Synopsis:
Saved by the angel sent to kill them, four half-angel boys are trained and employed as Heaven’s assassins. Jarrid and his nephilim brothers are raised as members of The Eternal Order, and must enforce Heaven’s laws by hunting down those who defy the Directorate.
His only shot at freedom is Ascension, but his employers won’t permit the ancient ritual. Then Jarrid learns a Renegade angel is in Detroit. Such a high-level takedown is the answer to his prayers—all the leverage he needs to Ascend.
For freedom, Jarrid is willing to do anything to lure his elusive enemy out of hiding.
Even use an innocent woman as bait.
News reporter Ionie Gifford has no clue an angel outlaw wants her dead. She agrees to help Jarrid, the enigmatic nephilim with penetrating silver eyes and a worship-worthy body, but only because he accepts her terms. He’s her all-access pass into the city’s supernatural underworld where she hopes to locate her mother’s killer.
Blindsided by Ionie’s beauty and tenacity, Jarrid soon finds the eternity-old glacier around his heart thawing. With duty and desire at war within him, he’s forced to make a choice—either save Ionie from the trap he snared and stay chained to Heaven, or allow her to become collateral damage.

MY THOUGHTS:
I was really excited to start reading this book after hearing Tricia Skinner’s interview with Cabin Goddess for Bewitching Radio (link below)! It did not disappoint!! It is rather surprising that this is Tricia Skinner’s first novel!! Skinner is such a GREAT writer!! As a reader you are thrust into this supernatural real world where Supes are allowed out and about. You feel as if you are right there every step, every scene! The characters are very relate-able, and you quickly fall for Jerrid and Ionie!! I am looking forward to the next bok in the Angel Assassins series and other books by Tricia Skinner!!
MY RATING:
Disclosure: I received a copy of the book for review purposes only and also PURCHASED a copy for myself!! I was not compensated to write a positive or favorable review. This is Keeping Up With The Rheinlander’s personal opinion.
