Title: Out of Sight (A Court of Angels Novel)
Author: Stella Cameron
Genre: Adult Fiction, Paranormal Romance
Publisher: Mira
Publication Date: May 1, 2010
My Rating: 3/5
This is the third novel in the Court of Angels story arc. The storyline was okay, though I had a hard time figuring out who or what exactly the "Embran" were. They never were fully explained, but that could be because they were probably explained more fully in the first book.
I enjoyed the chemistry between Sykes and Poppy, and I liked the secondary characters, however some of the scenes weren't quite believable. Specifically one between Poppy and Sykes. Poppy doesn't argue about something I think she should have raised more questions about.
Other than that, the story was okay, I just had a hard time connecting with it and the characters.
Overall, not a great read for me, but I'm sure fans of Cameron's works will enjoy it.
