The stranger’s cloak had fallen back, and with it, a long, white, blood-stained wing. When Melaia, a young priestess, witnesses the gruesome murder of a stranger in the temple courtyard, age-old legends recited in song suddenly come to life. She discovers wings on the stranger, and the murderer takes the shape of both a hawk and a man. Angels. Shape-shifters. Myths and stories—until now. Melaia finds herself in the middle of a blood feud between two immortal brothers who destroyed the stairway to heaven, stranding angels in the earthly realm. When Melaia becomes a target, she finds refuge with a band of angels attempting to restore the stairway. But the restoration is impossible without settling an ancient debt—the “breath of angel, blood of man,” a payment that involves Melaia’s heart, soul, and destiny.

I bought this book because I won the 3rd book in the series on the Goodreads First-Reads Giveaways and I usually prefer to read the whole series instead of just part of it. Wasn't sure what to expect and even considered just reading the third book and not buying the first two. I'm so glad that I did purchase the first two to read and so far the story is so much better than I could have ever hoped for. The author does an amazing job bringing the story to life and building up the characters as well as the world they live in."Breath of Angel" is the first book in the Angelaeon Circle series and it definitely makes you want to see what happens next. The author effortlessly builds a story about love, trust, friendship, mystery, tragedy, and intrigue. This book had everything. It has a great story line that beautifully blends together the beginnings of a romance, loads of action, adventure, mystery, and even a bit comedy.
I highly recommend this book and I already know everyone who reads it will fall in love with Melaia and her quest to protect her loved ones, find the angelic harps, and to restore the angel's stairway home while completing her mother's work. I know I fell in love with this story and can't wait to start the second book. If it's even half as good as the first one I already know I'm not going to be able to put it down. "Breath of Angel" is a major page turner everyone will enjoy and you'll be dying to know what happens next at the end of the book just like I am.

Breath of Angel A Novel The Angeleaon Circle Book 1 eBook Karyn Henley Reviews
This is the first book in the Angeleon Circle; there are three books in this series. I read the first hundred pages of this book and really struggled with it.
The story is set in a fantasy-type setting and starts out at a temple. Angels are real and walk the earth but unknown to most people. Melaia, our heroine, finds herself immersed in the politics of angels as a series of strange events unfold.
I struggled with a number of things about this book. The writing doesn’t flow well, the characters aren’t engaging, and there are a lot of names/characters thrown at the reader in a very short time which makes the story hard to follow.
Our heroine is supposed to be the priestess to take over the temple she’s at, but very quickly that is all thrown out the window and she is basically sold to the King and a new temple. This whole storyline seemed very abrupt and disjointed.
I ended up stopping the book because I just had absolutely no interest in the story or characters at all and I have a lot of books to read. The writing style was very basic and didn’t flow well. There just wasn’t anything about this book that I enjoyed even remotely.
Overall this was an awkward and poorly written fantasy that didn’t engage me at all. I would not recommend and won’t be reading anymore of this series.
The blurb and great over hooked me. The story starts out strong but then peters out. The prose is stilted. Characters feel one dimensional. The romance felt like an artificial plot device.
The whole story felt flat.
The writing is so simplistic that it seems to me this book would be better suited to Middle School reader rather than YA.
great story line! Not as Biblical as I would have liked
I really enjoyed the story. It was fresh and unique, with several twists I didn't see coming. Very well done and I can't wait to read the next installment!
I don't have a complete opinion as of yet. This is the first of a series. Sometimes that gets me really excited to continue. Sometimes not. This was not a book that I had heard a lot about before I received book 2 for review. After reading it, I am left intrigued with the possibilities but I don't feel overwhelming on one side versus the other. Is this a bad thing? No, it's just a wait and see kind of thing, I am interested in continuing, but in no real rush to do so. (Perhaps that is why Book 2 is just now making it to the reading pile?)
I wouldn't like Breath of Angel if it was a stand-alone title. There are too many things left unsettled. But it works well for the beginning of a series. The action picks up and more of the story starts unraveling at the end of the book. The bigger issues is not resolved in Book 1, but everything comes together nice enough. The characters are connected in more ways than what they knew. Yet, I fell that there are more secrets to uncover.
I can't say that I have made up my mind about the main character, Melaia. Overall, she's likable and handles the burden of her destiny fairly well. But characters who fail to listen and find trouble constantly always irritate me. She doesn't have the full story or all the information that she needs so she's not in a position to make a wise decision. Since she's not likely to force people to tell her what they know, she has to listen to somebody.
Jarrod is rough and keeps things close. He is full of knowledge and skills but he's not always willing to share. Trevin is the bad boy who shouldn't be trusted but is. I am not surprised at all of his betrayal (regardless of the reason). Secretly, I am glad that he turned out to be good guy. Though this is not your typical angel story, I enjoyed the rich history that comes with it.
