Fuck, did I cry. 

But I loved it! Such an epic conclusion to a killer series. Perfect!

I liked this. I really did. However, it unfortunately did not blow me away.
You don’t even want to know how excited I was for this book, so I am a little disappointed that I didn’t love it as much as I could have.

Lazarus and Alastair had so much potential and, although I enjoyed their relationship, they did not fully live up to what they could have been. I felt like too much focus was put on the general plot-line (or even on the other brothers and their mates) instead of on these two’s blossoming love story. The scattered and broad focus of the story took away from the depth and intensity of the romance, which was a shame.
Nonetheless, the scenes we did get between Laz and Al were pretty good. I loved the forbidden love and pining aspect of their story, and I definitely wish we had seen more of it. This could have been so angsty and all-consuming, but it did not end up being like that. It all was a little bit too… easy.
All in all, I definitely preferred the first half of the book over the second when it came to these two. When they got together in the middle of the book they lost most of the tension between them and it became a bit more boring. I would have loved their relationship to remain more interesting, but alas.

“You honestly believe I could move on from you now?” I rolled on top of him and grabbed his chin. “Such a silly, beautiful boy. Whether we’re fully bound as mates together or not, there will never be anyone else for me. My soul will always cry out for yours.” I rested my head on his. “My heart will too.”


With this book we also get the final resolution of the war against Lucifer, and I thought that part was done well. It was quite heartbreaking and I adored seeing the intense bond the brothers have with each other as well as the bond they have with each of their mates. I was rooting for them so hard, and I felt very happy to see them all win their hard-fought happy ending in the end.

Although none of these books (with the exception of Daman and Warrin’s story) blew me away on their own, I really enjoyed this series as a whole.
The author said she was going to write more books in this universe and I am most definitely planning on reading those as well! After all, I have really grown attached to all these characters and this world they live in.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Alastair & Lazarus

✅️ Paranormal Romance
✅️ Nephilim/Angel

It was a good final for the series... Alastair deserved happiness.. 
Me gustó el libro pero no le doy 5⭐️... Hubo pequeñas cositas que no me cuadraban... Y no perdono a Jaclyn por olvidarse mencionar Galen en la boda de Alastair cuando los hermanos entran. Se suponen que Galen era para Alastair como Bellamy para Daman y sin embargo en ese libro poco se ve esa relación... Además del hecho de que en el medio de una batalla están todos hablando, despidiendose... Enserio?? 🤣
Pese a todo esa serie me enganchó tanto que creo que me costará pasar pagina.... 

Mi ranking de los hermanos favoritos:

Raiden
Castor
Bellamy
Galen
Alastair
Gray
Kallias
Daman

Raking de parejas:

Warrin y Daman
Phoenix y Bellamy
Castor y Kyo
Galen y Simon
Alastair y Lazarus
Raiden y Titan
Gray y Mason
Kallias y Elasus

 This was an absolutely phenomenal end to the series. I definitely cried the last 15%. Lazarus deserves 0 slander I loved him so much, and Alastair was a perfect boy. This was very plot driven but seeing all the brothers with their mates made me so happy, and now Alastair is also happy and that makes me happy. Everything wrapped up beautifully, not in the way I expected, but perfect nonetheless. The way the author writes the sins as sentient beings is also really interesting and I loved seeing how each brother explored that relationship when their mate was found. Cannot recommend this series enough!
