Helen is woken up in the middle of the night by her mother and forced to scape her own home by a secret passage. That night she will change her life forever, she will find out why her parents gave their lives for her, why they raised her the way they did.

“A temptation of angels” was a decent book. I like some aspects of it but there were some things I did not enjoy. I liked the angel world created in this book and the mythology behind it, however since it is just a stand alone I found that the background world is not as developed as if it would have been if it was a series.
Apart from that, the pace was quite slow at the beginning and rushed towards the end. Not only that, but the romance in this book was complete unnecessary and it came out of nowhere.

To sum up, “a temptation of angels” was one of those books that are not as good as they seemed. I liked it but I do not recommend it since it was not really amazing.
