The third book in the series and just as riveting and stunning as the first two. I love this series. The books kept me at the edge of my seat, and each book seems to get better than the last.
Mary Ting is an amazingly talented writer, with a boundless imagination, a knack for making characters come alive, and able to strike the right balance between action and story. I highly recommend this series, but have to mention that the books must be read in order for the full effect. Reading this as a stand alone would probably be much less enjoyable.
I'm a huge fan and can't wait to read more from this author.

Mary Ting never disappoints! Eli & Lucia's love is one meant to be and meant to last. Lucia and the crew are doing everything they can to find the page and help Eli. Eli is doing everything he can to help them and fight being under Cyrus's control. Michael makes an appearance in this book to help them out. The love he has for his children is astounding. "The talk" he had with Lucia really touched my heart. Uncle Davin is still full of jokes. There are some new characters introduced that are quite suspicious and in the end, we find out that someone is still alive. This book is full of hurt, love, disappointment, action and a dash of happiness. Definitely worthy of reading.

I received an eARC of this book from Barclay Publicity. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of this review.
Wow!!! Just wow! The Blessed Knights by Mary Ting is the second book of the Angel Knights series and I could not set it down! The last book left us with a massive cliffhanger: Eli in the hands of Cyrus, stabbed with a piece of the true cross. The Blessed Knights picks up a week later in Eli’s POV. That’s right friends, alternate POVs from Lucia to Davin to Eli….LOVED IT!
Like the previous book in the series, Mary Ting has created a fantastical story set around historical/mythological events. It’s a perfect blend that kept me engaged to the last page. Between the riddles and the supernatural characters, this story is truly a MUST read for any fantasy fan. While I’m not a fan of angel/demon fantasy, this story has so much going on with the action, the mythology, even the historical spin on the Knights Templar that I was drawn in and fell in love!
After reading this book, I NEED to read [b:Crossroads|28950475|Crossroads (Crossroads Saga, #1)|Mary Ting|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1454815053s/28950475.jpg|16210495]. While the series is a standalone/spin-off, many of the characters from the original play a big role in this series, specifically Davin and Michael. I love Michael! He’s formidable, a little intimidating and wholly in love with his kids Zach and Lucia. I love him. Lucia continues to battle her emotions, the human side of her in this novel and fight for her love. It’s interesting to see her from other perspectives. She seems cold but then you read chapters from her POV and realize how much she feels and how she locks it down. I empathize with her.
Overall I enjoyed this book! It’s a quick read because once you start it, you can’t stop. I fell in love again with Lucia and Eli, cringed during the fight scenes, and prayed all the characters would make it. If you enjoyed the previous books in the series, enjoy urban fantasy, I highly recommend you pick up a copy. It won’t disappoint!
