My next guest is the very talented…
Cynthia Eden!
Cynthia Eden is a national best-selling author of paranormal romance and romantic suspense novels. Her books have received starred reviews from Publishers Weekly, and her novel, DEADLY FEAR, was named a RITA® finalist for best romantic suspense.
Cynthia is a southern girl who loves horror movies, chocolate, and happy endings. She has always wanted to write (don’t most authors say that?), and particularly enjoys creating stories about monsters-vampires, werewolves, and even the real-life monsters who populate her romantic suspense stories.
Cynthia’s upcoming release is ANGEL BETRAYED, book two in The Fallen series, coming June 26, 2012:
A Little Bit of Angel Lust…
Sammael–call him Sam–was an angel once. An Angel of Death. But the dispassionate, watch-from-above thing just wasn’t working for him when it meant watching evil torture innocent souls day in and day out. It might have cost him his wings, but these days he gets to apply the direct method on the bad guys. Problem is, what’s making his life difficult is a bad girl…
Seline O’Shaw needs protection, and with the hounds of hell on her tail, she’s not going to quibble too hard about where she gets it. Sam’s virtue is questionable, but he’s smoking hot, massively powerful, and owes her a favor. So what if she’s getting a little case of angel lust? There are some damn deadly sins after her hide…
“Cynthia Eden’s Angel of Darkness is the perfect blend of red-hot sex and supernatural suspense driven by a rockin’ plot. Pick up Ms. Eden’s book today and be just like me—waiting in breathless anticipation for another story in her highly innovative Other universe.”–Victoria of TwoLips Reviews on Angel of Darkness, Book 1 in The Fallen series

Happy release day, Elisabeth!! 🙂 Can’t wait to read this one!!
And, Yadira, wouldn’t it be awesome to fly with those wings?
April 3rd, 2012 at 5:45 pm · Link
The best would be being able to fly with the awesome wings.
The worst would be that they are suppose to watch and not interfere.

What would be the best thing about being an angel? Beautiful gorgeous wings
The worst? Lack of emotions. Their coldness. Though they would have to be very careful of their wings.
April 3rd, 2012 at 5:48 pm · Link
Well, it all depends on which world you go by.
In Cynthia’s world, the worst, I think, would be that to touch another would mean death to them. The best part would have to be the ability to heal or not really be harmed by much.
I can’t wait to read Sam’s story!
April 3rd, 2012 at 5:56 pm · Link
I agree with Tina..it depends on who’s angels we’re talking about.
In general…the best would be to fly..the worst..having to play by the rules,not breaking them. (I become a fallen angel because of that..lol)
April 3rd, 2012 at 5:56 pm · Link
The best and worst would be the immortality.
April 3rd, 2012 at 5:57 pm · Link
Best thing would Def be the beautiful wings! The worst thing, I’m not really sure, probably that they aren’t supposed to have feelings.
April 3rd, 2012 at 5:58 pm · Link
I do agree the best thing would be the wings. The worst thing would probably be having to always be on your best behavior.
April 3rd, 2012 at 6:05 pm · Link
best thing looking after those you love and those who need someone to watch after them.
bad thing not being able to touch the ones you love
April 3rd, 2012 at 6:17 pm · Link
Vanessa, I’ve always wanted to fly like an angel. It would sure beat flying on a plane!
Raonaid, I bet those wings slam into things all the time!
April 3rd, 2012 at 6:18 pm · Link
Thank you, Tina! 😉 I had so much fun with Sam.
Elaing, I bet I’d become a fallen for that same reason!
April 3rd, 2012 at 6:18 pm · Link
Excellent point, bn100!
Debbie, can you imagine how soft those wings must be? That would be wild.
April 3rd, 2012 at 6:18 pm · Link
Jane, are you a rule breaker?
Lindsey, I think not being able to touch them would just break my heart. ;(
April 3rd, 2012 at 6:19 pm · Link
The best: The beautiful wings that can fly you anywhere.
The worst: Squeezing into a small bathroom with those beautiful wings.
April 3rd, 2012 at 6:23 pm · Link
The wings, the ability to help people. Buy accessories for those gorgeous wings…LOL
I don’t think there would be a downside. 😛
April 3rd, 2012 at 6:23 pm · Link
Being able to fly would be the best part. The worst for me would be the possibility of damaging them. I am the most clumsiest person and I just know I will hurt myself with them.
April 3rd, 2012 at 6:49 pm · Link
Best thing about being an Angel would be the ability to fly and help save peop;e
April 3rd, 2012 at 6:50 pm · Link
I think the best thing about being an angel would be that you can fly (if you have your wings) and worst thing would be that you may be asked to show or let someone feel your wings a lot if you have wings because I know I would ask to see and feel an angel’s wings, lol!
April 3rd, 2012 at 6:51 pm · Link
Having wings and being able to fly would be awesome! Some powers would be great too! Bad things would be, finding clothes to hide said wings depending on how they fold up. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
April 3rd, 2012 at 6:55 pm · Link
the best thing of being an angel we have the capability to help others in need, the bad things would be we have to be perfect in everything:)
April 3rd, 2012 at 7:45 pm · Link
Definitely the wings. Bad side would be wanting to be human.
April 3rd, 2012 at 7:52 pm · Link
Beautiful cover!
Best thing about being an angel… I agree with the others, the wings.
April 3rd, 2012 at 8:08 pm · Link
I think the best thing about being an angel would be the wings, and the worst would be having to be good all the time. 😀
April 3rd, 2012 at 8:16 pm · Link
That’s a hard question dice the world of Angela varies so much from author to author. I guess in general the best would be flying and the worst would be having to abid by so many rules that leave you lonely and hungering for more.
April 3rd, 2012 at 8:22 pm · Link
The ability to save their love ones, literally.
The worst thing is being lonely because there are not as many angels around.
April 3rd, 2012 at 8:38 pm · Link
The best? Immortality
The worst? Watching everyone die
April 3rd, 2012 at 8:41 pm · Link
It seems that the wings are the best part of being an angel…and wouldn’t it be great to have those wings?
There seems to be a lot of diversity in response to the worst part on being an angel. Watching others die? Definitely a bad part. Longing to be human? Totally agree.

Glad you like the cover, Colleen! Thank you!
April 3rd, 2012 at 8:43 pm · Link
Thank you all for taking the time to share the best and worst parts of being an angel. 😉
April 3rd, 2012 at 8:45 pm · Link
Living forever.
Seriously–imagine all the bad things that you would witness through millennia. And, being an angel, you’d probably remember them too *shudder* No, thanks.
*waving to Ms Eden*

Erm.. I meant that would be the worst thing about being an angel.
April 3rd, 2012 at 8:59 pm · Link
the best thing about being an angel would be the wings so you could fly every where. But the worst would be if you were the angel of death and had to take a childs life way to early.
April 3rd, 2012 at 9:00 pm · Link
The best thing would be the wings… the worst I would think it would be the need to stay perfect to keep them.
April 3rd, 2012 at 9:02 pm · Link
the best thing they have wings and i dont have it and they looks so georgeous 🙂
April 3rd, 2012 at 9:23 pm · Link
hum id have to say bestthing be the looks and ability to heal faster worst probablyteh fight with the bad guys
mortalsinn@yahoo.com
April 3rd, 2012 at 10:02 pm · Link
Am I a good Angel or a Dark Angel! lol Flying would be awesome!
April 3rd, 2012 at 10:06 pm · Link
Flying and the other powers available to you. The worst would be the sense of responsibility and knowing that there would be times you would be unable to help those who need it.
April 3rd, 2012 at 11:34 pm · Link
Te best…. being able to help people. Not being ble to help some others.
April 4th, 2012 at 12:02 am · Link
The wings and having the glory of God’s power and beauty would be the best.
The worst would be not really having free will and being able to experience human emotion.

They can fly!!!! And are beautiful, they get to see heaven, they get to be strong, fast, and powerful. Worst? They don’t get to fall in love.
April 4th, 2012 at 3:25 am · Link
Best thing: the wings
Worst thing: due to immortality you see friends die.
April 4th, 2012 at 4:51 am · Link
Best thing about being an angel: cool wings
Worst: ALWAYS being good.
April 4th, 2012 at 5:27 am · Link
I think the wings would be really cool but the extra responsability to watch over others would be a tough burden to carry.
Really looking foward to reading Sams story!
Grr…really fustrated that all my comments from yesterday are now gone!
April 4th, 2012 at 7:08 am · Link
I think the wings are definitely the winning element here! 😉
April 4th, 2012 at 8:51 am · Link
The best : the wings, definitely!
The worse : not being able to have children.
Thanks for the giveaway, Cynthia! Can’t wait to read your book!
April 4th, 2012 at 11:45 am · Link
I can’t remember what I put yesterday so I will put wings with everyone else! 🙂
April 4th, 2012 at 3:03 pm · Link
The best – ability to fly.
The worst – immortality.
April 4th, 2012 at 9:50 pm · Link
Immortality is the best and the worst of being angel. Of course all beings want to live forever but then to see your beloved pass before you and you still have long live its beyond agony.
April 4th, 2012 at 10:55 pm · Link
Yes I agree the best would be the wings! And the worst probably the responsibility, because Angels seem to have the whole hardworking, higher calling thing, while most supernatural creature don’t.
