The series is a paranormal romance involving fallen angels, with a young woman drawn into a supernatural world through her relationship with a mysterious stranger.

The fallen-angel premise was popular in the early 2010s paranormal romance market, and James’s version focuses on the tension between heavenly duty and earthly desire. The series mixes romantic longing with supernatural action as the heroine learns that her connection to the angel world is deeper than she initially understood. For readers who enjoyed the angel-romance trend, the Stained series offers five books of the genre at its most invested.
