The Broken Angel by Monica La Porta
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I received a free ecopy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This was my favorite of the Immortals series so far. Samuel is a fallen angel that gave up his place in heaven for a love that betrayed him. A heartbreak that he never got over. Martina is human and has been in an abusive relationship that she is trying hard to end. She is a strong character that fights hard to save herself.
There's more to this storyline than meets the eye. There's plenty of mystery and action to go along with the hot scenes. Vampires and werecreatures along with characters from the previous books all come into play and the story is woven together nicely. However, I saw the ending coming. There's no surprise ending or sudden twist in the plot however it all works out as it should be.
Love this series as well as everything that I have read by this author. Its always a joy to read her work. Can't wait til the next one.

Beyond the Gloaming
It is Easter, 1973 and twelve year old Sebastian Duffy has some serious self-esteem issues. He is beaten by his parents, bullied at school, steals from his friends and still mourning the death of his brother. To cap it all, strange things have begun happening around him and he is finding it hard to distinguish dreams from reality. After a nightmarish assault, he wakes in the Gloaming, a shadow world inhabited by ghosts. There to greet him is Porrig, a creature from Hibercadia, a magical realm crafted from Celtic dreams. Inhabited by Fir Bolg, Tuath and Milesians, it has been overthrown by brother gods from another dreamworld. One brother, Phobitor, is a tyrant and even the Tuath, who took to their underground sidhe millennia ago, are concerned. Sebastian discovers that he alone can save Hibercadia by finding an enchanted spear. Teaming up with the Hibernauts—a mercurial sorceress, an orphaned druidess, a taciturn warrior, a snuff-sniffing leprechaun and a lovelorn poet—he embarks on a fantastical quest, but can he succeed when he is yet to find his magical potential or even his courage, and half the realm is bent on his destruction?
