This book just wasn't it for me. The synopsis sounded like it would be right up my alley but unfortunately I just didn't enjoy it.
Azrael (nice mystical name) and Vickie (average name that doesn't fit with Azrael) are next door neighbors that fell in love but never tell each other. There is a vague mention of a hook up in college and then jump to years later. His parents have died from COVID. Which in and of itself is a turn off for me. I lived and lost through the pandemic, I don't want to read about it in my fantasy books.
The vast majority of this book is the two main characters pining after each other. It is all extremely repetitive and got boring around 25%. This was a struggle for me.
Might suggest as a cozy read for patrons but it just wasn't my cup of tea.
