2.0 out of 5 stars KENYON fans beware! Not a DH novel!!, April 16, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Daemon's Angel (Paperback)

As a primary angel, Arina didn't have emotions, couldn't feel pain. When she takes the soul of a boy, his mother curses her. Only the death of a loved one in her arms can free Arina from her human body so she can become an angel again.

Daemon, branded and named a demon, only wishes to fight in hopes it will bring his death. Instead, the Norman finds himself the unwilling Lord of Brunneswald Hall. Finding a gorgeous woman who has lost her memory and isn't afraid of him also wasn't part of his plan.

Sherrilyn Kenyon fans beware! I have read ALL of her stories and love them! HOWEVER, I didn't like this story!

Daemon is a tortured hero, cursed in the eyes of God and very worthy of being a Dark Hunter. But Arina is a religious fanatic and I didn't care for her at all. With other medieval romances I've read the author(s) either toned down or lost completely the religious aspect of the hero/ines life. Having religion in the story became old; then it drove me nuts! While I can accept religion, I don't want to read about it. I think Ms Kenyon has done a good job at keeping religion in her heroines' life, but at the same time is what turned me off.

Arina is probably a great Angel, but I think I'll stick with Dark Hunters. The story was depressing, and I was a tortured reader (with this as my reading material on an international flight!!) so I can't recommend DAEMON'S ANGEL.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sweet medieval, July 20, 2005

nitpick "nitpick" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Daemon's Angel (Paperback)

She was an angel cursed down by a witch, from there; this read like a historical romance. There were more elements throughout the story questioning her being a real angel or perhaps nuts(?). But for the most part I forgot what she was. Daemon is a true tortured Kinley MacGregor hero/lord. The villian was perfect and added humor. Glad I found a copy.

Cast to the mortal realm by an evil sorceress, Arina had more than her share of problems. She was trapped in a temptress's body, tormented by untested passions, and doomed to lose any man she desired. Yet even as Arina yearned for the safety of the pearly gates, she found paradise in the arms of a Norman mercenary. The villagers said Daemon was the devil's son, but he was only a man plagued by strange dreams--visions of a tantalizing beauty who enchanted him like no other, Then the enticing stranger appeared in the flesh, and he vowed nothing between heaven and earth would keep them apart. But to savor the joys of his very own angel, Daemon would have to battle demons--within and without--and risk his very soul for love.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great angel/medieval book, June 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Daemon's Angel (Paperback)

I've read every angel book I could get my hands on and this one was fabulous. Daemon is the most tortured, sweetest hero I've ever read. I wish I could give him a hug. The medieval background was also so well done that I felt like I was there with them. An incredible book with the most memorable characters you can imagine.
