Good quick read

I liked the first book of thus series. A few twists and turns in the plot kept it moving. Definitely going to continue with the series.

Reread this before picking up the sequel and I enjoyed it even more than the first time around.

In a world where angels and demons walk hidden among humans, and both species are in a tenuous peace, a half angel and half succubus woman can mean the beginning of a new war.

Olivia's brother mysteriously dissappeared at the end of his firts year at Seraphim Academy (an academy all angels must attend), the investigation of his case has gone cold and Liv takes matter into her own hands, she will find her missing brother.

The problem? She needs to enroll in the academy, and no one can know the truth about who she really is and her other dark half.

How will she manage to feed her succubus side while keeping her secrets hidden?

Olivia is a strong character, possessing abilities from both sides, the angels, and the demons. She will not let anyone walk over her, and she will get the answers she seeks.

The three princes from the Seraphim Academy are all sons of Archangels, and they rule the academy. Callan is strict and with a bad history with demons; Marcus is the womanizer and carefree guy; while Bastian is the disciplined and rational one. Let's not forget the new Professor, Kassiel, who Olivia happens to have a past with.

All of them will test Olivia's succubus side. How long can she hide her hunger for them?

I expect more spice and explicit scenes, other than that it was a nice reading.

I feel like I have so many questions....

Wicked Wings was a pretty good start to the Seraphim Academy Series. In it, you will meet Olivia who is half angel and half demon. So basically she's an impossible child because angels and demons are forbidden to be together. Since she's alive and kicking, she is out to find one person: her brother Jonah.

Somehow he has gone missing and apparently no one knows where he is or what actually happened. Yet, she has hypothetically guessed where he could be: the faeries. Throughout the book you start to realize that other people actually know where he is. Meaning his girlfriend and his so called best friends know exactly where he is and why he was there.

Honestly, I was a bit mad that no one has done anything to find him. They all know where he is and have just sat pretty doing absolutely nothing. I mean, Olivia always thought he was there but never knew why. Now that she does know I'm wondering what the heck is going to happen next. I'm hoping he's still alive and she can rescue him. Mostly because everyone else is basically useless in my eyes right now.

Other than that, I really want to know more about her mom and if she's really alive or not. I also want to know more about the order and the fallen angel. So yeah, lots of questions need answers.
