Review...

I only listened to the first book in this anthology, The Darkest Angel by Gena Showalter.  

I've enjoyed this series so far, but this one may have killed the obsession threat.  I just wasn't a fan of Bianka so it took a really long time to even enjoy the book. 

Bianka is part of the last story as she is Gwen's sister.  The problem is that I didn't like her there.  The way they treated Gwen had my claws out wanting to throw her across the room.  I just don't like Bianka.  Not a good time for me to read her story.

I did like Lysander, though I didn't always understand his choices.

But the biggest problem I had with the story was the strong need to change the other person.  Lysander is an angel.  He's strong, righteous and good.  A warrior that fights the evil in the world.  What could he possibly have in common with a harpy?  Yeah, I'm thinking that's the point of the story.  But it felt like too far of a stretch for me to accept.

About half way through, I became more interested.  I think it may be because Bianka toned it down a bit.  Her hurt feeling had her re-thinking things.  As she mellowed and Lysander came to accept her for who she was, I was more content with their story.

It was fine.  Just not a favorite.  The biggest problem is that I didn't pick up the next book when I was done with this one.  Need a break.  That's a clear sign that it's not an obsession.  Hopefully, I will come back to this series because I own several more in the series.
