Week 52 Review: Burning Dawn

From Goodreads:
New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter returns with a sizzling Angels of the Dark tale about a winged warrior renowned for his ruthlessness, and the woman who becomes his obsession...

A tormented past has left Thane with an insatiable need for violence, making him the most dangerous assassin in the skies.

He lives by a single code: no mercy. And as he unleashes his fury on his most recent captor, he learns no battle could have prepared him for the slave he rescues from his enemy's clutches—a beauty who stokes the fires of his darkest desires.

Elin Vale has her own deep-rooted scars, and her attraction to the exquisite warrior who freed her challenges her every boundary. 

But Thane's unwavering determination to protect her means she must face her greatest fears—and enter a world in which passion is power, and victory means breathtaking surrender.

My first review of Burning Dawn
My Review:
I just loved reading this book! While there's only officially these 3 books in the Angels of the Dark series, and I'm not sure what went on with the plot with the demons who assassinated the one guy, it was really fantastic to read them again! 

Thane has just spent time in captivity with the phoenix's, because of their biology. So he fairly rightly has a beef with them. Elin helped get him out, but the fact that she's half-phoenix herself, yeah, she's pretty smart to keep that to herself! And I just loved their romance! Because between that, and that she was widowed just before being taken captive, they have a lot to work through! 

Thane is pretty tortured, because he and the rest of the trio went through a horrifying experience together, and it's the main reason why Downfall is slowly descending, because they were giving into the dark instead of the light. So it was really great to watch his journey! 

At this point, I know Bjorn has a book in The Darkest Assassin, leaving Xerxes the only one who hasn't had his own book. And I hope he gets one in the future, because all three of them deserve a story to get all the negative out, and get the positive!

This was another fantastic read and I can't wait to continue my reread!
