Customer Review

This first volume of a new series written by a French author is breathtaking originality and written in a fluid style with a mastery of the incredible story is by reading the first chapter available on camaleo I discovered this book and I do not regret it. This is the style of Bettina Nordet and humor that made me cracked, it's fresh, entertaining, innovative and twists in want you in here. Not a moment of respite for the reader and especially heroin Jana, a young cop who finds himself suddenly to dive into an adventure where anyone would have lost it a long time.

It would be pure sadism give you too many details about the story because it is making it its charm, from the first to the last page, he a lot going on with a multitude of characters as fascinating and all mysterious as each other. The created world is rich and in this first volume it is above the angels and their world is explored, we meet other paranormal which I hope will be more developed in the future. The heroine Jana's the kind of character which one attaches easily, a good normal young woman with a little weird that we discover the reason in the end, but mostly it is not superwoman.

She reactions consistent with his human condition (well not quite) embedded or rather kidnapped by a horrifying man who can not say anything, seems to hate and yet protects. It is powered in the middle of a power struggle that will make him understand who she really is, have to make decisions that challenge his whole future. Manipulated, betrayed, abused, she still keeps a formidable force and confidence to any test which will allow it to maneuver in trouble or she finds.

The strength of Bettina Nordet is the tone of the story, the dialogues with the devastating humor she puts into the mouth of his heroine, even at the most difficult time, she managed to put the sentence that kills. The other highlight are the male characters that revolve around Jana, whether Kell, Maryon or Phen, they are intriguing, mysterious and fascinating in their own way, even if certain things are revealed, we doubt that 'there is still much more to learn about them.

Decidedly French authors have nothing to envy their American counterparts, for their imagination and talent, they manage to introduce novelty into a genre that I thought saturated. I look forward to the rest I hope that will not happen attentre too long.
