I was really excited to read this one because I am a big Bella Jewel fan and her books so far have been strongly original and exciting to read. There has been some controversy lately about authors stealing plotlines, paragraphs, whole scenes or dialogue from other books to write their own "new" book. I am on the fence right now because although I see similarities, I read SO many books that at one time or another I've read the exact same thing somewhere else...and I question if I have already read a particular book!That being said, I really liked how Angels started off (we have been teased with the first chapter of this book for weeks now, so I was excited) and it completely intrigued me and got my attention in a big way. The book was definitely readable and had some different elements (the whole drag queen thing and undercover cop stuff) but there was a lot of parts that were not so original and I know I have read similar characters/situations elsewhere.I'm not going to list them (a few other reviewers have already) but I will say that I have always trusted the integrity of Bella's work and I am giving her the benefit of the doubt.Contains scenes of abuse, rape, drug use and extreme violence...as well as a ton of very hot and not so vanilla sexual play. I am interested in reading the next one which will be about a threesome...two bikers in the club and a rescued rape victim.**** 4 **** "love is dirty and raw" stars
