REVIEW I went into this book expecting it to be about gaming, but it really wasn’t. Angel and Arion are online gamers in a massively multiplayer online game similar to World of Warcraft. But aside from some chatting and the online tags they called each other (Angel’s real name is Tess and Arion’s real name is Axel), there was not any game plAy at all. I think it would’ve been cool to meet them in their game as sort of a prologue, but it certainly didn’t detract from the story. Angel is On the run from an abusive boyfriend who was also a little mixed up in some other things. She’s got no money and nowhere to go, so she takes a chance and shows up unannounced at her former online friend’s house. (That’s Arion/Axel). When Angel and Arion started playing together online they would flirt and it seemed like… Read more »

COVER REVEAL: No One’s Angel by Kelly Walker
No One’s Angel by Kelly Walker Publication date: September 17th 2013 Genre: New Adult DESCRIPTION Tess used to spend more hours than she’d care to admit playing her favorite computer game, using the nickname Angel. She could pretend her life was different, and she could pretend Arion was just a friend. But a girl needs more to keep her warm at night than pixels and she traded her virtual heaven for a real life hell. Now she’s on the run from a past she won’t talk about, and the only place she has to go is the doorstep of the friend she’s never actually met. When Angel disappeared from their nightly games, it nearly destroyed Arion. He threw himself into work and women, but he can’t help knowing the one night stands will never compare to the angel who haunts his dreams. At first, when she shows up soaking wet and scared-shitless on his doorstep, he thinks his prayers have been answered. But the more Arion tries to keep Angel close, the more her fear drives her away. If they… Read more »
