From the No. 1 international bestselling author of the Crossfire series, A Touch of Crimson is the first novel in Sylvia Day's sensationally sexy Renegade Angels series. If you fell for Gideon Cross, wait until you meet the men who really are out of this world...

Adrian Mitchell is an angel of immense power and an insatiable desire for the one woman he can't have. The head of an elite unit of the Seraphim, his task is to punish the Fallen - angels who have become vampires - and command a restless pack of indentured lycans. Now, nearly two hundred years after losing the love of his life, Adrian has found his beloved Shadoe, her soul inhabiting a new body with no memory of him.

Lindsay Gibson can't resist her fierce attraction to the seductive male who crosses her path. Swept into a dangerous world of tumultuous passion and preternatural conflict, Lindsay realises there's more at stake than her love and her life - both she and Adrian could lose their very souls...

The thrilling Renegade Angels series continues with A Hunger So Wild...

DO NOT READ THIS SERIES

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 September 2017

Verified Purchase

Although the renegade angels books are fantastic, Sylvia Day obviously thinks nothing of her fans as she didn't finish this series. I have waited nearly 5 years for the final book in the trilogy, and for five years all her website is saying is date to be confirmed. So unless you want to be left angry for never knowing the end of the story don't bother starting it

Renegade Angels book 1

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 November 2012

First of all, let me explain why I started reading this book. I recently finished a series on Fallen Angels and I am craving for more novels related to this theme. And from reading Bared to You, I came to know this fantastic author Sylvia Day. And when I found out she's also written paranormal romance, I decide to give this a try.

Prior to reading this, I've read the novella A Dark Kiss of Rapture based on this series and I was quite intrigued about a world with angels, vampires and lycans.

This is the first book in the Rengade Angels trilogy and is mainly about the Sentinels, a group of warrior angels who are tasked to keep the vampires (fallen angels) under control, and their leader Adrian. The fallen angels are cursed with vampirism because they interacted with and felt in love with mortals. Adrian, although, made the same mistake by falling for the nephil child of the first fallen angel, has a different form of punishment. The soul of his beloved Shadoe is reincarnated throughout the centuries with no recollection of their past. And he has to fall in love and then lose her over and over again.

After the death of his second-in-command, discovery of a plague among the vampires and a growing possibility of a rebellions among his lycans, Adrian is trying to prepare for war when Shadoe returns to him in the form of Lindsay. And Lindsay, confused by the connection she has with Adrian, is drawn into the war between the angels and vampires which has been fought for centuries.

It's an incredible read and it kept my attention all the way through. It's packed with action, mystery and romance and it very much reminded me of the early days of the Sookie Stackhouse series, probably with less humour. Lindsay has a skill or disability to be able to sense supernatural which led her to become a hunter and not able to lead a normal life-does that sound similar to Sookie's mind reading skill? Similar to Charlaine, Sylvia has a lot of different characters and species of supernatural beings to handle with. The glossary at the beginning of the novel is very useful. Similar to other readers, I found it hard to get into in the beginning with all the terminology and I had to keep referring back to the glossary. However, once you overcome that, you will realize Sylvia has created quite an interesting supernatural world.

Angels, vampires and lycans are actually different "fruits" of the same tree as they share the same root. And each species have their own hierarchy. I quite like the fact that Sylvia used the term "lycan" instead of wolf which is more common. Unlike in other stories where the werewolves are servants of vampires, in this book, they serve the Sentinels and hunt vampires. And the concept of warrior angels with coloured (not white) wings is quite interesting and very different to the general image of angels we have. Fallen angels becoming vampire is also quite an unusual take on the vampire myth. So is the fact about the losing the angel wings means losing the soul.

As for the characters, Sylvia did a good portrait of the emotionless Sentinel (apart from the case of Adrian) and I also like Lindsay being a selfless and independent woman. Elijah is also an interesting character, very down to earth. To be honest, I can feel the friendship between Elijah and Lindsay better than between Lindsay and Adrian.

I know Sylvia has a lot to introduce to us in the first book and hence she could only give us glimpse and flashbacks from the past and through the dreams Lindsay has. I still however have problem to understand the connection between Lindsay/Shadoe and Adrian. I know Adrian was initially attracted to her because of her being vessel of Shadoe's soul but I don't know when and how he ends up liking her as a person, instead of Shadoe. And towards the end Shadoe is portrayed as the "slut" to make Lindsay the better one, in a way to justify why Adrian chose her. The story of Adrian and Shadoe is also linked to Syre but I do feel like more elaboration on the past story would have been better.

This is a new series with potential and I do like the way Sylvia is organizing this trilogy. Basically, three parallel books told from the point of view of the different species involved in the conflict. I would continue to read on and also the novella accompanying the trilogy. At the end of book 1, we know that there is a traitor in the Sentinel and the lycans have left the Sentinel to claim their freedom. I guess we will find out how the story continues in the next book.

good read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 September 2014

Lyndsey is drawn to adrian although she doesn't know why, she is attracted to him but wants to fight their desire for eachother as she is human and hes an angel and their love will have consequences for adrian and as she begins to fall for him it gets harder for them to remain apart.

this is a good read but I think the book is let down by the characters as they seem more 2 dimensional than 3 dimensional and they seem to be written without passion and sometimes they become boring, also lyndsey never actually finds out who killed her mother and this was the driving force for her character.
overall I give this a 3.5* and im unsure if ill read the next installment of the series.

I love this book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 February 2014

I read the authors other stuff and enjoyed it but nothing like this one. hot sexy angels, what's not to like. I think I have fallen in love with Adrian which is exactly what you want as a reader, to be drawn in completely. It took me a while to get into the writing style as her other books are written from one perspective but it didn't prevent me becoming the character which was nice. So parts in the boom I found I lost what was happening but oh the whole it was excellent. Can't wait to read look 2

First time I read this type of book and I am hooked! Pure escapism, loved every second of it! I already dowloaded another two books from what seems like the same series. I wish the story of Lindsey and her angel continued though! Perfect romance, just enough of darkness and some very hot encounters too!
