Overview:
Violet Eden is dreading her seventeenth birthday dinner. After all, it’s hard to get too excited about the day that marks the anniversary of your mother’s death. The one bright spot is that Lincoln will be there. Sexy, mature and aloof, he is Violet’s idea of perfection. But why does he seem so reluctant to be anything more than a friend?
After he gives her the world’s most incredible kiss – and then abandons her on her front doorstep – Violet is determined to get some answers. But nothing could have prepared her for Lincoln’s explanation: he is Grigori – part angel and part human – and Violet is his eternal partner.
Without warning, Violet’s world is turned upside down. She never believed in God, let alone angels. But there’s no denying the strange changes in her body … and her feelings for Lincoln. Suddenly, she can’t stand to be around him. Luckily, Phoenix, an exiled angel, has come into her life. He’s intense and enigmatic, but at least he never lied to her.
As Violet gets caught up in an ancient battle between dark and light, she must choose her path. The wrong choice could cost not only her life, but her eternity.
My Review:
4 Stars
Okay, that was kinda awesome people. Before even writing this review, I placed orders for the next two books in this series. Yes, that's how much I liked it!
It's definitely not your usual fallen angel story, which is definitely a plus for me seeing as how I normally loathe those kinds of books. This book was a bit darker than some, but in all the right ways.
The characters make this book gold. They are complex and flawed and are beautifully damaged in one way or another. I absolutely loved Violet! Such a nice change to see an actual kick butt fierce main character. I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I'm totally all for Phoenix. I have a bad boy complex, so sue me.
The writing flows with ease and the author paints us a beautiful, fun story that has me very eager for more.
