This was a really good multilayered plot, the romance, action and suspense along with a couple of subplots made this a very enjoyable reading experience.

Wren and Ginger made a good couple and the romance added some depth to the story that would have made this pretty much urban fantasy without it.

Some pretty awful things have happened in the past and a few more happen in this story but there is a bit of redeeming in all this but you have to read it to get it all. There is a seemingly loyal Guardian that has become a traitor for no apparent reason, a missing/dead father and then add in a few unknowns about Ginger heritage and you have a great story.

A couple of things a perceptive reader can see coming in general terms but it really did not lessen my enjoyment of the story and there are a couple of heartwarming scenes to go with all the stress and evil to balance this book out and keep it from becoming too dark (which it could easily have done).

While there is justice my inner revenge junkie was not totally happy with some things but overall the conclusion/resolutions to most things were done well (I may be a bit more bloodthirsty than the author so she probably did it better).

Highly recommended, great romance, great action, amazingly myriad plot and a good ending with a thread left open to drag you into the next book without a cliffhanger all add up to a 4.5 Star rounded to 5.

Out in Blue Return to Sanctuary #1 Sarah Gilman 9781937044275 Books Reviews

A new take on archangels and demons. OUT IN BLUE blew me away. At least the story did and the characters however, some of the dialogue I felt was a bit weak and lacking, only in the `love' scenes, though. It just seemed...well, it wasn't believable. Cheesy, in fact. It was only two scenes that really bothered me...that I didn't find sexy. I actually found myself awkwardly chuckling. If they were teenagers maybe it would've passed but they're not, they're adults. BUT that being said, that is my only negative thing I have to say about this book.

The story is told from both Wren, a half human/half archangel - son of archangel Raphael and Ginger, orphaned human girl who was raised by a Guardian demon, Devin. Ginger does an amazing thing, especially for a human, she warns Wren about the poachers inside his home who have come to kill him and steal his feathers. Archangel feathers are worth lots of money and obviously, many people are greedy and only care about their wealth. Sick people. She saved his life and now it seems their future will be intertwined.

Wren finds out that his father is, in fact, still alive after 18 years of thinking him dead. He's been held captive, tortured and stripped of his wings every six months. A horrible, unthinkable pain for an archangel, one which Raphael has to endure twice a year. Ginger, see's something that no one else can see, a demon spirit, who has lead her to finding out the whereabouts of Wren's father. Things take a crazy turn, actually a few surprises are thrown our way especially the lineage of Ginger, who always thought she was born from two, normal human parents but she could possibly be much more than anyone thought.

Now, when I said I didn't like these `love' scenes or found them cheesy I do have to say that I do LOVE Wren and Ginger together. They are perfect for each other and they work well together but some of their more intimate scenes together just didn't flow.

This book is fast paced and has you guessing what's to come. Not to mention, the Epilogue is amazing and just has me biting at the bits for what's to come. I can't wait to read more about these amazing archangels and demons but I only hope some of the dialogue improves. If you are like me and LOVE angels, you'll want to pick up this book. It's different than anything you've read, I can assure you of that. You think angels and you think demons and I can assure you that you're thinking `enemies' but not in this story. Not at all. Pick up a copy and fall in love with this story and these characters like I have.
Out in Blue is a paranormal romance set in a world where archangels, demons, and humans coexist. Archangels are a rare find, have been portrayed as evil, and have been hunted by poachers almost to the point of extinction. The feathers from an archangel are considered precious and bring an extremely high price. The story begins with Ginger overhearing some poachers talk about an archangel, where he is staying, and how they plan to capture him. Ginger is a human who was taken in and raised by a demon after her parents were killed. Unlike most humans, Ginger knows the truth about archangels and how highly valued they are. Her father, Devin, is a Guardian. Guardians are demons that are sworn to, and live to protect archangels. They live in colonies specially designed for just that purpose. Ginger was raised in one of these colonies. After overhearing the poachers plan, Ginger immediately calls her father, who arranges to send help and warns Ginger not to get involved, fearing for her safety. Ginger, more worried about the safety of the archangel than herself, heads to his location to warn him anyway. She arrives before the poachers, but the archangel isn't there. She hides outside waiting for him to return, desperate to warn him that the poachers are already there. When he does return,she screams warning him, and he takes off in flight. Unfortunately, the poachers grab Ginger instead.

Wren can't believe what he is seeing. He's been on his own since he was 15 years old, forsaking the protection of the Guardians after one of them betrayed his family, killing his mother and father. He cannot figure out why this human is helping him, but when he sees her captured by the poachers, he knows they will kill her if he doesn't do something. He swoops down and saves her, telling her to run, but ends up getting shot himself in the process. Ginger knows she just can't leave him, so she sneaks back to the farmhouse where Wren has been loaded in a van. She manages to steal the van with Wren inside and get them to safety. Ginger thinks Wren is the most beautiful thing she has ever seen and is immediately smitten with him. Wren in turn can't understand his attraction to this human and his need to protect her. She takes care of his injury and nurses him back to help, but their reprieve from the poachers is short-lived. Wren finally agrees to accept help from the Guardians, for Ginger's sake, but things get even more intense. They make it back to Sanctuary, but not without injury. In this place of safety, the battle intensifies, and so does the relationship between Wren and Ginger. They learn that the Guardian who killed Wren's parents is holding someone very dear to Wren, but will Wren be able to save this loved one and protect this woman who has become so dear to his heart?

I really enjoyed Out in Blue. I liked Sarah Gilman's take on archangels and demons, which was original and gets even more creative as the story progresses, with twists and turns I didn't see coming. I really like Wren, he was a broken individual who had lost his ability to trust, something that Ginger was helping to heal and restore in him. I liked Ginger a lot also. She was extremely loyal and willing to do anything she could to protect and help Wren, even if that means leaving. They fall hard for each other, and in the midst of the chaos love perseveres and prevails, as more is revealed about who Ginger really is, who is really behind the threats to Wren and the colony, and just what it means to be willing to give your life for the one you love. Out in Blue is a great paranormal romance that is filled with action, danger, mystery, and of course the hot romance. If you enjoy paranormal romance, angels, and demons, then you will appreciate Sarah Gilman's unique twist on archangels and demons, as well as all the interesting elements that are added into the story and revealed as it progresses, making Out in Blue a very interesting and entertaining read.
