The Fallen
Azriel
Vali's given up hope of finding love thanks to his unfortunate hair and eyes. When an unexpected visitor in his room treats him to delights he never expected, he finds he likes it. Except his midnight guest is a male, and he’s not human. Vali’s definitely straight, but he can't help but wish for the winged being to return.
With barely enough energy, Azriel fled beyond the border of the Fallen realm to escape army duty and his abusive lover. He has no idea how he'll survive on Earth with the savage hunger, and he'll never be able to run away from his past as one of Red's victims. He just needs a few pearls to heal his injuries, but maybe Vali and Azriel can give each other more.

The cover-wow. That deserves like an award or something.
The story-wow. It’s starts out kinda Dubcon so be aware, but I love when both McS can be together without stockholme (I think that's how its spelled?).
This is really best read after the main series, and while reading that, I kinda had Eren's thinking at times:destroy all the angels! Because of what Riley found out, but there were victims unfortunately.
I wanted to hug Azriel and squish him because he was so sweet and the poor thing had been hurt so badly, and then all alone on Earth at first. 🥺
It was tied up nicely, neatly, and without Azriel being suddenly cured, but he had a better life with Vali in their home. He finally got to know what a place of peace was like with someone, and it didn't dwell on the bad stuff at the end.
Vali also accepted himself, and I loved how sweet he was.
Really well done. Perfect pair.
(Sorta spoiler: if you book 3 of the Fallen, you know Red gets it at the end, and that was even more satisfying now because Azriel's abuser deserved death. Our horned angel was avenged).
(Were supposed to get a book about Mot, so I'm guessing the island has something to do with that??)

I was a bit buffled by this book. The writing is simplistic and laced with a simple kind of humor. But also, it deals with heavy issues like child abuse, trauma, etc. The characters are likeable though, and the hurt-comfort is pretty satisfying.

Will update when I actually get to read it.
