Review: For a short story of less than 100 pages, this book is action packed. The heartbreaking story of a man just coming into his fame as a controversial artist. At his first big show that is a near sell out a man brutally attacks him blinding him. He loses his eyesight, career, and longtime lover.
In a deep depression, he prays that he would do anything to have his eyesight back. What he thinks is an angel comes to him and he deals to get his sight back, finding himself in a sweet, but scary triangle.
I absolutely loved this story, it was heartbreaking and yet sweet as well. I loved the characters. I couldn’t help but fall for the demon, Tur’el. I would love to read Tur’el and Zethan’s story, hint, hint!
If you like Angels, and Demons, sexy Artist’s, angst, and a beautiful love story then you really must read this!
