The Darkest Night - Gena Showalter.

Gena Showalter tends to write a lot about Angels and Demons , in The Darkest Night we read as Lysander an iron-willed assassin for god and an Angel has never known the meaning of Lustfulness as it is a wide known sin until he lays eyes on a Harpie- one of Lucifer's spawn Bianka. When Lysander falls in love he is determined to make her good and to wipe clean the evil from her cursed bloodline. However Bianka has different ideas as she wishes to tempt and lead the pure-hearted angel Lysander into darkness. Will Bianka turn to good or will Lysander be switching from God's army to Lucifer's ? Or with time will they both be as pure-hearted as each other and realise that with the price of love can come the breaking of a curse.
