Good book

I like the book, but... There are just a few things that tiptoe on the side of "Ummm, I can't believe you have to Male Arch Angles screwing each other and one getting gang raped by a hoard of demons. I could have lived without a few of the details. I am not religious, not gay but reading this doesn't hurt my feelings, however the ideas the purpose is based on is slightly contradictory. Of course I am not sure if that is the reason I like the book and raising an eye-brow at the same time.

Loved it!

Awesome book. had me laughing out loud one minute then cursing up a storm lol...

Fantastic stories

I am really enjoying this series of books by JR Ward. This book as with the first two in this series is well written and enjoyable along with suspenseful. I especially love how in each of the fallen angel novels there is at least something of the black dagger brotherhood in it.
Really looking forward to the next installment in this series.

Anthropopathic Angel Anomalies

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. Readers/listeners need to schew their perspectives on the afterlife and the battle strategies between angels n demons. JRWard puts an interesting twist in the Fallen Angel series. Jim Heron and his duo kick-ass angel buddies bring a lot of color into this story. Without giving away the plot, I will only say if you've enjoyed Ward's BDB series, this one won't disappoint. Ward even weaves in characters from her BDB into this one. Since this series also revolves around Caldwell, NY, it makes sense. 5 stars for another entertaining series.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Envy: A Novel of the Fallen Angels?

When Jim took the bullet meant for the hero n heroine.

Have you listened to any of Eric G Dove’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No. But I like his voice n style

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No extreme reaction. Just amused by the author's take on the heavenly/hell warfare tactics

Book was good. Narrator was Amazing!

I'm in love with Eric Dove! He could read the dictionary and I would listen to it. Oh and the strory was good too.

Yes!! This is J.R. Ward after all!!

Alright, so this series didn???t start with the bang that The Black Dagger Brotherhood did, but I must tell you, this series is certainly getting better and better, and J.R. Ward shows us with this novel that not only can she hold us captive to the BDB world, but she???s more than capable of doing it again with her Fallen Angel???s world and its characters.
Eric G. Dove does a good job bringing these characters and story to life, not in the dramatic way of Jim Frangione (narrator of the Black Dagger Brotherhood) but in a matter fact tone that gives this world its own vibe.
His approach to the sensuality in this book is excellent, the tone and manner of delivery of all male characters are very good, plenty of variations, my biggest complaint is the very little distinction between the female voices, but it???s not bothersome enough to distract you from the story, within a few minutes of listening you find yourself completely absorbed, and entirely disregarding the sometimes unemotional tone of Mr. Dove.
Ultimately, I highly recommend this audiobook, in my opinion, the best one of the series thus far.

BDB followers, don't miss this series

JR Ward has a wonderful way with words. Her quirky phrases, and tough guy persona's are not to be missed. This series just keeps getting better, and I love the way she intermingles it with the Black Dagger Brotherhood world. Every now and then, you recognize something that also took place, or a character, from the BDB. Very cleaver indeed. Even if you don't follow her other series, you have to enjoy this one. There is so much suspense, romance, action, and wow what a mystery going on. You absolutely don't know who will win the battle til the end. That is what the series is based on. Good battling evil, in 7 contests. Winner gets the world. This is contest #3, and I can't wait for #4.

Different story premise.

Would you consider the audio edition of Envy to be better than the print version?

Yes, since the reader brings the story to life.

What did you like best about this story?

The Idea that angels could be amoung us looking and acting like everyone else.

Any additional comments?

I found it engaging all the way through without losing my attention.

Enjoyable

Wonderfully well developed story-line draws you in and keeps you hanging on to every word. Great characters involve you intimately from the very beginning to the very last. An exemplary work.

Fallen Angels series is still good

I have really enjoyed listening to JR Ward's Fallen Angel series. Definitely start at the beginning, though, so you can better understand what's going on. I had moments of laughing out loud, as well as moments with tears streaming down my cheeks, as I listened to this one. I would caution those who have issues with the F word, homosexuality, and occasional but somewhat graphic sex scenes. That being said, though, I am truly enjoying the relationships Ward is developing with her characters, and look forward to the next in the series. Eric Dove does a fine job at narration, too. After listening to the first two in the series, I highly recommend you snatch this one right up!
