**I received this ARC in return for an honest review.**
Forged in Fire is a re-release with a new cover coming February 1st. I had not previously read FIF before receiving the ARC, so I cannot comment on any of the updates. If you would like a bit of a twist on the angels and demons trope, you are in luck because Juliette Cross takes her own spin on this. FMC-Genevieve is a newly awakened Vessel, who has to accept what she knows about angels and demons is only partially true and that she could be used as a weapon for good or evil. MMC-Jude is a demon hunter, who has been tasked to protector and keep her on the side of good. After Genevieve has 'awakened,' she is stalked and attacked by demons at every turn, although with the help of Jude she is able to stay alive. Story does end on a bit of a cliff-hanger with the plot continuing into the next book.
Overall the story is enjoyable, if not a bit predictable with the chosen-one/prophecy fulfilment undertones. The book, for me, was a bit hard to get into and took me until about 65% to get really excited about it. In the end I really liked this book and am considering continuing the series.
