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!

3.0

Pretty cliche in almost every way. Super powerful, combat trained, strong woman… who is just oh so clumsy and inexplicably still needs a male body guard, who by the way is super hot, to justify inane reasons to physically touch her all the time. Throw in a not so shocking betrayal, a “if you just talked to each other about your feelings this would be resolved” romantic subplot and a book full of hints to various tragic backstories and you have this mediocre YA modern urban fantasy.

It wasn’t bad, but I’ve heard it all done (better) before.

Did not enjoy nearly as much as her other series.
