Bad Angels (Book 2)
by Nicole A. Amakan
5.0 out of 5 stars on Amazon
Urban Fantasy


Book 2 in the Diabolical series.

My name is Devon Falls, and I used to be a nurse. Now I'm Wrath. As in one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Best job ever.

Three reasons why: incredible powers, really hot co-workers, and the license to wreak vengeance on all the bullies, mean girls, and DMV workers of the world.

The downside? Oh, the bloody heart in the mail, the pentagram burned into my lawn, and the rogue angel who's going to destroy the world before I get to. Let's not forget the former Wrath--the guy whose job I took over--he's back. And he is not happy. He's probably going to kill me. Still...

Totally worth it!

Things were looking up…until he opened his mouth. Daemon Black is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy.

Turns out that Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities and Katy is caught in the crosshairs.

When he realizes that she may be a stepping stone to getting him home to his own universe, he engages Faith and begins to use her as a means to an end: going home.

As the attraction grows stronger, Rayner finds himself breaking all sorts of self-set rules, as well as the code of ethics set by him and his fellow warriors. When Faith nears death, Rayner realizes that he must do everything in his power to save her, because if he doesn’t, he may just lose himself.
