Angel's Pawn is a stand alone novella that introduces us to Ashwini, who works for The Guild and Janvier, a vampire she's constantly tracking. Even though you don't have to have read Angels' Blood and Archangel's Kiss before reading the novella, I would suggest you do so. If you're not familiar with The Guild, you will be confused. A lot of character names are introduced in this novella and even I had a hard time keeping them straight. Being a novella, it was a quick read. I enjoyed the sexual tension between Ash and Janvier. They bantered constantly which kept the pace of the novella moving steadily. This was a quick way for me to get my Guild Hunter fix even though Raphael and Elena are not mentioned in the novella. I enjoyed Ash and Janvier's relationship immensely. I finished reading Angels' Pawn feeling unfilled. There was no resolution in regards to their "relationship". Janvier has the hots for Ash but Ash has a steadfast rule of not dating vampires. But throughout the novella, Ash struggled against giving in to Janvier's cajun charm. I hope that A & J will get their own book; I would love to see where their relationship is headed. It has a lot of potential of being just as good as Raphael and Elena's story.
