After one too many attempts to enliven the heavenly halls, she's sent to earth to tame her naughty nature.

Now he must prove to himself and others that he is what he's always been cold and emotionless. But as danger threatens and his need for Passion heats up, he finds himself balanced on love's...

Review

Wicked Edge is a fun paranormal romance full of angels, demons, and a very naughty cat.

Passion is a bad angel. She tries to be good, but she just can’t. So, she’s being punished by being sent to Earth as a human. She finds herself at the Castle of Wicked Dreams where being bad is the only way to be.

Edge is a cosmic troublemaker. He is death. Working at the Castle of Wicked Dreams keeps him occupied between jobs, but the monotony is getting to him. At least until he meets Passion.

I really liked these two characters. They are complete opposites, but still incredibly attracted to each other. Passion and Edge fit well together and the relationship that evolves between them flows well within the story.

The main drama comes from someone wrecking their own havoc with the three cosmic troublemakers – Ganymede, Edge, and Sparkles. They are being controlled at times and made to cause some very big trouble. Normally, it wouldn’t be a bad thing for a troublemaker to cause trouble, but these three larger than life entities don’t take it well when someone is stronger or more powerful than they are. The three set out with the help of Passion, another angel Hope, and several demons and vampires to find out exactly who is messing with them. I thought that the bad guy was pretty obvious, but was completely surprised when he was revealed.

What I loved most about Wicked Edge is the humor in the story. At times the characters are facing real life or death situations, but the way they handle them is at times hilarious. There is also a very sexy overtone to the book – with one scene in particular very, very hot.

I really enjoyed this latest installment of the Castle of Dark Dreams series. If you are interested in reading the other books in the series (which I enjoyed), here they are in order:

  1. Wicked Nights
  2. Wicked Pleasure
  3. Wicked Fantasy
  4. My Wicked Vampire
  5. Wicked Edge
