A story of paranormal passion from the author of the Big Bad Wolf series! From the New York Times bestselling author of the Big Bad Wolf paranormal romances, a brand-new novella in the world of the Lost Angels. For millennia, the archangels have searched for their destined mates on earth. Now they are beginning to unite, but for Angel, it is a time of danger and fear. For with the Culmination these unions will bring about, her true nature will finally be revealed—opening her to an impossible desire, and exposing her to the one man she desperately craves…. Look for Avenger’s Angel, the first full-length book in the new Lost Angels series from Heather Killough-Walden, on sale November 2011.

In Alway's Angel Heather Killough-Walden has created the perfect primer for her riveting new Lost Angel's 

series. Much more than a primer however, Angel's story is riveting, and I absolutely fell in love with her.

There is a palpable sense of mystery and power that emanates from the character of Angel. It is clear that

 she will be playing a central role in the end game and there are elements that would prefer that she did not

 make it there.


 The interesting thing about Heather Killough-Walden's writing style is that she is completely

 unbiased. It is practically impossible to tell which point of view you are reading from. We all assume as

 reader's that the goal of our heroine is goal of good and ensures the correct outcome in the fight against evil.

 It is clear however that when it comes to HKRW there are no gaurantees. HKRW's plot is far thicker than it

seems on the surface and as much as we think we are seeing there is so much more going on in the depths. I

am left deeply intrigued and ravenous in my wish to see the whole picture as it unfolds in the four books to  

 come.

One of the many things I love about HKRWs writing is her ability to create well rounded characters chock

 full of personailty. As it turns out Paranormal creatures are people too! They might not be human but after

centuries of life on Earth they too have learned to enjoy the creature comforts we all do. It just goes to show

that everyone needs a warm bed and a hot chocolate sometimes...Yes even Angels!

Alway's Angel is most definitely worth the read! I am so looking forward to finding out exactly what the roles of The Morning and The Evening Star's are in this tale. I cannot wait to read the rest of the series!



Death is sad, love is agony.

Max was her next job. She got his name just before he died and it was for her to lead his soul to heaven. She was a Bringer.

Then Max started pleading (as they often do), but not for himself, for his son, James.

Would she look after him, would she comfort him as he grieved for the loss of his father? James was a sensitive young man. He would take his father's death very hard.

Well, Bringers don't do that sort of thing; their exclusive role is to usher souls to heaven. They are not allowed to get involved in earthly affairs.

However, when she saw James, she felt something she had never felt before – an emotion, a shock.

She was a Bringer. Bringers do not have emotions.

Yet she couldn't help herself. She found herself being drawn inexorably towards James and his life, against every instinct she had ever had, against every law of the universe.

And she fell in love.

For a Bringer, that is a terrifying fall.



Lucyna is a Bringer! She lives an emotionless existance performing her duties of guiding the newly released souls to The Light. Then she meets Max who's tearful entreaty to watch over his son reaches a place in her heart that she never knew existed. Her journey of self discovery that follows leads her down paths that she never expected to a conclusion that she could never have predicted.

I truly loved this book and give it my highest recommendation. It is poignant, soulful and heart wrenching. There is nothing better than reading a debut novel and being completely blown away by how amazing it is.This story had a wonderfully unique concept that kept me enthralled the entire length of the novel. The characters were soulful and endearing. I hurt when they hurt and I laughed when they laughed. There was a nice twist that actually caught me by surprise which is not easy to do. This book actually kept me guessing much of the way through.

In a genre that is not known for it's realism there is a very realistic element to the story. Every day essentials were not taken for granted and while I do not usually care one way or the other I found this quite refreshing since it improved the story instead of making it clunky. Samantha Towle has a wonderfully easy style to her writing and I am truly looking forward to hearing more from her.
