She was found as an orphan, taken into a hunter society where she quickly rose to the top hunting demons. Until she quit. The organization that raised her was understandably upset and disappointed, but Ana had bigger issues. She had discovered she was the Red Angel, a reincarnated version of a weapon designed to suck the souls of basically anything- angel, human, or demon. Now, that closely guarded secret could be out in the open putting more than just her at risk. If Ana has any hope of shutting Pandora's Box she has to team up with an angel who once reviled her. And it's not exactly easy, basically everyone is after the same secrets as her and everyone is willing to step on her to do so. 

I didn't mind the plot that much. I thought that the whole idea of it was cool, albeit kind of confusing to imagine with the multiple pairs of wings and the souls carved into the wings and everything. I also wasn't much on board for the forced chemistry between Zel and Ana, he felt a bit outside of the normal conventions of these types of relationships because he was just so tuned out. I think he has potential but he needs to get on board with the humans. 

So yeah, it was pretty decent and I would read the next. Aside from a few hiccups in the plot progression I think it all felt pretty natural.
