Book Review: Breath of an Angel by Karyn Henley

Melaia was just an innocent bystander. A priestess. She didn’t purposely become the witness to a murder. Even though blameless, Melaia still has watched a supernatural death occur. The stranger who was murdered, unbelievably has wings. Not to mention the murderer has  the shape of both a hawk and a man. She never believed the myths about “angels” and “shapeshifters.” But that has all changed. Caught unexpectedly in a war of paranormal proportions, Melaia has to go under the protection of a small band of angels. The few angels that are trying to repair the broken stairway to heaven.  They cannot complete it, however, without changing Melaia’s destiny.

Overall, I thought this book was OK, not really the greatest, but not really the worst either.  I found the beginning to be really slow, as well as extremely confusing.  I had to really focus, and also I had to re-read a few sections of the literature. It was hard to make sense of the names and places. That said, after I finished it, I was fairly interested in the next book. My curiosity was most definitely piqued. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who is OK if the beginning of a book is slow. I would give this book 3 out of 5 stars

Heart of Ice by Lis Wiel

Elizabeth Avery has it all; she is a drop dead gorgeous woman, and she can manipulate people with ease that only comes from practice. No one would guess that her heart was icy enough to kill.
Federal prosecutor Allison Pierce and FBI agent Nicole Hedges are forced to work on crimes that seem to be completely unconnected, but they have a feeling there is more than what meets the eye.

Through this intense, suspenseful, thriller of a novel, Nicole and Allison must race the clock before the killer ends this cruel game. It will be an end unthinkable.

Overall, I liked this book very much. It had a very captivating, suspenseful, and wonderful plot. Lis Wiel certainly does not disappoint. She uses wonderful descriptions, as well as fantastic plot twists. She never dissatisfies with her unbelievably realistic characters. She develops them so nicely! In addition, I was kept on the edge of my seat the throughout the entire book. The only thing I partially disliked was the fact that Christianity, or faith in general, was scarcely mentioned throughout the book. Taken as a whole, this book is a fantastic read, and it is most definitely worth your time and money.
