Howdy-doo, people! Meljean and I are flipping days, so I’m going to be your Girl Friday for the forseeable future. You know you love it.
You guys know I’m a fan of angel stories, right? Especially sexy angel guys? Possibly? So I was really excited to hear when my friend Michele Lang sold a book, that it was about a HOT ANGEL GUY. Seriously, it’s like she wrote this book just for me. The novel is called LADY LAZARUS and it features a witch who’s out to stop the baddies of World War II, and to do so, she has to find a book. And the book has a hot, sexy, winged guardian…I think you know where I’m going here.
So I asked Michele to guest blog and here she is!
Michele Lang on her new release, LADY LAZARUS:
One of my favorite characters in all of my books is the mighty but tortured Raziel, the author of the magical book that everybody wants in LADY LAZARUS. His motives may be murky as seen through Magda’s eyes, but Raziel never does
things halfway and despite all the dangers and his essential mystery, she knows he will never leave her.Here’s a quick list of just a few of the reasons I love my man-angel so much. I SWEAR there will be no spoilers…
5 reasons why Raziel rocks my world1. The dude is righteous. Unlike me, he doesn’t second guess his role in the world and knows his place in the universe. Until he meets that infuriating witch, Magda Lazarus, face to face, and oh wait…
2. Wingspan. There are angel wings, and then there are the blocky man-wings of Raziel. Except when he gives them up to…eerrrr…
3. He looks great in a suit. Raziel knows how to dress, though he doesn’t know how to button a shirt. Ahem…moving on…
(Jill’s note – I do not consider this a problem in the slightest.)4. He kicks bad guy butt. Werewolves turn into gray goo on contact. Wizards back away when he arrives on the scene. Except he seems to know the most ancient demon of the Reich a little *too* well…uh oh…
5. He stands by Magda. Despite all of the above and much more, he never doubts the fact he is meant to watch over her. Except when he realizes their feelings for each other could doom them both…dun dun dun…
Hey, I promised no spoilers. *evil laughter*
