Wicked Nights by Gena Showalter


The angel Zacharel finally gets his own novel in the start of Gena’s new series Angels of Dark.
At first I thought this book wouldn’t be as good as Gena’s series Lords of the Underworld, but it was actually a great read! 
Zacharel is an angel who has not felt any emotions ever since his twin brother, who was the complete opposite of him, was attacked and Zacharel was later forced to kill him. He has been constantly punished for harming humans on his quest to avenge his brother, but now he cannot afford to fail. He’s forced to be the leader of angels like him, angels who are on the verge of getting kicked out of heaven and losing their wings. If he gets kicked out, he will become vulnerable to the demons, and that is not what he wants.
Zacharel then meets Annabelle Miller, the woman who will change his life forever. She was marked by a demon and now every demon seems to be after her. The demon that marked her killed her parents, but she was the only one found at the scene of the crime and no one believed her when she told them the real story. She got sent to a mental institution where she was abused by her doctor and other patients. Zacharel did not want to take Annabelle with him, but he later changes his mind. 
Overall, this book was well written and it was also very entertaining. One can relate to the characters and they are very likeable. I’m not surprised at how good this book was because it was written by Gena Showalter.You won’t regret picking up this book off the shelf!
