Mentre la storia d’amore al centro di Arde la notte mi aveva lasciato freddina, quella di Envy era pressoché non necessaria, se non per il fatto che siamo in un paranormal romance e quindi Veck DelVecchio e Sophia Reilly devono darci dentro. Però la storia non ne avrebbe risentito affatto se i due fossero stati semplicemente colleghi e buoni amici: e infatti è così che me li sono immaginati tutto il tempo, in barba a Zia Ward che me li descriveva in preda agli ormoni (un po’ come continuo a immaginarmi Jim Heron moro, quando invece è biondo… è sempre un piccolo shock quando mi viene ricordato…).

Comunque, sono contenta che Envy sia tornato a destare il mio interesse per la serie: Veck e Reilly mi sono piaciuti più di Isaac e Grier, anche se la storia d’amore continua a essere troppo veloce per in miei gusti in questa serie (l’atto finale poi per me è completamente incomprensibile) ed è un vero peccato perché so che Ward è un’autrice capace di gestire meglio il tempo e lo sviluppo di un rapporto.

Continuo a pensare che sia un difetto dovuto all’incapacità di mantenere il giusto equilibrio tra la cornice narrativa e la storia affrontata in ogni singolo volume. Anche qui la cornice prende il sopravvento perché accade un evento così enorme che ciò che ti fa andare voltare una pagine dietro l’altra è lo scoprire cosa accadrà adesso ai nostri angeli piuttosto che scoprire se l’anima di DelVecchio verrà salvata.

Infine, scopro con piacere che il mio LGBTQIA+ radar si era acceso con cognizione di causa… questi angeli si fanno sempre più interessanti… ( )

As my husband pointed out, Jr Ward did an amazing job with this book. She made me hate one of the characters. Trust is a major thing for me. Once it's broken, or betrayed, I lose faith in the person. And there is a character in this book that broke the trust of the main character and ripped my heart out. I was extremely emotional the entire time that I was reading from the part where the betrayal happened all the way to the end of the book. And my husband says that the author did amazing job if they were able to elicit, is that the right word?, This particular emotion from me. If you're looking for a book that has emotional turmoil this is the perfect book. ( )

Once you start, you will not be able to stop!
This is the 3rd book in the series and the best yet! I can't wait to read #4.
J. R. Ward is an awesome writer.

Her story flows, her characters are 3 dimensional. You get so caught up in the story you feel like you are IN the story. You are a part of it. You cannot put it down. I've read a lot of J. R. Ward's books and I have never been disappointed. Somehow each book reaches out, grabs you and just will not let go!

If you haven't read this series yet, DO NOT HESITATE! You don't want to miss this series. It is an emotional roller coaster that keeps you on the edge NOT knowing what will happen next!!

Can I give this 6 stars!

The souls in this one belong to Thomas "Veck" DelVecchio, Jr. & Sophia Reilly. My favorite couple so far. And wow! The steam they brought to the pages.

Devina......I hate to say a demon can make you laugh, but... But! She makes you laugh & hate her at the same time. Then she makes you.... Oh just read it. I am not going to write the book and tell you too much. I will say Devina & Jim make great adversaries and they both have me hooked on this series.

As weird as this sounds, I would like some kind of HEA or HNA for both of them.
IKR! How could you want a Happy for a demon! But there are times that I feel for Devina. ( )

I am really enjoying this series! ( )

While I think that Ms. Ward is losing her flare in her Black Dagger Brotherhood series, I feel that she's just getting warmed up on the Fallen angels series. Covet I felt was a really good book as well as Crave. Envy I think that not that the series has its feet wet, it's going in a good direction. I also like how coming from Crave where the good guys had lost I think that sets the series on a whole different level. Where it has a story within the story, and though the angels lost a soul, another had gotten their HEA.

In envy Veck, is the son of a mass serial killer, He constantly lives in the shadow of his father, always haunted by the potential of becoming just like him. He knows there is an evil residing within him, but he doesn't realize that it is an actual demon inside him. Heron and his buddies have to try to sway him from going to the side of evil, thus giving Devina another win, and basically closer to hell on earth. Veck at the beginning of the book believes he harmed another serial killer, but he didn't he is then partnered to the IA's office Sophie Reilly, during the book Weck falls for Reilly and her him, but things get shaky when someone betrays him, costing him almost his lover and his sanity.

End results- the good guys won though one of them is lost and another takes more action in the game, an another can't fully pull his head out of his ass to figure out that more is needed to win this war instead of sitting on their tufts sipping tea and playing crochet.

What I love about Wards books, is that she isn't afraid to tip the bar. Using her graphiic wording to make the sexual scene more drool worthy, whether it be a man/woman couple, same sex couple, or a multiple partner in one time scene. She doesn't discriminate on her characters, and her characters aren't discriminative unless they are meant to be that way.

The action in this one was a sub-par compared to other books, I like her books not only because of the uber super hot guys, and that omg that got my panties wet sex scenes. But I enjoy the action as well. But all in all Ward had succeeded in making me hot and bothered and made me crave for more also making me root for the good guys even more.

Sorry this review is so long. ( )
