Author JR Ward has done it again--convinced this hard core romantic-suspense and political thriller reader, and sometimes writer, to pick up a fantasy in "Covet".
I actually set out to read "Crave", the latest release in Ward's Fallen Angel series, but realized to really appreciate the continuing hero, Jim Heron, I probably should read "Covet" first. Duh.
After about 10 pages, I'm thinking . . . maybe this series isn't totally fantasy. It is about angels, though these guys are not the guys with wings and built like Charles Atlas from my Baltimore Catechism days. These birds come with tattoos, multiple body piercings, drive Harleys, and drink beer like Prohibition is about to be reinstated. And a few of them, and the lost souls they are charged with saving from one of the seven deadly sins, have extrasensory powers.
Totally cool.
Filled with Ward's usual unremitting sarcastic humor, 'Covet' is real tough to put down.
I give it a hands up.
