Charlie Green prays for God to take away her abusive father so she can finally start living her life. But what she gets is far more than she bargained for.
After a string of brutal murders shakes her hometown of Echo Hill—and both her parents mysteriously vanish—Charlie is thrust into a world she never knew existed. Her guide? A fierce, enigmatic Guardian Angel named Michael, who leaves her questioning everything she thought she knew about heaven, hell, and herself.
When Lucifer sets his sights on her soul, Charlie and Michael must fight to survive against the forces of darkness—while resisting a bond that defies the laws of angels and humans and stretches across eternity.

I’m going to look at this book from a fantasy perspective even though it is a romantasy, because I’m fairly indifferent to the romance. It works well as a lighter contrast to some of the heavier elements in the story, but it isn’t the main reason I enjoyed the book.
This is a fast-paced, short read that feels more like a fantasy thriller than a conventional romantasy. The way the plot is structured keeps you turning pages, wanting to see how everything fits together. I couldn’t put it down and finished it in less than 24 hours.
It definitely gives Cassandra Clare Shadowhunters vibes, which immediately worked in its favour.
There is plenty of lore and context to sink your teeth into if you enjoy that side of fantasy, and it’s done in a way that feels accessible and cleverly written. You can follow and understand the plot perfectly well without engaging with every layer, but there’s a lot there for readers who like depth.
I also really appreciated the inclusion of biblical references, which added extra context to the story without ever feeling heavy-handed or overwhelming.
My favourite aspect of the book is how religion is handled. Religious elements are made human and approachable without being disrespected or disregarded. It’s refreshing to see fantasy draw from Christianity in a way that feels thoughtful and intentional.
If you’ve read my reviews before, you’ll know I enjoy a good quote, and while there weren’t many, the ones I highlighted were excellent.
The only downside is having to wait for book two.

What an amazing book. I devoured it in a day. This book sees a return to more traditional fantasy. Charlie is a strong FMC with a troubled past. She hopes that God will answer her prayers but gets more than she bargained for in the guise of her guardian Angel. This book has everything: forbidden love, epic adventure and a girl who will stop and nothing to save those she loves.

From the very first chapter, the story pulls you into a world filled with mystery, destiny, and unfolding secrets. The pacing is strong, keeping you engaged as the prophecy reveals itself piece by piece.
The characters are compelling and well-developed, especially the protagonist, whose journey of self-discovery, strength, and courage is both inspiring and relatable. Horner does a wonderful job weaving themes of identity, trust, and sacrifice throughout the story, adding emotional depth to the action and fantasy elements. The world-building is vivid without being overwhelming, making it easy to become fully immersed.
This book is perfect for fans of prophecy-driven fantasy and stories about hidden power and transformation. I couldn’t put it down and can’t wait to see where the series goes next. Highly recommended.

A thrilling fast paced debut novel that I devoured in just a couple of days. I was recommended this by a friend and glad to have read it.
The modern world setting worked extremely well and I was a little surprised after seeing so many romantasy books being set in Fae courts.
The FMC was strong, independent and kicked butt. I liked the build up of the romance, it wasn't too much and the action was great.
The ending...wow did not see that coming and i cannot wait to read the second one to find out what happens.
A very well written, easy read and a breath of fresh air.

This was the first time I had ever read a Romantasy. Thoroughly enjoyed the book from start to finish. Loved the story and the characters. A quick and easy, intriguing read. Ready for book two!
