cgrosk's review against another edition
Too slow, at 86 pages in I wasn’t invested. It could be good, but I don’t want to wait.

Angels and demons working together, oh my!
Sort of world ending ideas right here when demons and angels come together, but it's actually far from that.
Living Legend may involve supernatural beings, but it is a world immersed in very contemporary ideas.
Nick and Reese are sentry angels who guide souls to heaven. They also train as warriors since they guard the gate, but they have never had a need to use their actual skills.
Dani and Elise are demons basically the opposite of the angels working in purgatory and you can just imagine what their jobs entail on the flipside.
When Dani is summoned to heaven to help the angels she brings her best friend along and Elise sparing with Nick's bestie, Reese, through the entire book is a lot of great comic relief. Could Nick and Dani have cut through a lot of things without those two going at it constantly, maybe, but there is a reason why someone has a bestie in every book.
For the most part, the storyline was great, but for me personally, the writing was very over-the-top descriptive, which bogs down getting from point A to point B. This is truly my own perspective, since my mind wanders with too much time in between one spoken sentence until the next one. Especially when it's one or two pages in between. Other than that, I liked the variation on angels working together and having the female demon with all the sinful sass.

This story had an interesting premise and a few twists and turns. I liked the characters and will be reading the sequel to see how their story continues.

What we have here is a classic case of angel boy meets demon girl and chaos ensues in the best way!
If you love it when there is a tortured hero who gives in to his most base desires, then go ahead and add this one to the list.
I loved Dani as the main FMC. She is strong and fierce and takes no shit but she's also level-headed and smart in her decision-making (well, to a degree - everyone has a breaking point)! She has also been groomed by the demon queen of sorts to be vicious and ruthless.
Nick is her counterpart, a rule follower, and never one to go against the grain. When they are forced to team up to solve a mysterious case, neither can deny fiery sparks between them.
Elise was my favorite character outside of Nick and Dani. I just love how she tortured everyone around her. Big mood.
Spice on this one is 🌶🌶.5/5 and can't wait to dive into the next book!
