Netgalley recommended this to me, and since the title mentioned donuts, I was in. However, I had a problem right from the outset since I hadn't read the first in the series and had no idea what was going on. This is a very weird story, and clearly all the world-building took place in the first book because no time is spent here explaining what has already occurred. I no doubt would have liked it more if I'd been reading the series in order, but I'm not intrigued enough to want to go back and find book 1. Not for me.

If I was weirded out in the first book, I feel the same thing in this second installment. The only difference was that I know what to expect already. I am more prepared for what is in store than the last time but I still got mixed-up with a lot of names and entities to follow. I can’t remember which is which and just give up trying after failing to recall what entity the name is connected to. But this one is easier to follow plot-wise than the first one. That is if you read the first book, then you’ll get the gist of what’s up with the story and it won’t be too confusing.
In this installment, we get to know a lot more about Kelly and the single-purpose angels on her care. We get to follow Af’s story, who’s charming in his cluelessness when it comes to women and relationship, and so are the other fallen angels and their obsession to get out of Amenity Tower. They are fun, as usual. Add the Gorgon sisters, and it is a complete riot. The wit and humor present in the first continued on this one that reading this quirky story is such a breeze.
So, yeah, overall, it is equally entertaining as the first book, with a clearer plot and much more developed characters. A quirky series for urban fantasy lovers that are open to embracing the weirdness and craziness that it’ll offer.
