A fallen angel…An immortal human…A race against time…

When two souls born on opposite sides of the battle between Heaven and Hell team up to find a sacred antidote to a supernatural disease, the balance between good and evil are forever altered.

Isabel, a Paradisian Scholar, is an immortal human trained in the ways of Heaven and Hell. During her last battle, a dark force erased specific portions of her past life memories. She remembers little, save for the fact she's a demon slayer mentored by the archangel Gabriel. When ordered to a new post to help translate a volume of ancient text from a forbidden verse, Isabel’s path crosses with a dark prince, Nicolai, who is in a race against time to stop a deadly virus, which he unknowingly unleashed, from threatening his kin. Nicolai needs Isabel’s help, and she finds the tempting creature hard to resist. Secrets are revealed as the efforts to keep the virus from attacking again unfold.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than I expected February 16, 2012

I noticed that the reviews of this book are all 5 stars. I know that the book had to have some flaws but I decided to take a chance on it anyway. It was actually pretty good. It hooked you right from the first page. I mean I didn't see some of the twists that were coming. I mean I had an idea about one but it didn't actually turn out to be exactly the twist I thought it was. It was an excellent book. The only reason I knocked off 1 star (and it would have only been a half star if I had the option) was because I would have liked more of an ending. I felt like there were issues that were left hanging. I don't know if the author is going to turn this into a series or not but I would read them if there were more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it! February 17, 2012

I'm a lover of the gothic genre from . . . well, lets just say a long time so I don't have to get into my actual age! Although I'm not as big a fan of paranormal, I decided to dive in and give this book a read. I am glad I did! Ms. Armae does her research and I absolutely loved her ability to blend and weave a story around ancient teachings of angels and demons. Her heroine was strong and independent, something I love seeing in romance novels and her heroine was self-reliant but vulnerable in all the right ways. There were plenty of twists and turns in the plot that kept me guessing and a few that surprised me in a good way. A great read that I thoughly enjoyed . . . I just wish that it had lasted longer because I had originally planned to enjoy it over my vacation next week. But I got through it much too quickly!

5.0 out of 5 stars A match made in heaven and hell... April 22, 2012

By L. A. Smith

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

This was an action, romance, double crossed packed book. So many ways the story took you through twists and turns. This book is a perfect heaven and hell match up. Isabel is a Paradisan scholar, an immortal human and is mentored by the Archangel Gabriel. She is sent on a mission to help a demon by the name of Nicolai whose uncle just so happens to be know other than Lucifer. Nicolai is trying to save his remaining family from the curse he accidentally unleashed that killed his wife and sons. She must help him translate an ancient text to put an end to the evil who wants to kill them all. They are drawn together and the chemistry is intense, but Nicolai secrets are many and they all lead back to Isabel. This book was like a cliff hanger at every turn, I loved it....
