Book Description
Redemption isn’t a word Jim Heron knows much about—his specialty is revenge, and to him, sin is all relative. But everything changes when he becomes a fallen angel and is charge with saving the souls of seven people from the seven deadly sins. And failure is not an option. Vin DiPietro long ago sold his soul to his business, and he’s good with that — until fate intervenes in the form of a tough- talking, Harley-riding, self-professed savior. But then he meets a woman who will make him question his destiny, his sanity, and his heart—and he has to work with a fallen angel to win her over and redeem his own soul.

This review is from: Covet: A Novel of the Fallen Angels (Mass Market Paperback)
Review:Covet has been sitting on my tbr pile for years, I honestly didn't want to read it. Sounds stupid you say well you'd be right...but, and here is my reason, I didn't want to be disappointed. I looooooove the BDB series, I really do and I count down the days till the next one comes out and usually devour them in a single sitting and if I am honest I have never been disappointed. Soooooo one day on Goodreads I decided to participate in a buddy read program, you know where a stranger looks through your tbr pile and recommends a book for you and they picked Covet for me so it was time to bite the bullet and actually read the damn book. Did I like it you ask...well sorta. The story is about Jim Heron an ex military special ops whatever who dies when he is electrocuted, he is sent back to help Vin make the right decision and redeem his own soul. While reading this I couldn't help but make comparisons to BDB as some of the characters and places cross over into this series and I loved Lassiter from BDB, who incidentally isn't in this book. While I know the comparison is probably unfair I can't help it, it's the same author and setting dammit! Sadly Covet wasn't anywhere near as good. The characters weren't as rich or interesting, Jim or Vin certainly weren't Brotherhood material, hell they weren't even as interesting as minor characters in BDB. The dialogue wasn't as good either, yes yes I know BDB is a cheesy mess but it's a really good cheesy mess. The plots in Ms Ward's book are far from complicated and this is no exception but they do move along at a good pace and keep me interested in seeing what happens next and much to her credit she can write a really good sex scene and you get that here too. If this was written by anybody else I probably would have liked it better. Unfair...you betcha! But she has written soooooo much better stuff that I can't help it. Will I read another in this series, probably but not today. Cuz there's a new BDB installment coming out tomorrow and I need that fix first :). 3/5 Sorry I liked BDB better

This review is from: Covet: A Novel of the Fallen Angels (Mass Market Paperback)
Heaven and Hell have been battling in the shadows for control over humanity for centuries now, and God would like to get it over with. To accelerate this never-ending process, one soul was chosen to face seven souls standing at the crossroads. Should the Chosen influence the majority of souls he faces to take the right path, Heaven will win, if not' we will all be damned.Let me start by saying the prologue of this book is hands down freaking amazing. The book is great of course, but it would be worth buying even if it were only for the epilogue. Really, it was that good! Now about the book itself, The Fallen Angels series is set in the same world as the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, also in Caldwell, but the focus is completely different. There are no vampires nor lessers involved as far as we know from Covet, but there are small references. ZeroSum and Revhenge are mentioned, Phury is also seen at some point even though he doesn't have any active role and the Iron Mask, Revh's goth club, managed by Trez, his best friend, is in the middle of the action. The focus though, is about a battle between Heaven and Hell, Fallen Angels and Demons, with a human smack in the middle. JR Ward is an amazing writer and Covet was true to her writing style, which means I was in Heaven. I really like her blunt and raw story telling habits and if you've read the BDB series, you'll definitely feel right at home. The plot also unfolded in a very interesting manner. We are introduced to a bunch of characters and are left to guess which of them is the Chosen, who are the bad guys and the good guys, and in this world of shades of gray, it's not easy to effectively identify who's playing for which team. As the story progresses your opinion of certain characters will change and I really liked that it forced the reader to adapt, committing to the story on a higher level. The characters themselves were great. Jim, Vin & Marie-Therese, the three main characters, turned out to be very interesting. Each of them has their own shady past, unresolved issues and messed-up present. They fight hard to stay afloat in a world determined the drown them and witnessing their struggles, failures and small victories was great. Ward really made sure she created multilayered characters that would capture our attention, and she succeeded. I also have to mention Dog (yes that's his name), Jim's dog. I just don't know what's up with the pet, but I'm sure he'll be important at some point. The end was an explosion of fireworks to close a crescendo of violence. Not all issues were resolved and the Chosen only took the first step in the ultimate war, but we still got a very satisfying conclusion to this first installment. I truly enjoyed this first book in Ward's newest series and I can't wait to start reading the second book! Good thing it's already released =)
