Review by Booklist Review
After what happened in Bloodring (2006), Thorn St. Croix can't hide that she is a neomage, and neighbors who had suspended judgment develop great wariness of her. Given a postapocalytic world that keeps going after the events of Revelation, paranoids are the least of her worries. Under the nearby mountains, a seraph lies imprisoned while her essence is used to create unholy creatures capable of defeating humans and neomages alike. Initially unaware of the seraph's plight, Thorn eventually leads a rescue team to her. More adventure than detective story or romance, and definitely more splattered with gore, Seraphs may disappoint Bloodring enthusiasts. Others, however, may relish its development of Thorn's world.--Murray, Frieda Copyright 2007 Booklist

Review by Library Journal Review
The apocalypse has come and gone, leaving a world changed by the arrival of demons and seraphs and the appearance of neo-mages, born from humans but possessed of magical gifts. Thorn St. Croix attempts to live peacefully in the Appalachian community of Mineral City, among people who both respect and fear her. But a greater threat lies beneath the mountains, where a captured seraph needs deliverance from the minions of hell. Continuing the story begun in Blood-ring, Hunter expands on her darkly alluring vision of a future in which the armies of good and evil wage their eternal struggle in the world of flesh and blood. Strong characters and a compelling story make this a good selection for most libraries. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
