At first glance you could be fooled into thinking you know all you need to know about the characters but as with anyone, there are hidden motives and behind the scenes manoeuvring which leaves questions hanging and nicely sets up the next book. An amazing example of this is found in Mark 5:9, where the Bible tells us that the demon-possessed man of the Gadarenes had a legion of demons. That means this man had an infestation of at least 6,000 demons residing inside him! A few years before this event, Jesus already had angels minister to him in his time of greatest trial to that point, after his wilderness trial with the devil.

Thanks for helping,” I said with a fake smile, tossing the saucepan aside. He looked from me, to the unconscious vampires, to the debris of glass and fire all across the club. “What the hell was that?” Their is a little love triangle in Vampire’s Kiss. Two men take an interest in Leda and they approach her in different ways. Leda dose make decisions that lead one or the other on and with that it bumped my liking of her down a notch. I’m not a fan of love triangles, but I will say by the ending things are leaning more towards one.Leda is looking for his kidnapped foster brother and that prompts her to join Legion of Angles. If you ask me, I personally don't like take it. If you are looking for someone, you chose the way which is less cumbersome and more of a shortcut (may be few unauthenticated sources). The problem with this plot is she can find her brother through Ghost whisper gift specially available to level 7 angel which she may achieve after at least few years and that even if she can make it to all trials. Now if you ask me that's very long shot. How does she know by that time her brother would be alive or not turned into some kind of monster? Now, their is one thing I didn’t care for. One scene Leda conforms to peer pressure. Everyone in the Legion of Angel’s takes this drug to help unwind and lossen up. I don’t care for the gods nectar being used as a recreational drug, but I guess at some point we all give into peer pressure. Jesus had some goals to accomplish when he left the Heaven to come to Planet Earth as a human. And he accomplished all of them. The Cross was a success.

Lord, I am so glad You have the power to put an end to my problems! So many times I’ve acted just like Peter, swinging furiously in the strength of my own flesh as I’ve tried to solve my problems without Your help. Forgive me for wasting so much time and energy! Today I ask You to speak to my heart and tell me what I am supposed to do; then help me follow Your instructions to the letter. Give me the patience to wait while You supernaturally work behind the scenes to resolve my questions. By contrast, Christ, David’s greater Son, had at His command “more than twelve legions of angels.” These were not mere soldiers, as those guarding David; these were angels. Let us consider the power of just one angel in the days of King Hezekiah. “And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses” (IIKings 19:35). Simple multiplications shows that 288,000 such angels could handle 53 billion soldiers! And Christ had access to more angels than that! Don't you think that I could call on my Father to send more than twelve legions of angels to help me now? With no magical powers of her own and no way to find him, Leda’s only option is to go to New York and join the Legion of Angels, an elite unit of supernatural soldiers with powers gifted to them by the gods themselves. If she can survive long enough to make it up the ranks, she will gain the magic she needs to find her brother. This edition includes the first 4 books in this series, with a total of 9 books thus far. I'm sorry to say that I only made it through the first book before deciding that with 21 hours left for the next 3 books, I had no desire to go any further. If I happen to change my mind, I will post it here.I had a lot of fun reading Vampire’s Kiss. The story captivated and intrigued me. I liked the balance of action and romance. Urban Fantasy readers will enjoy this book. Or do you think that I am not able to call upon My Father, and He will furnish to Me presently more than twelve legions of angels? Some people say that it was not God’s plan for Jesus to go to the cross, or that Jesus wanted to escape the cross. If either were true, mankind would have been obliterated by a mighty angelic army before Jesus ever reached Golgotha. All of this was God’s plan. Jesus willingly carried out His part. Now we have hope of salvation if we faithfully obey Him. Do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will immediately provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels? Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?

Since a single angel was able to obliterate 185,000 men in one night, it would mean the combined strength in a legion of 6,000 angels would be enough to destroy 1,110,000,000 men (that is, one billion, one hundred ten million men) — and that’s just the combined power in one legion of angels! Vampires Kiss features a family of bounty hunters under the business name Pandora's Box. In this fantasy, there are gods, angels, witches, vampires, werewolves and humans. A humans are born with an some type of magical affinity but they are able to become angels if they go through this legion academy and reach level 9. For context, most people die at level 1.a legion, a body of soldiers whose number differed at different times, and in the time of Augustus seems to have consisted of 6826 men (i.e. 6100 foot soldiers, and 726 horsemen)" In IChronicles 27:1–15, David assembled twelve “courses” (i.e., legions) of fighting men to protect him at all times. Each of those “legions” would serve him one month out of the year when the nation was at peace, but presumably all would have reported for duty in time of war. Since each contained 24,000 warriors, they combined to form an immense personal army of bodyguards numbering 288,000. Leda Pierce is working as a paranormal bounty hunter on the Frontier, the dividing line between human civilization and the plains of monsters. Life is simple and the pay modest, but at least she has her family. That is, until a vampire hunt goes wrong and her brother goes missing, captured by the dark angels of hell. If you are going through a difficult time, ask the Father to send angelic assistance. You have that authority, resting in Jesus who now sits at the right hand of the Father. Reflecting on Jesus’ Restraint Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he will presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
