Review:

I enjoyed this conclusion to the Angel Sight series.

From beginning to end there is a whole lot going on in this book. It starts with Rayna and Kade stuck in Hell an undisclosed time since they first went in but what feels like years to the two as they are continuously tortured and tormented. Perhaps because there is so much happening and to get through, I found I read this very quickly, the second half more so than the first.

The pace moves along quite well and then picks up at the end as the conclusion builds and I found a satisfying tensions and anticipation in the build up.

As per the last two books, I loved the chemistry between Kade and Rayna and the bond between the two and it was nice to revisit characters from previous books as well as the consistency of the characters from one book to the next e.g. Layla. I love Rayna's strength even after everything she has experienced.

I like the way Ms Basso has structured this novel and mentioned before, there is a lot to get through and I think she does this well. I found myself propelled through the novel and the the conclusion before I knew it.

Over all I am glad I was able to read this conclusion and while it leaves itself open for perhaps more stories in this world, I found it a satisfying conclusion.


I give this novel 3 1/2 stars

Rayna entered Hell to save Kade. Kade entered to protect Rayna. Both have failed.

Blog Tour Stop & Giveaway : Review of A Slither of Hope by Lisa M Basso

Welcome to day's stop on the A Slither of Hope (Angel Sight #2)by Lisa M Basso Blog Tour presented by Month9Books and hosted by Chapter by Chapter.  Today's stop is a review as well as a chance to enter the great giveaway that is being run throughout this tour.

Wow! I have just finished turning the last page and what a place to finish. I think I had to check a couple of times that there wasn't more pages.

Like book 1, in the series, A Shimmer of Angels, this did not really go where I expected it to. This is a good thing as having read a number of stories about angels, it is nice to read a story where things don't necessarily go where you expect.

I liked that this instalment showed us Kade's point of view in parts as well as Rayna's as it gave us a better picture of the story as it unfolded.

When we catch up with Rayna and Kade at the beginning of this book, a few weeks have passed since the events at the end of book 1 and we find that while the world has continued to turn for the rest of the world, Rayna is in something of a holding pattern, granted one holding a new identity but she is still no closer than to anything that can help with the situation that brought her to the attention of the angels and fallen, her family, SS Crazy and the police.

While, Rayna's life may be in a holding pattern, this story certainly wasn't. Right away we are hit surprise after surprise as Rayna's attempts to try and get her life back and protect those that she loves. The more I read of this story, the more I got into it and it felt like i read the back half of the story in the blink of an eye, and as mentioned above, shocked when I got to the end and had no more to read. I will be in on tenterhooks until book 3 comes out.

I also love Rayna and Kade's chemistry together. I have also felt it much more than the chemistry between Rayna and Cam and in this story we get to see more of the chemistry between all three and it is fun to watch!

One of the best parts of this story is that we get more information. We learn more about the angels, more about the fallen, more about Ray's family. This all fits together nicely in the story and is nicely paced so that it adds to the enjoyment and construction of the over all story. This, along the with the combination of both expected and unexpected developments lends itself to more enjoyable than expected story.

I give this story 3 1/2 stars!

Publication date: July 5th, 2014

Publisher: Month9Books, LLC.

Rayna struggles to piece her life back together, but hiding in plain sight from the police, the SS Crazy, and the Fallen isn’t a foolproof plan—something Kade, the World’s Worst Roommate, reminds her of everyday. The late nights of failing to teach Ray how to protect herself against the Fallen are getting to Kade, changing him in ways he doesn’t like, and after a family emergency sends Ray back into Cam’s arms, Kade decides he’s had enough. News of Rayna’s resurfacing brings both angels and the Fallen to San Francisco by the dozens, all eyes scouring the city for the girl with the gray wings. Rayna will need both Kade and Cam’s help to ensure her family’s safety, navigate the new dangers and enemies springing up all over the city, and manage the surprises that arise with her new set of wings.

My current read is A Shimmer of Angels (Angel Sight #1) by Lisa M Basso and my two lines are from location 358 of 3407:

I kicked my stupid chair.  Three years of intensive treatment and I was still stark-raving mad.

Sixteen-year-old Rayna sees angels, and has the medication and weekly therapy sessions to prove it. Now, in remission, Rayna starts fresh at a new school, lands a new job, and desperately tries for normalcy. She ignores signs that she may be slipping into the world she has tried so hard to climb out of. But these days, it’s more than just hallucinations that keep Rayna up at night. Students are dying, and she may be the only one who can stop it. Can she keep her job, her sanity, and her friends from dying at the hands of angels she can't admit to seeing?
