Feather by Olivia Wildenstein

4.0

---

God this book kinda ripped my heart out! First off, loved the premise. Angels are real. They have a hierarchy. You go to school to get all your training, and then when you're like 9-12 your wing bones pop and then you can start taking on "sinners" aka humans and work to help them change their ways and their sinner scores, when you do you earn feathers. And you must fill out your wings before a certain time and then ascend to Elysium. There is more hierarchy and jobs but that's the gist. Leigh is a sweet amazing girl who is doing an amazing job but wants to try and finish earning her feathers quickly to be considered as a candidate to become an archangels wife, so she takes on a triple (a sinner with a sinner score of 100). Cue our dark hard broody bad boy. This book is veryyyy reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet. Fated lovers from two different worlds/families with everything stacked against them. I really enjoyed this book. The plot was great, the characters were wonderful, and it was a slow burn with some good spice. This book does not end with what I would consider a happily ever after, but there are more books so things better get answered!!
