Envy by J R Ward

Envy (Fallen Angels, #3)

by J. R. Ward

Seven deadly sins. Seven souls to save. And a man and a woman treading the lines of danger, desire and deliverance . . .

As the son of a serial killer, homicide detective Thomas 'Veck' DelVecchio, Jr, grew up in the shadow of evil. Now, on the knife-edge between civic duty and blind retribution, he atones for the sins of his father - while fighting his inner demons.

Assigned to monitor Veck is Internal Affairs officer Sophia Reilly, whose interest in him is both professional and arousingly personal. And Veck and Sophia have another link: Jim Heron, a mysterious stranger with too many answers . . . to questions that are deadly. When Veck and Sophia are drawn into the ultimate battle between good and evil, their fallen angel saviour is the only thing that stands between them and eternal damnation.

I'll be honest, I read the first book and quit. After reading some of the reviews, I decided to go back and try the series again as audiobooks. I think each. Pom has been a little bit better than the last. I'm not sure what I think about how much the BDB world overlaps with this one. It makes me feel like I have to continue with this series so as to be sure not miss anything in BDB.

I will say that I like seeing more of the angels lives. I hope we get to continue to learn more about them.

Lastly, in this book, it seems the Ward is working her way closer to m/m for Blay and Qhuinn in BDB. There is a ménage scene and you learn more of another m/m couple.
