This isn't your everyday angel book, which I was glad to see. There's a little more contemporary feel to it than fantasy or paranormal. Every angel has a warrior at their side. They are destined from the beginning to be soul mates. I wasn't sure about the whole soul mate thing in the beginning, but as I made my way through the story, I enjoyed the way Amy Lignor took different twists and turns so even though these two are meant to be together life isn't easy.There aren't many times that I actually like the prologue of a book, but this is one of them. From the very beginning you get a feel for who Emily is. Sure she's an angel, but she's not one that is soft and sweet. She's a strong character that's easy to relate to. It's told in first person, whereas the rest of the book is in third. I was a little surprised that this didn't bother me too much. I think it helped set the tone for Emily.Matt is passionate, loving, and a warrior through and through. I enjoyed his story and loved the chemistry between him and Emily. The balance between Emily and Matt is about as good as one can get. Gabriel, Michael, and Mark are probably my favorite characters. They are archangels with a sense of humor to go along with their caring, protective, and sometimes gruff personalities. It was nice to see some of the story told from their point of view to get an outsiders perspective of Matt and Emily.
