I was raised in northern New York state on a farm. At 18 years-old I enlisted in the Marine Corps and spent my first 4 years in Japan working as a radio operator. I then became a bomb disposal technician (we call it explosive ordnance disposal) and returned to the U.S. to be stationed out of California. I did 2 combat tours to Iraq then left the Marine Corps to pursue higher education. I currently reside in Los Angeles and anticipate graduating with a doctorate in psychology in the fall of 2017. In my free time I enjoy running, playing with my dogs, and reading.

I’m a bit biased towards this book. I’ve mentioned a few times in the past how I’m a fan of the whole good vs. evil battles in the shadows, while most people are unaware. Person of Interest, Supernatural, The Vampire Huntress Legend Series, etc. This has been my bread and butter for over a decade.

I like the good vs. evil battle in this story, but it really does feel secondary to the character development. It really focuses most of its time on introducing these people and making you care about them. I want to read more books from this series just so I can follow these characters.

It has forbidden romance (not the creepy kinds), the connection between the characters feels genuine. It’s not all sunshine and roses. It’s hard to describe just how well the characters are done. They have genuine thoughts and emotions, they recall events from the past that they still feel guilty about. They have hopes and dreams, worries and fears. Despite not being human, they’re all far more human than most characters in most novels.

I’m throwing this in at the end. The sex scenes are nothing to write home about. You could even say they’re entirely forgettable.

The narrator offered little value to the book. He reads one sentence at a time. To clarify, there’s a short pause after every single sentence. It makes the lines sound awkward and janky, dialogue doesn’t flow naturally. He mispronounces crayon as “cran” and if you’ve read any of my reviews, you know I can’t stand people who can’t pronounce basic words properly. The way he reads dialogue is bad enough; he also doesn’t add any character or emotion to the lines. They all sound dull and lifeless. He doesn’t put any effort into them, he just reads them all in the same voice, making it difficult to tell which character is talking at times. Hell, sometimes it’s difficult to tell what’s an inner monologue and what’s actual dialogue because it all sounds exactly the same.

Archangels and Demons - that's one of my favorite reading combos - throw in some spicy bits and it was perfect for lying out back on the first hot day of the year. Of course, this is an adult read.

I enjoyed this book - the only thing that threw me for a bit of a loop was Angels swearing. I guess in my mind the two don't necessarily go hand in hand. Of course, there was reasons behind - the whole being cast out of heaven and falling in love with a demon thing.

4.5/5 stars!

I loved this book! Okay, now I got that out of the way, I'll tell you why:

Seriously-the Demon of Sodomy in therapy parts were awesome! They were so well done, they brought a smile to my face-exactly how I would imagine someone trying to help a demon leave evil behind.

That wasn't all I liked, though:

The relationships were strong, realistic and emotional.
There was sizzle and fizzle.
The storyline was well-paced and interesting.

It's official...I am a fan!

OMG Gabriel is so sad - filled with guilt - it gave me all the feels. The whole book did. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one! It's perfect for anyone interested in the affairs of Angels.

My favourite line was Lucifer speaking
"Hell is what you make it."
It's been making me think ever since reading it.
