Great book..when do we see more?? Really interesting twist on Angels and the Garden of Eden. Loved the military action and plot. Hope to see more in the near future!!

About the book: A naked man, confused, searching for the exit in a dark, slick tunnel, finds his way out and onto a highway where he is nearly hit by a truck. Two sad, winged creatures watch as the truck driver takes off with the naked man in the passenger seat. And thus is the prologue for this intense action packed tale. A black tower has been exposed in a corn field in the Midwest. A team of archeologists has been lost within the black tower – or have they? Three teams of highly trained men, lead by Steel, Dane, and Thorne enter the tower to recover the lost archeologists. During the rescue attempt, Dane’s team is attacked by beautiful women that have uncanny strength, speed, and the ability to stop bullets. One of the creatures runs off with Dane’s second hand man, and when Dane gives chase, he finds himself in hand to hand combat for his life. As he is losing the battle, he asked the creature what she wanted. “You,” was the only reply. She stabs his hand, pinning it to the floor. After confirming something with her companions, she pulls up his wounded hand and sucks his wound until Dane’s world turns black. There is so much more to this than a simple rescue. The general running the operation demands one of these creatures be captured alive. Is this just the army and the government talking or is BioChem Industries, a huge chemical and production company, also involved? Captain Steel and Dane are forced into the role of trying to capture one of the creatures alive, but something simply isn’t right. And just what does Steel know that he isn’t telling? Unfortunately, after Dane’s fight, even though he was allowed to live, he seems to be connected to these creatures via the wound he received. This complicates his mission but as Steel and Dane dig deeper, the unholiness of what is actually planned for these creatures becomes clearer. My Take: This book has several things going for it. It is a brand new take on angels, who they are, why they are, and their relationship with man. It is refreshing to see. The book is truly non-stop action. There is little down time as the story moves from one conflict to another. I was engaged throughout the entire book. Jackson-Fink completes the character of Dane, and while I was wondering why Steel wasn’t better fleshed out at first, her approach to this character becomes clear later in the book. The dialog never bogs down the story, most of it clearly moving the story along. There are a few problems with the book as well. There are a number of typos. There is at least one spot where the scene break symbol shows up in the middle of a scene, which caused me to reread the area a couple of times. I have a serious question about how Hanna, one of the creatures, was injured. And finally, the resolution with Raymond, the villain, doesn’t fit with his character up to that point and seems forced. Overall, this book was fun, interesting, hard to put down, and internally consistent with, maybe, the exception of Hanna’s original injury. My Recommendation: I really enjoyed this book. If you like an action drama with science fiction/ fantasy overtones (no witches, werewolves, or elves), and you can overlook a few typos, I believe you will find this a great read. There is foul language and some sexually centered ideas, so caution should be used for a younger reader. (R-17)

Nonstop action with some great twists Ok, first, if you see this book sitting on the shelf in the store, you’re going to pass it by. You see a few choppers and military, but what really hits you is the picture of a girl in the top left corner. She has this dreamy look about her that makes you automatically think ‘oh. sappy romance.’ Don’t let this fool you. Yeah, there’s definitely some romance. Not just romance, but the type you find in really good supernatural books where it’s strong, deep and lasting. It’s more than most human types of romance love. For me, this book was about the action. I had so much fun reading it! Imagine your favorite end of the world or action movie. You know that part where you’ve sat through the first part of the movie and you’re finally getting into the nitty gritty good part of the movie? Yeah…well this book starts there and keeps you there until the end. It starts with thrilling action and keeps pounding it, but not in a way that tires you out. It’s exciting and fascinating. I have to admit, I wasn’t overjoyed at the angel angle, but Collette did a great job of adding some new twists. If action and supernatural is your thing, this a must read. My only complaint is that the book has been left in such a state that a developing series isn’t a possibility. Not unless she really pushes some time jumping. This is one of those books that’s well worth the money and you’ll want to share with friends and family.
