MY REVIEW:
Courtney Renee
For Rogue Phoenix Press

I gave this book 5 Full Angel Eyes!

First I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  It’s high fantasy and romance all wrapped up together in a wild ride of a story.  Your first interaction with the main character, Addaline Walker, greets you with a life or death situation.  No build up, just right into the drama.  The story takes off from there and never lets you out of its grasp from that first word on.  From torture to escape, to bombs and potential kidnapping, this has it all.  You get to go on this life journey with Addaline and her partner in escape, Xander as they fight their way to a new life.  You fear for them at times.  You distrust them at others.  Such a fun read.  The dialogue was true.  The characters were full.  I can’t say enough about this book.  Fantastic job, Mariah.  When can we expect a sequel? 

If I have to say something in the negative, I would admit that one of the secondary characters, Addaline’s sister, could have used a bit more fullness.  She was the only one that I felt this way about.  She simply came across as a bit empty.  Maybe it’s only me though.  All the other characters came across as so full of life.  It could also be that I didn’t really like the sister all that much.  All in all that’s the only thing I can poke at.  The read was just that good.  I highly recommend it to teens and adults alike.
