Resumen del Editor

An angel with immense power and insatiable desire, Adrian Mitchell leads an elite Special Ops unit of the seraphim. His task is to punish the Fallen - angels who have become vampires - and command a restless pack of indentured lycans.

But Adrian has suffered his own punishment for becoming involved with mortals - losing the woman he loves again and again. Now, after nearly 200 years, he has found her: Shadoe, her soul once more inhabiting a new body that doesn’t remember him. This time he won’t let her go.

With no memory of her past as Shadoe, Lindsay Gibson knows only that she can’t help being fiercely attracted to the smoldering, seductive male who crosses her path. Swept into a dangerous world of tumultuous passion and preternatural conflict, Lindsay is soon caught between her angel lover, her vampire father, and a full-blown lycan revolt. There’s more at stake than her love and her life - she could lose her very soul....

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Explodes with passion and heat. A hot, sexy angel to die for and a gutsy heroine make for one exciting read." ( New York Times best-selling author Cheyenne McCray)

"Sylvia Day spins a gorgeous adventure that combines gritty, exciting storytelling with soaring lyricism. Adrian is my favorite kind of hero - an alpha-male angel determined to win the heart of his heroine, Lindsay, while protecting her from his lethal enemy.... This is definitely a book for your keeper shelf." ( New York Times best-selling author Angela Knight)

Amazing!

Day is right, this is for her Marked series readers.

Lindsay is confident, buffy-the-vampire-slayer type who falls in love with a badass angel, makes friends with a lycan, and generally is cool chick. Adrian is hot, intelligent, and doesn't have boring flaws. There's no stupid lack of communication, no break ups over nothing. The characters don't spend so much time apart that you're listening on 2x speed until they're together then (**ahem** Possession **cough**). The story is well thought out and the characters well developed. The love scenes are graphic but not over the top. Really, it's just everything I was looking for in an audiobook.

All I want now is a cameo from Eve. Maybe in book 3?

Couldn't stop listening!

I really really loved this book, and I listened to it in about a day and half--I literally couldn't and didn't want to do anything else, I was captivated. I purchased the second book "A Hunger So Wild" first before realizing Touch of Crimson preceded it--not sure how I missed that this was a series--but, even knowing what the outcome would be didn't spoil this first book in the series. Great storyline, great characters, the narrator was perfect for these characters, and the main character Adrian was intoxicating just as Sylvia Day is so adept at conveying in all the books I've listened to by her. This book is about 'other worldly' beings that are trying to fulfill their earthly missions, but of course it gets all mucked up with betrayals, people having to pay for their 'sins', wrongful murders, and as always ultimately being overtaken by love, etc. Just my kind of book! Credit worthy or just buy it outright. Another awesome one by Sylvia Day, can't wait for the third installment.

Great Story Bad Narration

The story is a new realm for me. The idea of angels in love is kind of a heady thing. I wanted to be able to immerse myself in this story the way I have in other paranormal romances, but I couldn't. The narrator has a nice voice, but he sounded like he was reading a text book half of the time. There are some narrators that can pull you in on the first sentence of a book, while it took me a few chapters to get used to him reading. Only the story line made me listen to the entire thing. At one point I wanted to give up and read the book, which I probably will do because I couldn't pay attention to the entire story line because I was obsessed with the way the narrator was reading the book. If you can get past the voice, then this is a great story, I loved the explanation of why his wings are tipped in crimson :-) The characters are very believable and relate-able. I will continue to listen to the series because I'm hooked on the story line I just hope the don't use the same narrator.

i reallllly liked this one! where is the next one?

where is the next one?? i thought this was sexy and flirty! and hot and really made me want to hear the other the other characters stories

Exciting I really enjoyed this Audiblebook

I really enjoyed this series. I wish more books would hurry and come out so the story can continue.

Meh

This is the second story I have listened to by this author. I didn't like the first book and thought it was because of the similarities to Fifty Shades of Gray. But after listen to this book I have now decided that it is the author's writing style I don't like. The plot had potential but the story was so wrapped up in personal angst, that the plot was forgotten and only touched apon briefly. It was a chore to get through this book. I couldn't wait for the book to end.

A winner!

If you could sum up A Touch of Crimson in three words, what would they be?

Another great series.

Who was your favorite character and why?

No favorite.

Have you listened to any of Luke Daniels’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

First listen and he did fine.

Any additional comments?

It is at such a good price I didn't use a credit. If you like this genre of book then I think you'll be well pleased with this one. It is the first book in the series and I'm already looking foward to getting the next one.
