Angels are—well, angels. Yes, there are males and females, but there’s no such thing as a straight or gay angelic creature. We were made to love, and love has no gender. - Sky Heavensent
Lavender Fields starts off a breakneck pace. Sky and Caleb meet and fall instantly. Circumstances force them apart when they met again Caleb no longer remembers Sky. Honestly, that worked for me. For all his angelic gifts Sky is very human, he feels deeply and his clumsy as all get out. He's relatable like that. Caleb has insane eyes. I can't even with those eyes.
I like the angel lore. I've read similar demon lore but not angel lore. It humanises them a bit lowers them from their perfect and holy pedestal. Even if it is quite a simplistic black vs white paradigm but its short so non-arduous world and plot building is fine.
For the love of all things good in this world will authors please use warnings. This book contains torture. Written in first person perspctive ending in the evisceration of a character's identity. To not signpost that in any way shape or form is unforgivable. But for those who read to escape who are survivors of torture or physical violence, this could be triggering and you don't expect it from a book with angels heavily focused on. And problematically torture is more explicit than the physical intimacy (and that is not well written she lacks even a basic understanding of mm sex. But at least it was safe sex. I guess? It was deeply unsatisfying.).
2 stars the fact that I actually enjoyed the book and can see why torture was used saves it from being a one. I don't know what this would have been without the unsignposted torture, it was easy to read with short well-named chapters, but it did remind me of fanfic a bit. Poorly executed romance but interesting characters. I like Sky and Caleb and Caleb's sister (she's adorable and makes me smile), even the baddie is quite good.
