I loved this book.
I used it as my bus read. It was easy-to-follow and fun. If I hadn't used it as a bus read, I probably would have been with it much quicker. I was sad each time I had to finish it for the day.
At first, I thought I wouldn't like it. It took me a couple of chapters, and then I quickly fell in-step with the characters and story. It was interesting to see how all the pieces from the beginning came together at the end of the book.
What I liked most about the book...it wasn't coming from one character's point-of-view. You got to experience it on multiple levels through different characters. I didn't expect that when I began the book. I loved the developing relationship between Clair, her friends and family, and her romantic relationships. I had the one guy I wanted her to be with, but didn't hate the other guy along the way.
I think this story-line has many different adventures to go on, and can't wait to see where it's headed.

I won this book through Goodreads Giveaways.
Honestly, I didn't think I would end up liking this book very much. It started out kinda slow, but it was kind of a building up kind of slow. The whole story was kind of like a rollercoaster, with fun and boring normal life to exciting supernatural. I really can't wait until the next book comes out.

I was so torn
I honestly have no idea how this ended up on my TBR. Finishing this book was.... A challenge. It reads like a final DRAFT. I'm convinced that the final draft accidentally got uploaded to Kindle. You can tell the author put a lot of thought into the world I enjoyed the take on good vs evil and I liked the characters. But man was this book hard to finish I almost DNFd it so many times. Going to give the second one a shot in hopes it has actual sentence structure and puntuation....

Loved this book! It was such an easy fun read for me! The characters were great! I loved Clair’s relationship with her friends, family, and her romantic relationships. I just loved it! 💞

This was so fun! It reminded me of like, a CW show because of the drama between some characters and the fact that it’s about angels. This was the perfect palette cleanser for me.

I listened to the audiobook, and I feel like I should have done it at a lower speed because it was a little hard to follow this one. I liked the premise, but the execution fell flat for me.
