This is a good book to read. I really liked the action and the drama. The romance was sweet and believable. I give praise to the writer. I voluntary reviewed this ARC after receiving a free gifted copy.

After a demon attack gone wrong, Michael is infected and must rely on his brother, Gabriel for help. After they are both cast out of Heaven, Gabriel tries to please the lord and takes in three new Angels to train while Michael continues his hunt for demons and run into one that fascinates him—Jahi.

Witty and fast-paced, this story will keep you turning the pages until the very end. Guaranteed to be a favorite for all paranormal romance fans!

Where do I start with this one? I don't normally read romances of this nature. The truth is that I tend to steer clear of books when there are shirtless men on the cover. For years, I couldn't take them seriously. I recently opened up to the possibility of books like that being more than what I previously thought. I am very happy that I have. That being said, I didn't even really take note of the cover of this book until I was almost four chapters in. By then I was hooked.

This book is definitely one that I am happy that I was open to reading. It was fast paced and kept me on the edge of my seat. I had trouble putting it down. It took my idea of angels and altered it greatly. It was interesting reading the author's viewpoint.

Thank you to the author for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. am rating this book Five Stars because it was truly a delight to read. A true struggle between Good and Evil story. I am interested in reading the other books in this series.

 I’m a bit biased towards this book. I’ve mentioned a few times in the past how I’m a fan of the whole good vs. evil battles in the shadows, while most people are unaware. Person of Interest, Supernatural, The Vampire Huntress Legend Series, etc. This has been my bread and butter for over a decade.

I like the good vs. evil battle in this story, but it really does feel secondary to the character development. It really focuses most of its time on introducing these people and making you care about them. I want to read more books from this series just so I can follow these characters.

It has forbidden romance (not the creepy kinds), the connection between the characters feels genuine. It’s not all sunshine and roses. It’s hard to describe just how well the characters are done. They have genuine thoughts and emotions, they recall events from the past that they still feel guilty about. They have hopes and dreams, worries and fears. Despite not being human, they’re all far more human than most characters in most novels.

I’m throwing this in at the end. The sex scenes are nothing to write home about. You could even say they’re entirely forgettable.

The narrator offered little value to the book. He reads one sentence at a time. To clarify, there’s a short pause after every single sentence. It makes the lines sound awkward and janky, dialogue doesn’t flow naturally. He mispronounces crayon as “cran” and if you’ve read any of my reviews, you know I can’t stand people who can’t pronounce basic words properly. The way he reads dialogue is bad enough; he also doesn’t add any character or emotion to the lines. They all sound dull and lifeless. He doesn’t put any effort into them, he just reads them all in the same voice, making it difficult to tell which character is talking at times. Hell, sometimes it’s difficult to tell what’s an inner monologue and what’s actual dialogue because it all sounds exactly the same.

NOTE: This copy was provided to me free of charge as a digital review copy. The opinions stated in this review are mine and mine alone, I was not paid or requested to give this book a certain rating, suggestion, or approval.

I enjoyed this. I was pleasantly surprised at how much. Jahi and Michael were wonderful. I loved the supporting characters like the kids, and Gabriel. I may continue reading this series. This was an arc I received in return for a honest review.

Angels and demons, oh my! And a great plot along with great writing moved this one along so well, I stayed up far too late reading. The author's imagination took this one right up into 5 star territory. Great read.
