The Angel by Tiffany Reisz. It is safe to say Reisz covers all colors and flavors of the rainbow flag with her Original Sinners series. Fair warning lovely reader, Kingsley Edge is my all-time favorite hero, forever and ever, amen. Kingsley was my first pansexual character and frankly, I’d read volumes of him pondering the minutia of the phone book if I could hear his voice in my head. The sexiest, most complex and broken (are you sensing my pattern?) character in the series, The Angel debuted in 2012 and takes place on Kingsley’s home turf, but it’s really more about Michael and Griffin. Oh, Michael…Michael will break your heart and Reisz will painstakingly put it back together.
Reisz writes the most effortless dialogue and banter I’ve ever read. She makes you feel like a fly on the wall in each and every scene, even the ones I had to google because I wasn’t quite sure what exactly was going on, sexually! Reisz is a master of eroticism and kink, but the deeper story of her Original Sinners is so all-encompassing and gripping and twisty and turny and, well, there is never a dull moment. I encourage everyone to read this series, even if the sex seems intimidating to you – it is so much more than the sex.
