whatever needs to be done to protect his Nephilim brothers and angel father. His duller-than-dull life comes to a stuttering halt when Katie comes to him and his family for protection from a man who looks just like Cain. And just like that, his life is turned upside-down with the daunting realization that his twin brother Abel, whom Cain thought dead all this time, is alive, well, and coming for him.Cain and Katie's relationship is rocky from the beginning. She thinks he's the killer while he thinks she's a pest. Forced to stick together until Abel is found, their distrust and dislike for each other shifts onto toward mutual ground, eventually giving way to attraction that's been simmering between them since their initial meeting. But Cain can't afford a distraction like Katie, no matter how much he enjoys her kisses, her breathy sighs, and the way she molds her body to his. Too much is at stake, not just for his family but for Katie as well. And she means too much to him at this point for him to risk putting her in danger while he goes after Abel.There are dynamics to this story I didn't except, like the past that robbed Cain and Abel of the chance to grow up together, like the freedom that Cain enjoys that Abel does not, like Cain's willingness to suffer Heaven's wrath to undo the damage caused by his brother on Innocents. But what exactly is going on? Hints are dropped that something big is coming, something evil, something unexpected.Ms. Skinner's take on good vs evil with paranormal beings is sensational to read. She's crafted a world where half-breed angels fight to protect Innocent humans from dark paranormal creatures, where bonds are formed that run deeper than blood, where love finds a place to exist in the hearts of two very different people. Cain and Katie found their happy ever after ending, but what about Cain's Bound brothers? What about Abel? I can't wait to find out more about Ms. Skinner's Angel Assassins!***Received from Entangled Publishing for an honest review***
