Synopsis

Ronan, once the archangel Remiel, chose to fall from Heaven after breaking angelic law. For centuries, he lived and worked among humans as a bounty hunter. An encounter with the mysterious mage Alice Worth in the so-called Broken World forced him to violate angelic law once more to save millions of lives. Cut off from his kin with his wings and power bound, Ronan is a man without a reason to live.

Arkady Woodall left a dangerous job at the Vampire Court to return to the profession she loves most: PI. Now she's Alice's business partner, and for the first time in years she's calling her own shots. Most of all she wants to find Ronan, who'd shown up in Alice's yard beaten nearly to death and then vanished again as soon as he'd recovered.

Sparks fly when Ronan and Arkady cross paths and stumble upon a kidnapping in progress. What starts as a rescue turns into a deadly mystery that sends them on a chase from the city's most depraved depths to its grandest penthouses. When their shared addiction to danger sets them against a powerful enemy, Ronan and Arkady realize their only hope of survival is each other, but a devastating secret might spell doom for them both . . .

Contains mature themes.

I do remember I liked the story but wished for more depth and something to really grab onto to make me love it. Sorry, that’s all I’ve got on this one.......more

Goodreads review by Ignacia on December 18, 2022

I know about the Alice Worth series but there are a lot of books so i thought about starting with this one instead. A fun (and funny) little paranormal detective story, with a side of magic and good banter between Arkady and Ronan. Her cockiness and badass made this an enjoyable read. I'm not really......more

Their previous appearances in the Alice Worth Series always hinted at untold stories and griefs and this b......more
