Publisher Description
“An awesome paranormal romance that fans of Sherrilyn Kenyon and J. R. Ward will really enjoy . . . No simple angels here.”—Danielle DeVor, author of the Marker Chronicles
Jaime Connor was once one of the mightiest archangels in heaven. Sent to earth to stop demons from claiming another victim in their sleep, she has battled far too long. Tired of all the killing, she awaits the demon who will overpower her and send her back to heaven. Yet her life lingers on and a dream she can’t remember plagues her thoughts.
Only remnants of her memory remain in the image of a gorgeous demon who circled her before the kill—the scent of Ireland on his breathe, a brogue on his tongue, and the sea in his penetrating eyes. The demon must have died. She never would have woken if he hadn’t. That’s how it works. How it’s always worked. So why did he appear in her world the next day? And why is he trying to seduce her? Will he be the fated one to finally steal the life of the strongest dark angel the world has ever known?
If she’s lucky, that will be all he steals.
“With compelling characters, interesting subplots and plenty of paranormal action Purgatory’s Angel is the kind of book that keeps one up at night! Kudos to Ms. Hughes-Millman for some of the most well-written action scenes this reviewer has ever had the pleasure of reading!”—InD’tale (5 stars)
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Jaime Connor is a bank manager by day and a dark angel a former archangel who hunts demons through dreams by night. Since those who die in dreams also die in reality, she usually doesn't encounter people in both worlds, but Collin Leary, a gorgeous gallery owner, is the exception. In a recent dream, he was either a demon or an ally, and he may be the shadowy figure who has haunted her hunts since she was 15. The uncomfortable and awkward gender politics of the relationship triangle among Collin, Jaime, and Jaime's doctor Rick, particularly the revelation of the roles that Collin and Rick each played in Jaime's human and angel periods, derail what started as an intriguing premise about religion, perception and reality, and questioning one's purpose in life. Jaime's shift from complicated and individual to manipulated, damaged, and thinly characterized is disappointing to those used to more consistent portrayals.
