I really tried, but…
My pick today was:
Start a new series
Although this title could have fit more than a few of the challenges!
For two thousand years, Lilith wrought vengeance upon the evil and the damned, gathering souls for her father’s armies Below and proving her fealty to her Underworld liege. Bound by a bargain with the devil and forbidden to feel pleasure, she draws upon her dark powers and serpentine grace to lead men into temptation. That is, until she faces her greatest temptation—Heaven’s own Sir Hugh Castleford…
Once a knight and now a Guardian, Hugh spent centuries battling demons—and the cursed, blood-drinking nosferatu. His purpose has always been to thwart the demon Lilith, even as he battles his treacherous hunger for her. But when a deadly alliance unleashes a threat to both humans and Guardians in modern-day San Francisco, angel and demon must fight together against unholy evil—and against a desire that has been too long denied…
Who will be the first to succumb?
OK...so there is a short novella that goes before this that you really should read before you start the series as it introduces the main characters here and gives so much insight into who they truly are...
Although I really liked this book, I felt it was too long! Seriously - it clocks in just over 400 pages and could have done with about 100 less.
That said, I liked the fresh paranormal ideas here (book was published circa 2007). The first hundred pages start with the year 1217 til about 1991 before landing in the year 2007.
Lilith (a demon ) and Hugh (a Guardian) have a long complicated and unusual relationship.
Demon Angel makes for interesting reading. It's brutal and passionate and I'm glad that I do have almost all of the other books in the series.
It's hinted from the set up with the secondary characters at future storylines.
