Seven deadly sins. Seven souls to save. And a man and a woman treading the lines of danger, desire and deliverance...

As the son of a serial killer, homicide detective Thomas DelVecchio Jr grew up in the shadow of evil. Now, on the knife-edge between civic duty and blind retribution, he atones for the sins of his father. Hired to monitor Veck is Internal Affairs officer Sophia Reilly, whose interest in Veck is both professional and arousingly personal. But Veck and Sophia have a common interest.

He’s Jim Herron, a mysterious stranger enlisted to save the soul of a killer’s latest victim, one precariously hovering between heaven and hell. Before Herron’s job is done, Veck and Sophia will be inexorably drawn into a battle of good against evil, where the risk is nothing less that total damnation.

J. R. Ward

J. R. Ward

Some writers create worlds; J. R. Ward builds empires of shadow and desire, where immortal warriors fight for love as fiercely as they battle their enemies. Best known for her Black Dagger Brotherhood series, Ward has transformed paranormal romance into something more—a pulse-pounding blend of dark fantasy, sizzling passion, and deeply human struggles, all wrapped in her unmistakable, razor-sharp prose.

Born Jessica Rowley Pell Bird, Ward was drawn to storytelling from an early age, her imagination fueled by gothic literature, sweeping epics, and the kind of brooding, tormented heroes that now dominate her books. Though she originally pursued a career in law, the call of fiction was irresistible. It wasn’t long before she abandoned legal briefs for manuscripts, pouring her love of complex characters and high-stakes drama into every page.

The Black Dagger Brotherhood series, which began with Dark Lover in 2005, didn’t just find an audience—it ignited a fandom. Readers were immediately drawn to her world of powerful yet wounded vampire warriors, each haunted by their past and bound by an unbreakable brotherhood. With its blend of raw emotion, high-octane action, and scorching romance, the series redefined the genre, influencing countless authors and setting a new standard for paranormal storytelling.

Beyond vampires, Ward has explored a spectrum of dark and addictive narratives, from the gritty Bourbon Kings trilogy to her compelling spin-off, the Black Dagger Legacy. Each book crackles with her signature intensity, where love is always hard-won and danger lurks at every turn. Her work has earned a place on The New York Times bestseller list multiple times, a testament to her ability to craft stories that sink deep into readers' souls.

Ward, who writes with a near-religious discipline, often describes her creative process as an obsession. “I don’t create these stories; they take over,” she has admitted in interviews. This relentless drive is evident in the depth of her world-building and the intensity of her characters—every flaw, every scar, every whispered vow feels lived-in, as if her warriors and heroines are more than fiction; they are legend.

Despite the darkness in her books, there is always light—love that endures against impossible odds, brotherhood stronger than blood, and the promise that even the most broken can find redemption. With each novel, Ward continues to prove that romance can be just as thrilling, just as harrowing, and just as unforgettable as the greatest of epics.

For those who crave stories where passion is as dangerous as the battles fought, where loyalty is a force stronger than fate, and where love demands everything—J. R. Ward remains the undisputed queen of the genre.

I read the Finnish translation. This is part of the Fallen Angel -series and I thought this was better than the second book. The couple that came together in this book were likable characters and the annoying baddie demon was in a smaller role, I think. I guess I'm going to continue with the series, because these are so easy to read.
