Review: Rapture by J.R. Ward
Rapture by J.R. Ward (The Fallen Angels #4) Released: September 25, 2012 Paranormal Romance Berkley Reviewed by Mandi Please Note: The hero of this book has been kept pretty hush hush. If you want to go into the book with a totally clean slate, please don’t read this review. Rapture is book four in JR Ward’s Fallen Angel series. I wasn’t a big fan of the first two, but the last book was an enjoyable read. Rapture falls down the middle. It is an okay book, slow at times, but Continue Reading
