Kristina Douglas’s new series
introduces a realm of fallen angels and ruthless demons, where an eternal
rebellion is brewing. The fallen were
exiled to Sheol, doomed
to eternal torment and cursed as blood-eaters for the sin of falling in love
with humans when sent to earth to teach them the ways of life. The fallen are on a quest to find the First. Lucifer, the
Bringer of Light who is entombed in a living darkness, waiting for them . . .
Author’s Summary
Once the Fallen’s fearless ruler, a
grieving Azazel must find the legendary siren meant to take his lost lover’s place
. . . and kill her.
He’s a devil of an
angel.
Azazel should have extinguished the deadly Lilith when he had
the chance. Now, faced with a prophecy that will force him to betray the memory
of his one true love and wed the Demon Queen, he cannot end her life until she
leads him to Lucifer. Finding the First is the Fallen’s only hope for
protecting mankind from Uriel’s destruction, but Azazel knows that ignoring his
simmering desire for the Lilith will be almost as impossible.
She’s an angel of a demon.
Rachel Fitzpatrick wonders how Azazel could confuse her with an evil seductress. She’s
never even been interested in sex! At least not before she set eyes on her
breathtaking captor. And now she can’t think about anything else—besides
escape.
Angels and demons
don’t mix.
Rachel stirs a carnal need in Azazel that he never thought he’d
feel again. Falling for a demon—even if she has no idea she’s the Lilith—means
surrendering his very soul. But if he lets her go, he risks abandoning his
heart, his dangerous lover, and possibly all of humanity, to Uriel’s deadly
wrath.
My Thoughts
In Book
#2, we meet Rachel who is believed to be Lilith – the first wife of Adam who
was banished to lie with demons and kill children. Rachel has no recollection of her past life
or even who she is now for that matter. She
suffers from amnesia and cannot say for certain she is not Lilith reincarnated,
however, she is in doubt. She would
never kill babies and wasn’t aware that demons or angels existed.
Azazel is
a powerful fallen angel who ruled Sheol before the death of his mate Sarah. After 7 years, he still grieves the loss, as
their love was deep and all consuming. Azazel
is hard and cruel even in his treatment of Rachel. He will do anything to find out what she
knows of Lilith and Lucifer and he does everything despite his conscience. There is an attraction from the start between
the two, however it takes a long time to resolve given what the couple has to
work through.
We see
more from Uriel and how incredibly demented he is. God’s will was to banish the Fallen and let
them live out their lives in exile. However, Uriel has his own agenda and plots to
destroy them in the worst ways imaginable.
And he certainly is inventive in his plans.
It feels kinda
strange to root for Lucifer’s team, but in this case, they are certainly the
good guys.
My Viewpoint
This novel is dark, intense and may not be for everyone. There’s not much humor like there was in the
first novel in the series (Raziel). It was
just OK for me. There are a few
unbelievable or inconsistent scenes that make me give it a 3 instead of a 4. However, I still plan to read the warrior angel
Michael’s story since I am interested to hear about the famous warrior’s story.
3 Bad Boys – Was OK. Give it a Go!!!
