Despite this book being over 600 pages, it doesn't read like that at all and I found myself finishing this one pretty quickly. Uriel and Sarah are so good together and I love the kitty Meredith. I think the concept of this novel, ER trauma surgeon plus a fallen archangel trying to stop a shadow-plague from spreading set in Chicago is fantastic and I thought the characters were well done. I am definitely interested in seeing how the next book plays out and I am excited to learn more about Raziel & Luna in book 2!

This book could have been great unfortunately the author gets so caught up in descriptions and the constant repetition of descriptions that she repeatedly loses track of the books timelines, character backstories and chain of events. While it was nice to read a story that had an adult FMC and an MMC that learned to stop being the possessive Alpha with the touch her and die attitude and actually worked toward being her partner and accepting her as her equal the lack of cohesion throughout the book makes it difficult to follow along. Told from a dual POV, it's hard This happens with dialogue as well usually when there a multiple side characters in a scene. As far as the side characters, there a quite a few from different paranormal backgrounds but the author doesn't really introduce them properly or let you know what they are and just throws them at you as a bunch of names which makes it difficult to remember or care about them. Several plot points are brought up, focused on then just forgotten about. Overall this book was hard to see through to the end, the endless repetitive use of descriptions, especially what things smelled like, almost made me DNF this book several times. This book is a first in a series but I won't be following up. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
