The fact that vampire angel Harek Sigurdsson was
a Norseman in his mortal life doesn't make thawing out after exile in Siberia
any easier. But things heat up when his search for evil Lucipires connects him
with Camille Dumaine, a human who thrums with sensual energy that can mean only
one thing: she's the mate Harek's been seeking for centuries . . .
The SEALs call her "Camo" for her ability to blend into a crowd—yet Harek's intense blue gaze singles Camille out like a white-hot spotlight. The security wiz was hired to help bring down a ruthless band of international kidnappers, but Camille senses an unspoken agenda—besides Harek's bold declaration that she's his "destiny." Just Camille's luck that the sexiest man she's ever met may also be . . . a vampire!

Okay,
first of all…Vampires…Angels…Vampires + Angels…Vangels. You with me so far?
Vampire angels. This is a paranormal dream! Oh and on top of that, before they
were vangels, they were Norsemen. Hot, virile, Viking men. A man’s man. Let me
just take a moment to pause and reflect on the beauty of all that…Okay and the
moment is up. So, how did they become vangels? Well, let’s just say the men
focused on in this series were very naughty in their human lives. Like, committing
one of the seven deadly sins kind of naughty. But, thankfully, the Big Man
upstairs gave them one shot to repent and devote their energy to the greater
good–helping to rid the earth of evil Lucipires and preserve humanity.
Enter
Harek Sigurdsson. He had an issue with greed, a hunger for obtaining mass
amounts of wealth. Always needing, wanting more. Even now, living in the modern
world and serving as a vangel, he still struggles with his addiction. Oh, if
Michael, the Archangel and basically his boss, knew what Harek was hiding…or
does he? Michael sends Harek on a mission to help a team of Navy SEALs.
However, unbeknownst to Harek or Michael, that mission puts Harek on the direct
path to meeting his predestined mate.
Camille
Dumaine, known as “Camo” to the SEALS, is devoted to her career in the military
and serves her country as a WEAL, a sister unit to the SEALs. She is able to
slip in undetected, and get the task done. Hence her nickname. Camille is a
fierce warrior. She believes in what she does and works her butt off. She comes
from a well-to-do family of scholars from New Orleans. Her parents are
professors at Tulane and her brother was literally a rocket scientist, now a
professor as well. Camille couldn’t have chosen a more opposite path. But, hey,
it leads her to Harek.
Chocolate
and Roses, that’s the fragrance scented when you put Harek and Camille in a
room together. The scent, which only they can smell at first, is the first clue
Harek gets to Camille being his mate. As much as he rejects the notion and
tries to not give in, he can’t deny the hold Camille has over him. But, there’s
this thing about him being a vangel, her being a human, and Michael really won’t
be happy to know that another one of his warriors has bitten the love dust.
Already this couple has a lot of odds to overcome. Add to it, Camille has been
burned badly by love before, so trust is a major issue with her, Harek’s
inability to follow the rules, thus keeping him from being on Michael’s good
side, AND they need to work together to save a group of girls from terrorists
working with Lucipires. All that there should give you an idea of how awesome
this book is.
Sandra
Hill does a fantastic job blending paranormal romance, suspense, action, and
humor. Harek and Camille are extremely likeable characters. The glimpses we get
of Michael are witty and funny. I get the sense that sometimes he feels like he’s
herding cats, which let’s face it, he’s in charge of a group of vangels, so
yeah it’s like that. But underneath the romance and fun is an underlying seriousness.
The girls they need to rescue and the work the vangels do is no joke. There are
sick minded people in the world and the perfect targets for Lucipires to team
up with.
Even
Vampires Get the Blues is the sixth book in the Deadly Angels series and one to
add to your TBR list.
