Synopsis: Michael Lieberman has lost it all. He walked away from his job to save the world, his new relationship is already on the rocks, and the long-lost sister he just found has already ran off and lost herself again. But a plea for help leads him down a path where his old skills might be able to forge a new life.
Sara Wilson would love for Michael to stop looking back at the past and look forward to the future they had planned together. But when he doesn’t follow up with their private investigator plans, she remains trapped in a job she increasingly hates. Consumed by the knowledge of what lurks beyond the Veil, and unable to rely on Michael, Sara makes a dangerous bargain for the power to protect herself.

“Your wrath will consume you, Michael Lieberman, and when it does, there will be nothing left but my power. All that you have, were, or could be, shall join the army that is my might. You are mine, boy. You have already lost this fight.”
This sequel lives up to and exceeds every expectation I had for it, and I only wish I could hand this book to every single reader who loves paranormal thrillers. The author perfectly blends elements from mystery, urban fantasy, and thriller into this fascinating story, creating a dark and gritty tale that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.
The story centers around Michael, a former special agent with a secret, finds himself on a search for answers, navigating a world where supernatural exist while new threats and enemies appear.
The great character development in "The Book of Sathanas" is one of its biggest strengths. We get to know Michael, a complex character, blending his angelic origins, the determination to uncover the truth behind his sister's actions and the hidden forces, all while dealing with the different internal conflicts that will arise in this sequel. The supernatural elements are well-balanced by solid grounding in Michael's day to day life.
The story blends together different plotlines and perspectives, Michael's constant pursuit of the truth, Sara's transformation and new abilities and the unfolding conflicts in his world. The dynamic between them was something that I really liked, and how in the end they were able to have better communication. Also, we are really able to connect with Sara on another level in this book, especially everything that she goes through.
This exactly what I have been looking for, it has an original plot, interesting characters. As the narrative unfolds, we are introduced to a fast-paced urban fantasy world teeming with action, demons, and intrigue. The action scenes are very well described, with a mix of adrenaline and palpable tension. Whether it's Michael battling supernatural threats or navigating the treacherous dynamics of rival gangs, the author's skill shines through. His descriptions paint a portrayal of New York City's streets and atmosphere, effortlessly blending the supernatural elements with the gritty urban environment.
Overall, I highly recommend this book, it had all the right elements. Is a remarkable addition to the urban fantasy genre. An outstanding sequel. After that epilogue, I will be looking forward to the release of the next part in the series.

Great addition to the series!
"The Book of Sathanas," is the the second installment in the ARCHANGEL series and once again, I’m amazed. The author, Black Mike skillfully crafts a story that dives into the complexities of the supernatural world while exploring the evolving relationships among the characters.
Throughout the book, the characters' struggles and challenges take center stage. Michael, who is a half-angel struggles with his identity and abilities. He’s is drawn into a web of gang conflicts and archdemon influences. His journey showcases his resourcefulness and determination. Sara goes through her own transformation, gaining powers. Her choices to seek power and protection in Goblin Market add depth to her character as she struggles with difficult decisions. The interactions between Michael and Sara are the highlights of the story, with their relationship evolving amidst their shared battles and personal dilemmas. The chemistry between them is great, and their disagreements and vulnerabilities make their connection all the more authentic.
The descriptions are vivid which makes easily to visulize settings. The world-building is very creative and well-developed with various beings like spirits, demons, feys, and archangels. The action scenes are another strong suit of the book. From intense battles with demons to strategic negotiations with gang members, the book kept me engaged with its fast-paced and dynamic scenes. The concept of "seeds of evil" and the potential transformation of mortals into demons offer intriguing insights into the gray areas between these two worlds.
Overall, this is a great addition to the ARCHANGEL series, skillfully continuing the journey Michael and Sarah in a world where the lines between good and evil blur. Highly Recommended!

I love this series so much. I had been looking forward to reading the 2nd installment and Black Mike did not disappoint. He crafts a sticky web of suspense and supernatural drama in this second book of the Archangel Fantasy Thriller Series. We see our main characters struggle with real-life battles as well as those of a supernatural nature. It's a perfect blend of dark urban fantasy and adrenaline-pumping action that I love so much from this author. Stayed up late reading it. I had to know what happens next!
