I loved everything about this book. It really hit all my favorite tropes. Enemies to lovers, forbidden romance, and angel x demon is my favorite PNR characters. 

And it was well done and well written. Lark really brought the emotion for me with Micah. I was invested in him finding happiness. He is so powerful, commander of Heaven’s elite, but so solitary at the same time. Plagued by intrusive thoughts, feeling screwed over by fate. “That was okay. No one ever wanted me. I was used to it.” 

Nox was the trouble Micah needed. He gave him the space to be himself, to let loose, not be in control, to be taken care of like he takes care of everyone else. 

The storyline of Micah and Nox’s forbidden relationship had me hooked from start to finish. The push/pull, the hate to love, the emotional journey and the politics of angel/demon fated mates and heaven and hell. There were several parts where I wondered, how are they going to get out of this? 

I adored reading how they realize the depth of their feelings for each other, their commitment to fight for each other, for their love. For their right to be together. And the icing on the cake for me was the loyalty that is revealed at the end (IYKYK). It was so heartwarming, it had me cheering. 

I think this may be one of my favorite enemies to lovers books. Cheers!
