A Heavenly Delight, May 31 2010
This review is from: Angelic (Hardcover)
I love Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld novels, but I'm not a huge fan of special limited edition novels or books. They are usually books that you pay a good deal of money for and can't really carry around with you for fear of damaging the book.
Thankfully, I didn't have that problem with Angelic by Kelley Armstrong. It's short, just under one hundred pages, so it was an hours worth of glorious reading. I enjoyed it so much that I read it two times in a row.
In Angelic, Armstrong returns to having Eve Levine narrate her story. Tired of letting the Fates push her around, she sets about trying to get herself fired from her otherworldly job but in the end gets herself in a heap of trouble. Though she has good intentions, she proves that, if anything, she is far from angelic...
What I love about Armstrong's writing is its strength of voice. Each of her narrators sound different and no character is the same. Even better, the stories are engaging and speed by at a fast pace.
Angelic is no different. Though it's a short read, it feels like a whole novel. You've got all the emotional highs and lows of a full length read packed into a handful of pages. Angelic is a wonderful read from start to finish and it left me wanting more of Eve.
I've missed her as a narrator of the series and it was like I was visiting with an old friend. While I wish there had been more to the story, I will take what I can get.
And read it as many times as possible.

I didn't expect 2 CDs!!, Feb 9 2011
When I ordered this item, being a long time fan of Kelley Armstrong, I was excited that the pricepoint was so low for an audiobook--if you do a little more research (which I did NOT before ordering), you will find that "Angelic" is a novella, and the audiobook is only 2 CDs long.
It's an interesting story about Eve, and it's cool to learn some more about her character after death... but I was expecting something longer, like a full novel.

great, Jan 12 2011
I have never ordered an audio book before but it worked out great for me. I didn't want to pay for the book because it was so expensive so it was nice to have this option available. If you already are a fan of Kelley Armstrong you will like this book. If you haven't read any of her stuff before I would start with one of her full novels.
