About this book
Angels of death do not feel. They do not need. They do not lust. They do not love. They carry out their jobs. They take souls.
Or at least…that is what they are supposed to do, until Keenan, a powerful angel of death, refuses to take his latest charge on a blood-soaked New Orleans night. He should have touched Nicole St. James, a sweet schoolteacher slated to die, but instead…he took the vampire attacking her. With one touch, Keenan changed fate, and he fell from heaven.
When an angel falls, all hell breaks loose.
Keenan’s wings burned away in the fall. Without his wings, he’s hit with every single human emotion—and need. And his entire focus is on the woman who cost him everything. He hunts Nicole, tracks her, but is stunned to see that the human he knew before is long gone. Nicole changed on that dark night, too. She’s got some new and dangerous accessories—fangs and claws and definite bite because she’s a vampire.
Heaven and hell are after them.
Nicole and Keenan are being hunted. Demons and angels are both closing in. If Nicole and Keenan are to survive, they’ll have to trust each other completely. A vampire and a Fallen aren’t supposed to bond, and they sure aren’t supposed to become mates, but some desires just can’t be contained. Keenan has been tied to Nicole from the moment he first saw her. Human, vampire—doesn’t matter to him. Nicole is his, and he will wreck the world to keep her safe.
He fell for her. She will belong only to him.
ANGEL OF DARKNESS was originally released by Kensington Publishing in December of 2011. The hero knows nothing of human needs, but he’s about to experience a whole new world after falling for his vampire. How far will an angel go in order to protect the woman he wants above all others? Get ready to find out. Hope you enjoy the fall…

Wow! The pace of this book was relentless in the best way! I really enjoyed Keenan and Nicole's story. Watching Keenan experience emotions and touch for the first time with her was so awesome. I appreciated that Nicole was a badass in her own right and not a snarky damsel. I wasn't sure what to make of Sam at first, but I really liked him by the end. I am absolutely looking forward to the next book! ) One person found this helpful

It was my first time reading something by Cynthia, I wasn’t disappointed but I also wasn’t wowed. I’d suggest to friends but I don’t think I’d read it again out of boredom. The spicy moments are a nice touch.. there are a few action scenes but I wish there were more conversations between the characters. )

As posted on The Smutty Kitty 5 out of 5 Licks I bought this book because I received the third in the series (Angel in Chains) to review. I have a very strict read books in series order rule so I couldn't read my ARC until I read the first two and I thought I should review them too. This was such an awesome start to a series! The book grabbed me from the first sentence and I couldn't put it down. There was so much action around every corner and of course the sex was hot. Seriously a vamp and a...

I only gave this book 3 stars because it is not what I expected; for anyone familiar with this author I have no doubt it would be worth 4 to 5 stars. This is my reason: I love stories about fallen angels, nephilim, mythgology, vampires, etc. I love the mystery, intrigue and uniqueness of the stories. I was really looking forward to reading Angel of Darkness and his experience as a fallen angel; what I didn't expect was the story basically turning into a risque romance novel about his...

Excellent read. Cynthia has created another wonderful fast paced action filled paranormal read. I love how her angels are not such goodie goodies as we normally see them. There is struggle going on within all three angels we meet. Each seems to have his own \"demon\" to overcome. We meet Nicole as she is leaving the cathedral that was locked so she couldn't enter. As she is walking down the alley a vampire attacks her and Keenan (a death angel) watches the attack unfold. Nicole fights hard for...
