I found this book difficult to get in to but I’m glad I gave it a shot because I enjoyed it once I got into it. I didn’t realise this book was part of an existing fictional world and I think I’d have found the world building less rushed if I’d started with the earlier series first. I appreciated the main character being disabled and both being highly capable but also experiencing difficulties

A warning for those who would benefit from it - this story starts with a sexual assault. There is also a ghost character who spies on people naked, and this behaviour is not treated seriously by the book or other characters

“Crap on a cracker the size of Texas” is an actual thing that’s said out loud in this book. And I still read this in one sitting. 

This is trash, I am trash, I have no regrets.

I loved the own voices rep a lot! People in my life live with visual imparement (their terminology) so it was really cool to see some of that experience tied into a fantasy novel.

The world building was really good! I loved the few little references to Supernatural aswell! Romance and intimacy isn't for me, but the relationships are nice too.

This series is a spin off of another JLA series. I did not read The Dark Elements series before beginning this one. It would probably be better to read that one first, as there are characters from that book here, but it did not take away my enjoyment. 

The book is set primarily in modern day D.C. There are angels and demons working to maintain the balance between good and evil. Although, something is coming, and everyone is worried. There are also Wardens, think gargoyle shifters, who hunt demons in order to protect unsuspecting humans from being hurt or killed. It’s a fun spin on a classic angels/demons world. 

I loved our two main characters. Trinity was immature at times, but overall she was tough and independent and loyal to her clan. Zayne is amazing. He was featured heavily in The Dark Elements series, and this series was his time to shine and get his happy ending. I really loved getting to know him and seeing his growth. 

Some aspects were a bit predictable, but I really enjoyed everything! There are a ton of Supernatural references, which is fine, but should be noted!
