An exciting story with plenty of plot twists and action. Personally I find Victorian era British people to be a bit boring no matter what circumstances so that’s the only reason it’s not 5 stars.

The beginning was riveting. The rest of the book was great as well, but I felt that the ending was too big a cliff-hanger (a little anticlimactic).
There's too much suspense around and not enough information around Will's character. It draws you in, but without enough explanation, you can get frustrated.
 

That said, some readers might be disturbed by the demonic elements, and the fact that the Nephilim are descended from angels (even more so that warlocks are part demon). 

It also might be strange for some readers that the Bible is a heavy influence in this book's plot (angels, God, demons, etc), but the book's worldview is a patchwork of beliefs. The characters quote and reference the Bible, even reverently, but it seems that it is just one of many valuable religious texts. 

The story had great potential, but unfortunately, I believe that the second went too far. You may not want to read this book if you are uncomfortable with the content in the second.

First read: August 22nd 2021 to August 26th 2021, 4 stars.
Second read: January 1st 2023 to January 2nd 2023, 5 stars. I loved everything about this book that I did not on my first time around, although even back then not much wasn’t to my taste. Great book, and great start to a series.
