She describes the politics of Heaven and the hierarchy between the paranormal beings that populate the novels. She fleshes out the characters to bring out their softer side as a mirror to the slightly evil, cold and dangerous nature particularly of the angels of death. Even as the heroes are strong men that are not immune to selfish pleasures and a little bit of vanity they do not fall for these but rather for justice. The heroine is also a well-rounded character who grows over the course of the series to make for a determined and full of spunk character. It makes for interesting reading to learn that the heroine loves freedom more than anything though they are not above deception to achieve their end goal. Cynthia keeps the reader guessing on just what her characters are going to do next, even as the characters grow and evolve to complement each other. The romance and passion is sizzling with the constant struggle between the fallen angels and the tension and passion between the half succubus heroine, Seline. The author makes for some surprising endings as the novels end in explosive twists to leave the reader in
thrall.

Unlike humans he never had to deal with emotion and hence fulfilling his duties had never been a problem. But then he met Nicole who struck a chord with him unlike anyone ever had. She had attracted him with her goodness that he just had to intervene when she was in trouble. Of course he was fired and cast out of Heaven for taking a life he was never asked to take and for interfering in something that was none of his business. He lost his powers and wings and soon found himself full of sensations and emotions he previously only associated with humans.
