Blurb
Being the archangel of selflessness got me screwed over and kicked out of my home. I’d spent my entire existence guiding those to give of themselves and help their fellow angels. Even when Lucifer marched on Heaven’s gate, I once more attempted to get those I called family to see a better way. Sadly, Father didn’t see that. He didn’t even give me the chance to explain before I was cast out of Heaven and forever trapped on Earth or worse in Hell.. If Father wanted to cast me out and turn me into this symbol, the Sin of Greed, I would not only accept the challenge as Riker, I’d fucking own it.
And then I met her and the world once more shifted beneath my feet.
Mineta wanted nothing more than to have a normal life and do something that made her feel proud. Working as a 911 operator gave her that feeling, but there was always something missing from her life. Until one day, she unwittingly became the pawn in a chess match she never knew existed.
A deadly war was brewing, one that had been waged for centuries and could mean the end for humanity. Pulled into the middle of this tug-of-war, she met him, Riker. The man was imposing, but the Sin that lived under that sexy exterior was terrifying, and yet her heart still pounded hard when he was near.
Could Mineta have love in her life and save the human race, or would she end up having to choose?
My Thoughts <3
Wowzers, you know that going into a series that is about the Seven Sins it is going to be a dark read, but man was I drawn in like a moth to a flame with Greed! This was a roller coaster ride of emotions from start to finish and I have to admit that I had no freaking clue what was going to happen next, but I LOVED it!
All in all if you are looking for your next read that is on the darker side of paranormal romance, this is right up your alley! I was a little confused about the first person/third person POV switch off, but not enough that it hinders the story. This is an awesome start to the series and really sets things in motion for what is going to happen next while concentrating on Riker and Minetta. It had me feeling all kinds of ways, in the best way possible! I totally give it 4.5 outta 5 stars and cannot wait to read the rest of the series!
PS: Thank you to Brooklyn Cross and Wildfire Marketing Solutions for allowing me an advanced copy of the book to read and review honestly!
