Pale Wings Protecting by Lesley DavisMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Finished on February 20, 2021
This book sets up a great crime/detective story and Lesley wove in paranormal elements very well. Detective Daryl has a fascinating ability to always find her lost kids, alive or dead. When she feels drawn towards a series of child kidnappings and the FBI isn’t trusting her hunches she approaches the DDU for help. She gets partnered with Agent Blythe and the two must go undercover to find the missing children and the culprits behind the kidnappings.
I love Blythe and Daryl and I adored the chemistry between them. The two of them together felt good, right and their fake marriage was amazing. The attraction between the two was instantaneous and it was nice to see romance blossom as the two pretended to be in love with each other. I also love that after pretending to be married for a while the two decided to just get married for real.
I had one main problem with the story and that was just that I felt there was a bit too much of Rafe and Ashley. They made sense for the story and the investigation, but I wish less time had been spent with them.
The supernatural elements of this book were a key plot point, but they also weren’t brought up at every pivotal point. Daryl has an Impressor who points her in the right direction to the children she needs to find. The paranormal entities aren’t constantly in their face even if they are operating in the background at the time. It was a nice additional layer to an already good story.
This book is a fun, engaging read and I loved almost everything about it. If you want a good story with an engaging plotline and practically no relationship drama, read it.
Favorite Scene/Quote: The gym scene and the end fight scene
4.5/5 rounded up
I’ve read Lesley Davis’ Playing trilogy but had been avoiding reading her Wings Trilogy because I’m not the biggest fan of paranormal romances. This is the second of the Wings books and now I have to read the other two.
