Lacrimosa (Requiem #1)

by Christine Fonseca

Some sacrifices should never be made, even for love.

Nesy is the best of an elite group of angels, warriors called Sentinals, charged with one job—vanquish the UnHoly. She’s never made a mistake, never gotten emotionally involved, never failed.
Until she comes face-to-face with Aydan.
He is evil incarnate. A fallen angel that feeds off the souls of others. Everything Nesy is supposed to hate. But she can’t, because he’s also the human love of her life; a love she was never supposed to feel.
Now she must choose between doing her duty or saving Aydan, a choice that will cost more than her life...Or his soul. 

 REVIEW: 

Nesayiel, (Nessy) is a Sentinel, sent on a mission to destroy the beasts who prey on the innocent. 

Disguised in human form she hunts her prey, but when the moment comes for her to carry out the task the demon reminds her of Adam, her lost love.

Confused and bombarded with memories she is unable to kill Ayden and she flees the scene. This decision eventually leads to many of her brethren dying by Ayden's hand which causes her more pain and torment.

This deep Angelic love story revolves around the memories of Nessy and Ayden's love, when they lived another life. Before their paths became separated by the Dark One's devious plan and readers will be swept up by the characters emotions and torment as they struggle to understand their feelings.

Lash (Broken Angel #1)

by L.G. Castillo

A fallen angel. A forbidden love. A decision that dares to defy the hands of fate.

Decades after being banished for saving a life he shouldn't have, a fallen angel, Lash, is given a chance to redeem himself. His mission: protect Naomi Duran. The assignment proves to be anything but simple when the Archangels withhold key information about Naomi and refuse to restore Lash's powers. When an unexpected source reveals centuries-old secrets, his trust is shaken to the core, and he begins to doubt those whom he had once considered to be his greatest allies.

Determined to avoid anything that would risk his chances of returning home, Lash struggles with the greatest obstacle of all--his growing feelings for Naomi. But when her life is threatened by an unknown source, Lash questions the wisdom of the Archangels and his ability to keep her safe.

Soon, Lash will have to choose where to place his trust--in the home he has fought so hard to regain or in the forbidden love he can't bear to lose.

REVIEW:

Lash, (Lahash) makes a decision to not only save the boy he was assigned to but also saves a young girl for the impending doom of a plane crash.

Smug with immaturity, he is cast out of Heaven by Gabrielle for his mistake and as penance is now confined to the Earth to live among the humans in human form. His task is to watch over the girl he saved from the wreck, Naomi.

This unusual and quite twisted Angelic story by L.G. Castrillo is a great read and I am sure most readers will become attracted to Lash's bad boy charms very quickly.

 

Lillian Holmes and The Leaping Man

by Ciar Cullen

At the cusp of the twentieth century, an heiress turned detective enters a world of deception and danger and must learn to trust her nemesis with both her life and her love.

Tormented by a tragic past, Miss Lillian Holmes nonetheless found the strength to go on, to become the greatest female detective of her time. To make her uncle proud. Except...he was not truly her uncle. Sherlock was a fictional character, and Lil was less a true detective than a sheltered twenty-six year old heiress with taste for mystery...and morphine. But then she saw him. Leaping from her neighbor’s second-story window, a beautiful stranger. With the recent murders plaguing Baltimore, here was a chance to
reveal the truth.

Except, the Leaping Man was far more than he seemed. A wanton creature of darkness, an entry point to a realm of deception and evil, and to a Truth she had waited countless years to uncover, he would threaten far more than Lillian’s life. He would take both her heart and soul. And she would rejoice in it.

REVIEW:

Lillian Holmes is known to be an eccentric heiress who tinkers with inventions, One night, from her bedroom window she witnesses a man leap an incredible distance across the roof top of a neighbours residence. The next morning she learns her neighbour has died a mysterious death.

This book by Ciar Cullen is a suspenseful tale set in olde London town, when women were believed to be odd if they defied conventionality. Lillian is such a woman and is threatened by her guardian with being locked away in an asylum for her interest in inventions and walking the streets at night, investigating strange abnormalities.

With the threat of being locked away she hesitates to warn the authorities about what she witnessed the night her neighbour died.

Lilian Holmes and the Leaping Man is an intriguing read, full of suspense and is a interesting take n vampire romance.

Ciar Cullen has written an interesting story which will keep readers enthralled to find out what lies waiting for the beautiful, intelligent Lillian Holmes, who seems to have very few people in her life she can depend on and trust.
