Download As PDF : When Angels Cry Starfire Angels series eBook Melanie Nilles 
Shartrael Padina is no ordinary Inari. Bound in a symbiosis to the entities of the Starfire crystal, she can access their energy for healing or hurting. That power is sought by the small but growing Shirat Empire seeking control of the homeworld. When the elite Shirukan soldiers attack, her mate is killed protecting her escape through a portal to Earth, where she can hide her wings and blend in with humans.
But Earth is no joyride. After fighting off the Shirukan soldier who follows her, Padina ends up in the hospital. There she meets an immigration worker named Scott Dahlrich, who starts the process for her and her unborn child to become citizens of the U.S., unaware that they truly are aliens. Life is difficult on the primitive world, but in time, Scott’s kindness eases the pain of losing her mate. Fighting the Shirukan determined to fulfill his mission to capture her and the Starfire is another matter; one in which she must weigh her duty to the Starfire against Scott’s love.
When Angels Cry Starfire Angels series eBook Melanie Nilles
Shartrael Padina is an angel, and if that wasn't special enough, she's also one of four keepers of the Starfire crystals.If that doesn't mean anything to you, welcome to my club. I went into this story with a very limited idea on what angels are, why they'd end up on Earth and I had absolutely no idea what this Starfire crystal was and what it was used for.
This wasn't really an issue though, because Melanie provides plenty of story with background and information thrown in for the reader. The down side to having to provide so much background is that the story slows dramatically. Which, happily, Melanie counteracted by speeding up the plot. The opening chapters were filled with lots of action.
This is both a good and bad thing. It helped to move the story along when you're being given a lot of information, but it also brushed across some pretty serious scenes with minimal impact because of how quickly it occurred. The first chapters see Padina's mate murdered, we find out she's pregnant but she hadn't told her mate, we're introduced to the Shirukan too, but it's all too quick.
Padina is understandably sad that her mate dies, and while there's scenes of her grieving, things in the romance department happen very quickly once she's on Earth. It's over the span of weeks, which is a refreshing timeframe given some of the romance books out there, but still. Weeks after your paired mate dies you fall in love again?! Seems a bit convenient to me.
The pace of the romance aside, the rest of the story is quite well thought out. The alternating POV chapters from the Shirukan add a welcome break from the ho-hum lifestyle of Padina while she's on Earth.
The main reason this only got 3 out of 5 is because there was a lot, and I mean a LOT, of repetition in the story. We're told two or three times in a couple of paragraphs that the house is locked and the trailer is packed. We're told a couple of times in two pages that she put the feathers in the bin. The repetition is not needed. It is annoying and makes the reader feel like the author thinks they're stupid and can't pick up on important points.
An edit would help this book, mostly to curb the repetition and superfluous words. However, I did notice one thing:
16% - track receptacles (should be trash)
This is a brief glimpse into a paranormal world that is new to me, it's easy enough to read and mostly reads well. If you like reading about angels, action and barely contained lust, try this one today, you might love it and fall into the series with gusto.

When Angels Cry Starfire Angels series eBook Melanie Nilles Reviews
I love the Dark Angel books. They are fascinating and enthralling making it hard to put down when I have things to get done! I thoroughly enjoyable read.
What an awesome read. Couldn't put this down. I have read book 1 and 2 getting ready to read book 3 and 4 so now. So glad I read this one. It gives you an insight on how the "angles" came to earth. Give the series a chance,you won't be disappointed!

This was interesting. It is a chance to see Paddy's beginnings on Earth. I wanted to see more. I still had a few questions about Debbie and the nephews. But the love story between an alien to country and world and her social-worker was beautiful.
Now on to Crystal Tomb.
I have been reading this series and even though I am over 50, I am enjoying it very much. Seems to be written for teens and early 20 somethings, but I like this series. Writer has a good imagination over the two worlds and different types of characters. Keeps my interest.
I have now read all of the books in this series, they were all great. However, When Angels Cry left me hanging. I think it would have been much better to have gone past just revealing Padina to Scott and bring in more about Debbie and her family. It just felt like "I killed the bad guy too soon now what?" All of the others were just terrific reads and now I am hanging on until the next in the series comes out in July. When Angels Cry was just not finished well, but I would for sure recommend all of the books in the series with no doubt that almost everyone will enjoy them.
For anyone who has read Starfire Angels or is thinking about it, this novella is about Raea's mother and how she ended up on Earth. (Raea is the main character in the Starfire Angels' book). It begins with a battle and Padina having to escape her homeworld in order to protect the Starfire crytal. In the process, she loses her mate and is followed on Earth by one of the bad guys.
After being attacked by a dog, she is taken to a hospital where Scott Dahlrich takes her under his wing. He helps her adjust to Earth and wonders why he keeps finding feathers in his apartment. (These feathers are a clue to her alien identity, but of course, he doesn't know that.)
What was most intriguing to me was the bad guy and how he pursued her. I liked the element of danger. If there's one thing Melanie Nilles knows how to do, it's make the perfect bad guy.
Of course, in the midst of Padina being pregnant with Raea, hiding from the soldier, and wanting to let her wings out and fly is a romance. And for anyone interested, the formatting is well done. I give When Angels Cry two thumbs up!
