My Review:
I have to admit I haven't read the first two in the series but I do know who Jim Heron is though! I advise to read the first two first though so you know what's going on!
Thomas "Veck" DelVecchio, Jr is the detective son of a serial killer and he lives with the guilt everyday. He's lying in wait for Kroner when the next thing he knows he is calling the cops believing he attacked him. He has blood on his hands and he has blackouts and enormous headaches.
Sophia Reilly is the Internal Affairs officer is assigned to investigate the Kroner case and becomes Veck's temporary partner. She believes he didn't attack Kroner and they are given the case of Sissy Barten who Devina killed.
Jim Heron is fallen angel who is obsessed with Sissy and is determined to find her body and get her soul back from Devina. His obsession with Sissy puts a damper on his fellow angels Adrian and Eddie. He promised her mom he would bring her back to her.
Veck doesn't think he is good enough for Reilly because he's the bad boy to her good girl. I didn't like the part where we learn he sleeps around but I'm glad he admitted that he didn't want anyone else but Reilly. Glad he didn't bring upstairs to his bedroom where he took one night stands and he didn't want to treat her as one. The attraction between them is scorching hot and every time they are together you can see the sparks flying.
There is also a storyline between Nigel and another Archangel and it was sweet and I really enjoyed the way they ribbed and bantered each other.
4/5
