The Book of Azrael by Amber V. Nicole
5.0
10/10 if I could I would rate it this way. This book is so underrated but it’s AMAZING. READ IT.
Dianna is a character after my heart; the way she protects her sister is a exactly how I would feel. She’s a complex character that encases herself in a villain identity to survive and she’s done it for a millennium already.
Throw in a broody PTSD god who learned the consequences of his actions in the worst way possible and you’ve got such a dynamic pair.
He’s a cinnamon roll and she’s a fire cracker and together they really step out of the romantic ideals you expect when dealing with gods and monsters and give us a realistic idea of the weight of responsibility on the shoulders of the powerful. How it messes you up, and how you don’t always come back from it haply and cheerful. The connection between the two starts as enemies to friends to almost lovers but not because crazy shit happens.
And I love that cuz it’s pretty realistic.
I ate up this book, even tho the spice level is low, my heart is obsessed with the story. Highly recommend if you like SJM, especially Throne of Glass.
