4.0

❤️❤️❤️❤️ 4/5 hearts!

Fallen Angel left us a bit on a cliff hanger, and I've been waiting for this book ever since. I honestly didn't think this story could hold up to Cass and Hannah's story. Boy was I wrong. I enjoyed this one so much more. It has the perfect mix of action, mystery, and sweet tender moments.

I wasn't expecting to like Chaz as much as I did. He may have been jerk, but almost all his actions were understandable. He was betrayed, died, and came back to life as a mortal all because of Nyx. Having animosity toward her was no surprise. Chaz already had a hard time hating her, but the longer he was stuck with her the more he learned who she truly was. In the end he was absolutely swoon worthy. I was quite jealous of Nyx.

Nyx was definitely a character that kept surprising me at every turn. I wasn't expecting her to be so strong, loyal, and having such a kind heart. Nyx was trying to protect her family and world in her own way. Her story and history is fascinating, and adds on a whole new layer to the story.

Chaz and Nyx had such a great balance as a couple. She had a fire in her that kept Chaz in line, and he protected her since her knowledge of angel, demons, and nephilim was limited. The series plot line is only getting more intense. I have so many questions that I can't wait to be answered. I can only guess the 3rd book with Rosdan's story will be just as fantastic as the past two.

I received an ARC for a honest review.
