The tale begins with a horrific on air attempted murder and successful suicide. Kendall Glynn was on cloud nine as her friend and colleague began reading her report about a rash of murder-suicides live on air; that is until he begins to try to kill his anchor partner all while screaming, “Somebody stop me!” Kendall is able to thwart the murder attempt but isn’t fast enough to stop her friend from killing himself with a pen to the jugular. As Kendall goes into shock in the aftermath, she tries to work out what she saw. Just before he snapped a white veil covered his eyes that no one else seems to have seen. If she did not know better she would say he was possessed. Zeke Reece is the paramedic on duty and he checks out Kendall all the while asking her questions about her friend’s eyes. He knows something and Kendall needs answers. Zeke knows a lot more than Kendall thinks but he’s determined to keep her safe and the ooh-la-la tale that unfolds was so much fun.
First I have to tell you that I loved Kendall and Zeke. Kendall is a rocking investigative reporter who is really good at connecting the pieces even if it ends up putting her in the middle of things. Zeke is smexy walking and a Nephilim to boot. He spends his time protecting the city of San Francisco from malevolent forces. By day he is a paramedic and your average drop dead, abs of steel guy. By night he is the masked hero known as the Guardian Angel. He has this whole Batman-Superman vibe right down to his crib and while these are all elements that felt familiar Gail's made it her own. The characters were lovable and had depth. Zeke is not perfect and he has some emotional baggage which just made him all the more desirable The banter, sexual chemistry and escapades of these two really worked and I was quickly caught up in their story.
Nobody’s Angel was a delightful, fun escape. While a lot of the elements were not new, Gail added her own special ingredients to the mix and gave me characters and a storyline that held me captive and made me smile. Kendall’s view on coffee and her witty one-liners made me laugh aloud. Zeke was the perfect superhero. I mean who doesn’t like a smexy dark-haired man who saves the day and makes your toes curl? The tale behind the murder-suicides was fascinating and I loved the supernatural elements. I liked Gail’s approach to Angel mythology and look forward to seeing where she takes this series.
I want to thank the author for sending this ARC in exchange for my unbiased review.
