Review "Wicked by Gena Showalter"

Leader of the most powerful army in the heavens, Zacharel has been deemed nearly too dangerous, too ruthless-and if he isn't careful, he'll lose his wings. But this warrior with a heart of ice will not be deterred from his missions, at any cost...until a vulnerable human tempts him with a carnal pleasure he's never known before.

Accused of a crime she did not commit, Annabelle Miller has spent four years in an institution for the criminally insane. Demons track her every move, and their king will stop at nothing to have her. Zacharel is her only hope for survival, but is the brutal angel with a touch as hot as hell her salvation-or her ultimate damnation?

Review:
I had this book on my tbr for a while but I never got around to reading it, until now. It's the 4th pick for mine and Jessica's buddy read. It was looking forward to read this book and it didn't disappoint. 
It started of really strong, and it stayed strong but it didn't get better. It stayed the same, I hope that makes sense. 

What is this book about:
Annabelle's family was targeted by a demon one day and he killed her mother and father. She got the blame for it. The next couple of years she spend in a prison for the mentally insane. 
There she got attacked by demons and she fought to keep herself save, but her being the only one who saw him, didn't help her case. She got drugged and abused almost everyday she lived there. 
One day an angel called Zacharel was send to fight a demon hoard that was in that prison, there he found Annabelle. Every logical part of him said to leave her there. But he couldn't help but feeling drawn to her. Logic be damned, he saved Annabelle from that prison and kept her with him. That wasn't the end of it, the demons kept targeting her. And from the looks of it they weren't giving up any time soon. 
Will Zacharel figure out who is targeting Annabelle and why, and would Annabelle stop asking questions and challenge him? After decades of not feeling anything, Annabelle makes him feel all kinds of things. 
Will he be able to let her go after saving her from the demons or will he want to keep her forever...

What did I like about this book:
I liked the banter between Annabelle and Zacharel. I liked how she kept challenging him. 
I liked that for a change, the guy was the inexperienced one. I liked seeing him experience things for the first time like kissing and sex. 

Sometimes it was a bit hard to follow the story, to figure out what was going on. Not sure if that was because of me and not focusing well enough or the story itself. 

Overall I enjoyed this book but it didn't blow me away. It was fun seeing some characters from the lords of the underworld series.
