Keir left his mother’s realm four years
ago, giving up his position as Prince and declaring himself
outcast without any explanations. Now, Keir is being summoned
back to her realm by her request. Keir has no idea why now or
what for, except it can’t be good. The Queen, his mother, has
sent Christophe to summon Kier – handily ignoring Christophe’s
anger towards Kier. When the Queen then sends Kier and
Christophe to obtain an artifact from the mortal world things
get tricky. Kier has to deal with Christophe’s anger,
completing the mission without any real idea what he’s looking
for and hiding his true reason for leaving the realm. How
will Christophe react when he finds out that the reason for
Keir’s leaving has to do with his incubus power not working on
women, but men?
Angels Come to Visit is a
great fantasy story dealing with angels, demons, incubi and
scuba. Kier is full of angst over his reasons for leaving the
realm in the first place, along with his inability to return
home again. Christophe is a lovely angel that has grown up in
Kier’s absence while holding tightly to the anger he feels
over Kier’s leaving without any explanations. These two will
burn you up when they come together and entertain you while
they dance around each other before coming together. However,
I would have liked to know more about the world Keir and
Christophe inhabit and a little more background on all the
undercurrents that can be felt throughout the story
influencing the outcome. The basic plot of the book is very
interesting and intriguing, but the story would have benefited
from being expanded to explain several of the turning points
in the action and the reasons for some of the reactions
exhibited by Keir, Christophe and other secondary characters.
A lot of tangential questions remain unanswered at the end,
which disappointed me, as I loved this world Dianne Fox built
and I wanted to know more. Still, Angels Come to Visit
is a sweet tale about the strength of love and what one is
willing to overcome to gain it. When you are in the mood for
a good fantasy romance, pick up Angels Come to Visit
– it’s a good way to spend a lazy afternoon! |
