This is an overall review for all three books of the series thus far- I'm lazy and don't feel like writing multiple ^.^
This was easily one of- if not the best book I've ever read. All three books of the series are.
Morally grey characters, villains and complex female characters have always been my favs when reading and this book has just about all of them. I have longed and longed for a bad ass female character who was considered "the villain" of the story and boy did Amber Nicole deliver.
Book one ★★★★.25 - although there were some conflict and adventure, was understandably more of an introduction to characters and future plot points. But in no way did it disappoint. Book 2 is where we saw out badass FMC doing her thing. Miss Dianna Martinez you deserve the world.
Book two ★★★★★- yes. yes. yes. All I have to say. Mother was eatingggg.
Book three ★★★★.5- once again amazing. The only things I didn't like however were the multi POVs we got— only because I was more interested in the plot/ action with the main characters but these POVs were detrimental to the story so it's fine. The other thing is that there is a build up to a battle which will occur in Book four so there was alot of downtime with our main couple when they weren't busy saving the world or wateva (I skipped most of it I'm ngl)
I love the dynamic between Dianna and Samkiel. He was portrayed as this all mighty bad ass figure to all the other mythical beings, so when we were finally introduced to him I was a bit shocked to say the least. I feel like this made me underestimate him greatly and when I thought his balls were finally dropping and we've seen the true extent of his power, something else happen and he proved me wrong.
I love that our girl Dianna is this strong ass creature, the extent of her power never seen before- strong enough to rival the gods and she knows it. I was so glad that throughout the series she still made mistakes and she remained impulsive. Love that she didn't automatically become all knowing and the strongest person ever with an incredie grip and control on her magic- it was a gradual process and she still isn't even at her furthest potential.
Villains were villaining. Enemies to lovers were enemising. Banter was amazing. Love the diversity. Plot and world building were easy to follow and understand. Book one smut (what little there were) was great, hated it as I moved to books two and three. I skipped them all. It wasn't necessary and I feel like it wasn't written that well. I usually hate fade to black but I wouldn't have minded if it was.

Te gustará si te gusta....
👍🏻 La fantasía urbana con Angeles (=celestiales), Dioses, Vampiros, no-muertos, y una especie de Demonios cambiaformas llamados ig’morruthen.
👍🏻 Amas una protagonista (Dianna) fuerte, tozuda, con mucho sentido del humor y capaz de destruir el mundo por las personas que quiere.
Un protagonista que es un Dios (Samkiel / Liam), pero con muchos problemas por aceptar quien es, lo que ha hecho y lo que debe hacer.
👍🏻 Los enemies to lovers
📝Reseña (sin spoilers)
Este ha sido mi primer libro viajero en el que participo, como veis, he escrito, marcado y subrayado sin piedad. Ha sido un libro genial para hacer esto ya que tiene mucha acción, plot twist, y muchos momentazos maravillosos que te hacen gritar de emoción.
Tiene doble punto de vista: el de Dianna y el de Liam en primera persona, cosa que me ha gustado porque hace más ágil la narración y simpatizas más rápido con los personajes. aunque los POV de Lian a veces se puedan hacer un poco más lentos porque hay flashbacks de su pasado, son totalmente necesarios.
Entre ellos hay una química brutal, y aunque claramente sabes lo que va a pasar.. son enemigos de verdad y la evolución a “lovers” está muy bien trabajada.
Los primeros capítulos pueden ser un poco caóticos y puede resultar confuso, ya que el worldbuilding no lo introduce poco a poco, sino que te suelta en medio del fregao y la información que te da es a veces incompleta o falsa porque es des del punto de vista de Dianna. Pero a la que entra el POV de Liam, todo queda mucho más claro y ya no hay perdida.
Para mi, un principio de saga muy entretenida, que me ha tenido super enganchada casi des del inicio, y que sin duda, voy a leer la segunda parte, porque.... LO NECESITO.
IMPORTANTE a tener en cuenta: la 2a parte en castellano, saldrá dividida en 2 libros. El segundo libro aun no está anunciado. Perooooooo es que es muy necesario leer la 2a parte después de como acaba el primero, tu ya me entiendes.... jejeje

If this is only the beginning of this series, I am scared for my heart and sanity.
I loved the urban fantasy vibes of this book. The love story between Liam and Dianna is so fucking good I couldn’t get enough.
The only thing I have I say is what the actual fuck, there is absolutely no way. I refuse to believe the ending because no just no.
I refuse to believe that she is dead, there is no way he would
