(Apparently demons don’t like to share, but they do like to torture each others’ victims because, well, it’s just fun to one-up each other.) Even locked in an institute for the criminally insane after she’s blamed for the brutal murder of her parents, Annabelle manages to defend herself from the demons who find her. Marked by a demon, Annabelle becomes a target for every one of its evil brethren. “Pretty yet razor-sharp” accurately describes Annabelle, the heroine. Also, bonus points to HQN for using a cover model who accurately depicts the ethnicity of the heroine. I love how pretty yet razor-sharp the woman is, and how her pose can be interpreted as affection or the moment before a violent crime. Normally I despise clinch covers (that’s genre-speak for “scantily clad passionate embrace” covers), but I love this one. The cover art certainly won my girlish heart. Zacharel is her only hope for survival, but is the brutal angel with a touch as hot as hell her salvation–or her ultimate damnation? Demons track her every move, and their king will stop at nothing to have her. But this warrior with a heart of ice will not be deterred from his missions at any cost…until a vulnerable human tempts him with a carnal pleasure he’s never known before.Īccused of a crime she did not commit, Annabelle Miller has spent four years in an institution for the criminally insane. Leader of the most powerful army in the heavens, Zacharel has been deemed nearly too dangerous, too ruthless–and if he isn’t careful, he’ll lose his wings.
