Angel's Fire, Demon's Blood [Kindle Edition]

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Millions of people believe in the world of spirits. In their hearts, they imagine the past mingles with the present, where ghosts seek unattainable loved ones, and linger in a shadowed realm beyond sight.

Luke Angeles’ weekly television program, Those Among Us, brings those lost souls to the public. In the supernatural world, his crew of adept investigators offers solace and salvation, redemption for the lingering spirits caught between two worlds.

He believes in that realm, more firmly than any skeptic could imagine, and only investigative television reporter Eva Keyes dares to question his sanity.

Her cynicism would disrupt the perfect facade he’s erected over the centuries.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book that makes you go "wow"..., February 13, 2009

This review is from: Angel's Fire, Demon's Blood (Kindle Edition)

Lucian D'Angel has roamed the earth for centuries. Cursed with immortality and an ability to see spirits, he has tired of life over the decades. Only Angel's Fire can set him free.

Imagine Lucian's surpise when he finds his Angel's Fire in the form of a small child. Evangeline Keegan is not like anyone Lucian has ever met. Not as a child and certainly not as a woman.

Staying out of Evangeline's life, but never far away, Lucian watches over her until she's grown. Now that she's a reporter, he has a chance to get to know her... by agreeing to do an interview. Imagine his surprise when he loses his heart to her - an organ he has long thought dead. But will Evangeline return his love? Can she love a cursed man who has given up the will to live? And more importantly, can she make him change his mind...

While this story starts out in times gone by, it quickly jumps to the present day and takes off at a dead run. Suspense, intrigue, romance, sibling rivalry, ghosts, and a group of psychics... you name and it this book has it! My hat's off to Ms. Quijas for creating such a delightful tale. I can't wait to see what she'll write next...

This review is from: Angel's Fire, Demon's Blood (Paperback)

I had read Blood of the Beast, written by Tamela Quijas, loved it and ordered Angels Fire, Demons Blood immediately. Our story begins in the past over 400 years ago. Lucien and Julian were born in St Lorraine and cursed because of their fathers cruelty to the people of his rhealm.

We then move to 20 years ago, when Lucien weary and tired of walking the earth alone, gathering souls and wanting to die came upon a ray of light, a lost little girl Evangeline Keegan. She was with her brother Reese who had perished in war and was a ghost that stayed by her side to protect her. At a young age Evangeline believed in ghosts as children do. Lucien hoped she would end his misery , watching and waiting for her to grow up and kill him and end his curse.

Evangeline grew up to be a beautiful reporter and had her own TV show as did Lucien. Her stage name became Eva Keyes and his Luke Angeles. He granted her an interview about his TV show . Eva now grown does not believe in ghosts and the paranormal and Luke now heads a paranormal research team.This is their beginning.

Ms Quijas takes us on the ultimate ride encompassing ghosts, demons.and a sensual love story and the question to be asked and maybe answered. Can love conquer all...??? and more importantly does Salvation and or Redemption of a souls curse need to be death...Cannot it be life.

I highly reccommend this book

3.0 out of 5 stars A strangely hypnotic tale, August 9, 2009

This review is from: Angel's Fire, Demon's Blood (Paperback)

A tale of two brothers and the curse that binds and divides them...

This is a true fairytale of evil redeemed to good. It has prophecies, almost immortal beings, and damned souls. It also has a heroine who doesn't believe a word of it. Eva Keyes thinks the paranormal is a bunch of hooey. Lucien D'Angel is the creator of the TV "reality" show Those Among Us, which explores or exploits the paranormal, depending on your take on such things. Eva thinks he's a great big fraud, and is determined to prove it. Lucien's waited almost 400 years for the woman of the prophecy to set his soul at rest. He believes Eva is that woman, and that she must kill him. Eva's denial in the face of overwhelming evidence, including the ghostly visage of her long-dead brother following her around, is almost comical. Almost.

This is a long book in need of tightening. The fairytale verbage, the use of passive verbs, and the telling make for a slow read. The descriptions are luminous, but pages of Lucien standing in the rain contemplating what it feels like on his skin made me skim. Entire pages. The author knows her characters intimately, but for the first time in a while I found myself wishing for less internalization and more action, dialogue...something to keep the story moving. I started looking for quotation marks. Some serious pruning, a hard word search for "was" and "had" and this book could be stellar.

I love a good fairytale. This book has almost everything going for it. The telling is strangely hypnotic and I really liked Eva and Lucien. When Eva and Lucien butt heads, the interchanges are pure magic. But it takes a long time to get there. Once it did, the magic of their first kiss was pure poetry. Despite the above named issues, I really did love this book.
