Publisher's summary

After a fatal hit and run accident, Ella Monroe fears that she's lost more than her beloved parents. Horrifying visions of a past life and a disturbing voice in her head have psychiatric professionals convinced that she's lost her sanity as well. But when Kale - a dark and handsome stranger with a mysterious past - reveals the true meaning of her visions and the tremendous power she wields through them, Ella must come to terms with the devastating truths of her own past, while eluding an ancient Dark Prince who seeks to control not only her future, but all of mankind's, by means of abilities that Ella is only beginning to understand.

Enter the shrouded world of an age old battle between an ancient race known as the Immortals and their bitter enemy Laurent, the so-called Dark Prince, who commands an army of half-breed vampires known as Chorý. Both sides have been desperately searching for the prophesied emergence of the Arc, a clairvoyant with unparalleled power to recall the past and a soothsayer with clear vision into the future.

The Council of Immortals has sworn to protect the Arc, whom they have identified as young Ella Monroe, a college freshman from Virginia living quietly and unaware of her powers or her past. But a renegade Chorý has other plans for the protection of a girl he has loved through the ages. Can Kale convince Ella of who she is, what she is destined to become, and what he once meant to her? Is he truly the best protector to shield the world from the devastating misuse of her powers that Laurent is bent on controlling? Or will the forbidden love they share and Kale's cursed condition as a retched and hated Chory be used against them both?

This paranormal romance told from the heroine's perspective builds in intensity and intrigue to a finale you won't see coming. Heart pounding action mixed with heartwarming friendships and heartbreaking romance will leave you breathless and begging for more.

Excellent Story and Narrative

This was a great story and I can see how it will be a great series. Can't wait for book 2!

NARRATION AND EDITING RUINED THIS..PLUS NO ACTION!

Would you try another book from Inger Iversen and/or Jelayna Rose?

Probably No...

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Lame..

What three words best describe Jelayna Rose’s performance?

Really Needs Improvement!

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No..well maybe...if they added some action in..interesting concept...but the story is dull...

Any additional comments?

** I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review **

I wanted to like this, and I didn't hate i...but the editing was the most awful editing in any audio book ever! I have listened to over 400 books so I consider myself fairly knowledgeable on this...every chapter there is mistakes...repeat words, and whole sentences....this narrator must be new...because she is more of a reader, then a narrator...lots of run on sentences...and too fast in some parts...The story itself could of been really really great...but nothing happens till almost the ending...the past lives were not fully explored or explained...its just a weak story with a strong concept...I will not continue this series...and I do not recommend it.....overall really a 2.5....I hate leaving bad reviews, because I normally like everything but this is just not goo and I had to force myself to finish it......

I am HOOKED

Would you listen to Few Are Angels again? Why?

Some parts and not the whole book. I don't listen to audiobooks again. I just buy new ones. Still, it is a good clean romance novel and I'd recommend it.

Love :)

Would you consider the audio edition of Few Are Angels to be better than the print version?

I didn't read the print version, but I think I like this better than reading since I can do it while driving.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Few Are Angels?

The ending...

Which scene was your favorite?

When Ella was in the graveyard with Kale and he helped her by telling her the truth.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

In two sittings.

Couldn't Finish

After all the build up about this book I was totally dismayed by the naivete of the heroine. Past life reincarnation can be done beautifully but this one was told in a mish mash of fractures, never really getting a full picture or a reasonable explanation of cause and effect. I gave up at chapter 16 out of 36. Maybe it got better but I got bored with no clear direction of where the story was headed. The narrator wasn't the best, can you say run on sentences, I was hoping she knew what a period was indicative of, however she ran on, and on.

GOOD STORY AWFUL NARRATION

The story was good but some parts needed written more clearer. Like the beginning and the background history. It does leave you wanting to read the next book in the series. The main reason for my rating is the narration sucked. The reader was okay with working with different character voice however at times she talked to fast and the story would get lost, And it was so poorly edited. Sentences were repeated way to many times to count. It was annoying. I don't believe there was any editing done on this at all. If there had been then there wouldn't have been so much repeating of the same words It really ruined the joy of listening to the story.

Short story was good but leave reader wanting more

Fallen angel ( drinks blood) trying to keep bad beings from hurting humans. Falls for the best friend of missing reporter. Of course the "angel" falls in love with the friend & helps her. They have sex & she will give birth to special baby (alone) Guess there will be another book.. Question: If this fallen angel doesn't have a heartbeat or blood pressure. How did he have an erection to perform sex & impregnate the human female????? I didn't sense any diversity of different cultures or races in this story. But, i would buy another book to find out more about the characters. Alot of things were unanswered & if she gets to visit her best friend in the end instead of talking to her on the phone.

Terrible editing, repeats sentences constantly

First off the narrator herself was okay.
The recording and editing was terrible. It repeated sentences throughout the whole recording. The pauses between chapters was extensive.
The story had so many flashbacks with different scenes and new people that it made it difficult to keep track of if it was present or past because there was nothing to differentiate between them.
It ended on a cliffhanger but I will not be getting the next book in audio version because it was so bad.
I wanted to stop part way in but a got a complimentary copy and personally felt I needed to hear it all before I left an honest opinion

Like the story, hate the narrator

Narrator doesn’t seem to know when to pause or enunciate sentences. Boring! But I kind of like her accent of him although it’s all over the place. May start reading the books instead

Good story but BAD editing

This was a decent story. However the editing was terrible! Throughout the ENTIRE book there were lines repeated that had not been edited out. The pacing of the narration would switch from normal to really fast, making it hard to understand what was happening at times. The narrator also needs to practice reading with better phrasing and fluency.

Curious about the next in series, but if it has the same issues, I won’t be finishing it.
