Burning Dawn (Angels of the Dark, #3)

by Gena Showalter

"Showalter's signature blend of sizzling attraction, breathtaking worlds, and lethal stakes rocks me every time!" – Sylvia Day

An Angel Renowed For Ruthlessness and the Woman Who Became His Obsession

A tormented past has left Thane with an insatiable need for violence, making him the most dangerous assassin in the skies. He lives by a single code: no mercy. And as he unleashes his fury on his most recent captor, he learns no battle could have prepared him for the slave he rescues from his enemy’s clutches—a beauty who stokes the fires of his darkest desires.

Elin Vale has her own deep-rooted scars, and her attraction to the exquisite warrior who freed her challenges her every boundary. But Thane’s unwavering determination to protect her means she must face her greatest fears—and enter a world in which passion is power, and victory means breathtaking surrender.

I really liked this novel, and I loved Thane and Eiln together (and his two besties!!).
The bromance is strong in this one.
As much as I liked the plot and everything, there is just something that bothers me about the idea love can heal someone completely. Hundreds of years Thane is dealing with his issues in a certain way, and then he meets one waif of a human and it almost instantly disappears completely, to the point he doesn't need pain anymore to find satisfaction. And he barely knows her at this point! People who are broken can heal, no doubt about it, but part of that darkness is always going to remain in them. Having such a clean cut recovery is somewhat of a pet peeve of mine :/
