Angel with Attitude


$12.51 for rat tricks. Now, I would think that a rat doing tricks would draw more of an audience and much more money. This was all the money Reggie the Rat made when his friend fallen angel, Valerie Grace, forced him to do tricks to make some cash so she could get psychic Bob to help her get back into Heaven. Maybe, if Reggie wasn’t forced to do tricks and was more willing and talented they could have made bank!

I read this part and burst out laughing. Just like the Immortality Bites Series, Angel with Attitude had me roaring. There were so many parts that were hilarious. Michelle Rowen has a “special” kind of humor. How do I describe her humor? Maybe a passage will explain it.

Valerie hurts her ankle. Her tempter demon, Nathaniel, who is uber sexy touches her leg. “Your ankle is broken.” The stranger’s gaze had lowered and he was studying her foot…”Let me take a look at it for you,” he said. Val shook her head. “Really, that’s not necessary,” but he’d already sunk to his knees and pulled up the right leg of her track pants, and was now running a warm hand down her calf. “Oh well, okay then. If you insist.”

Had she shaved her legs recently? She couldn’t remember. She thought so. She’d tried out that depilatory lotion stuff. According to the packaging, it was supposed to last longer than just shaving. She was finding human maintenance to be extremely time-consuming, and in the case of the lotion—a bit goopy.


I thought this was comical. Of course, I busted out laughing. There were many times I did this and, again, my husband had to find out what was so funny. I ignored him and kept reading Angel with Attitude. Valerie has some stranger touching her and she doesn’t know it’s her tempter demon, yet, but worries about her legs being shaved. Yes, there are moments like this silly one that all women have experienced, I’m sure. I know I have and the reality of the situation makes it funny.

The storyline was creative and I really hope the Underworld doesn’t exist. Or maybe, it wouldn’t be so bad if it did look like Miami. The Nightflyers were scary and they would not be fun to encounter, but if glamours really could happen that would be fun. If witchcraft really existed, I can think of some people I would like to turn into rodents or just vanquish them.

What if one of the New York Times bestselling romance writers was a Demon? A male demon! With one big eye and scary looking! Valerie met this writer and the demon sent her autographed books!
