The Demons' Muse #5
The Wrath of Angels
There's nothing more terrifying than a pissed off woman - except the Devil. I'm both.
The angels warned me that I should fear their wrath. Theirs? Please! They have no idea who they're dealing with. Not that I really do either, but I'm quickly figuring out that I'm a whole lot more than just an artist.
Designed by God, created by people, and made possible by the atrocities of the supposed "good guys," I'm here to set things right. To punish those who deserve it, and the archangel Michael is at the top of my list. That guy can't help but piss me off.
I just have a few things to deal with first. You know, like the mess I made of Hell. And no, I don't feel bad about that. They completely deserved it. They also learned their lesson.
The angels honestly think their attitude problem should scare me? Me! I'm God's equal. I'm supposed to be the "bad guy," after all. I'm here to bring down Heaven and unleash chaos on the world.
The Wrath of Angels?
No, there's something much, much worse:
A woman on a mission.
The Wrath of Angels is a full-length novel with NO cliffhanger ending. This is a Reverse Harem series that includes multiple love interests, increasing m/m themes, and graphic scenes of sex, violence, and language. Be warned: everything you thought you knew about the world, religion, and death will be pulled apart, twisted around, and put back together in ways you will not expect.

4 Stars
So this book..... I have mixed feelings about it, I really liked the development of the legion, I really liked the character of God and I loved Uriel and Kacira.

The battle for me lacked drama and feeling I wanted to see a great sacrifice, more fighting, more blood, more tears more everything it was supposed to be the FINAL BATTLE and to me it didn’t feel like that. I wanted to see Sia sacrifice herself for the legion and them crying on their knees for her and then by my some miracle she gets revived or something (I know she is inmortal but she could have been unmade by divinity) so overall the battle just lacked a lot for me. Now why did I gave it 4 stars, well yeah it lacked drama but I liked majority of the book with planning and the fallen ones and the demons and God and all of that.
Also the relationship between them all was really cute, I do believe that their are favorites even though no one says it and I don’t classify this completely as an RH because in my opinion between some of the guys they have more wholesome relationships than what they have with Sia but they are still really cute and the whole legion concept I really like. I also gave it 4 stars because of the epilogue (guys I’ve said it before I’m weak like that) and Jamal and seeing God and I just really liked the epilogue it made me feel fuzzy inside.
So do I feel like this book lacked some stuff sure but did I like and did it make me feel fuzzy inside, absolutely! So yeah read it if you don’t mind less dramatic books, well less dramatic in my opinion of what drama is.

I think what really makes Auryn such an amazing writer is how she ends her series. They wrap up the plot but leave you feeling great about the main characters. Her endings are as perfect as the stories she writes. These characters have become some of my favorites and also one of my favorite harems. It will pull all the feelings from you and leave you feeling in awe of this awesome series. Read it! You won’t be disappointed!

Great ending to the series.
The amount of thought that went into creating this world is mind boggling and impressive. A job well done to Auryn Hadley

TFW Auryn Hadley writes something something "ancient texts" discussing "areas on Earth where impossible creatures were believed to have existed" and "most of the entries were from Europe or the Middle East" because "those had been the most populated areas back then"...
It's strange what will throw you right out of charity with a story, and that line way at the beginning of the book did it for me.
We're ...just going to ignore Africa, origin of humanity? China? South America? ...the entire rest of the world other than "stereotypical white person lands"?
It's honestly fine when authors write immensely white worlds.
I'm not talking skin colors, before anyone tosses that at me. Because in this book at least, people superficially can look like anything at all.
But in general, you can tell when a world or when characters are ...default North American white, because that's the culture, that's the mindset, those are the paradigms and philosophies that are espoused.
And that's fine.
But "this world is really white" doesn't have to be a huge punch in the gut.
Erasing the mythology of entire continents is ...A Thing. Erasing the history of entire cultures...is A Thing that hurts.
It's immensely ironic that at some point Sia muses that "everyone wants their history to matter", while talking about angels and demons and their needs -- while casually erasing the history of so many others.
Aside from that, aside from it being very white, it wasn't bad.
I liked how Auryn fully fleshes out the relationships, each member of the legion with their own relationship with the others.
I enjoyed God's characterization.
I liked how the HEA was almost exactly what I would've special ordered while most things were wrapped up neatly.
Noting here, how it's really interesting when some authors just sort of toss out "speaking human" as a thing when there are a lot of options for "speaking human" out there.
Speaking "human" isn't the same as "speaking English", but the two get conflated enough it's a problem.
It's also some kind of something when good versus evil does end up being angels versus demons, in addition to the tiresome binary.
Sometimes it's ...just an assumption of dichotomies being universal when they aren't, y'know?

Now you Sia, now you don't...
Learning you have unimaginable powers sounds amazing. But learning they're meant to destroy? Not as cool. The title that comes with it could be pretty fun, though: the Devil. The thing that angels fear above all else. Which is kind of ironic, since it was their meddling that created her. So, destruction, huh? Ok. She'll use her fancy powers to make sure Heaven's days of using the rest of the worlds as a food source have ended. And with God beside her and her legion standing behind her, she'll do it. Whether the UAV or Hell will join in, that's the question. Hell may still be a little upset over their timeout. Oops.
Spoilers ahead.
Sia is amazing. From a kicked about foster kid with some unknown addiction problem to the savior by destruction of all the worlds? That's a powerful story. That everything that happened managed to fit in 5 books? A freaking miracle. I think without the bonds already in place, the war already under way, it wouldn't have worked. While I wanted a little more in the way of family bonding with Azreal, Uriel and Kacira, I think the fact that 2 out of 3 of them are basically omnipotent beings with eternal lives means they always hold some part back. And Kacira was already in a maternal role keeping as many of the slaves sane and whole as possible. The full circle made me ecstatic, even down to the crickets chirping. Things were wrapped up but not chopped off. Auryn always gives a beautiful epilogue. And heat. This was no exception. Between things heating up for the final battle between right and wrong, and all the bonds clicking into place with the guys, this wasn't wrapped with a bow- it was a content tangle of feathers and a rainbow of tails. The POV didn't change as much as previous books but it didn't leave the reader lacking anything. Although, how fun would it have been to get some POV from one of the trees?
Thank you, Auryn, for another wonderful escape from reality.

Worth it
This is not an easy book for me to rate. I'll start by saying that I absolutely adore Auryn Hadley's books and even the one I'm not in love with are 10 times better than most other authors books. My problem with this book, and the whole series really, was Sia. I absolutely hated her. I never grew to like her. She started off whiney and insecure and she ended just a little less whiney and insecure. She never really grew much as a character. I would have been able to get past one, maybe two books, of her insecurities but this kept going on for the entire series. She freaks out over something stupid, every single guy reassures her it's fine, she finally accepts that it's okay, and then she moves on to another thing to freak out over. She was just the most frustrating character.
That said, I get why Auryn made her that way. The concept of good and evil as viewed through religion is never an easy one to tackle. The back and forth of learning to let go of societal standards of "good "and embrace "evil" would naturally cause a person grappling with them to be torn. It makes sense and it's very realistic. But that doesn't mean that it's very entertaining. I get it, but I just didn't enjoy it.
The worldbuilding was phenomenal, like it always is in Auryn's books. I loved reading about the different planes and the people on them. If I have one complaint (besides Sia) it's that the ending felt a bit rushed. Which isn't something I'm used to saying about this author's books. There was this huge build up to the final battle, then it all wrapped upon less than three hours.
Bottom line, this is never going to be my favorite Auryn Hadley book series, but I'll still recommend it because she is so talented that it's absolutely worth putting up with Sia to experience this world.

4.5 stars
In terms of scope, action, and sheer sexiness, the final book to the Demons’ Muse series is a riveting capstone to an overall exciting adventure. Sia and the rest of the First Legion wormed their way into my heart. The length of these books, and the use of different points of view chapters, meant that each man and his relationships within the First Legion (even those that did not revolve around Sia) was as fleshed out and engrossing as those of the heroine.
I wasn’t able to put this book down while reading, but that doesn’t mean I was unaware of a few faults. In Hadley’s efforts to make Sia, and her legion mates by extension, uber-powerful enough to withstand anything the angels could throw at them, the conflict lost a bit of tension. When things looked at their worst for a particular character, I knew that he’d get home safe and be good to go shortly after. It was also difficult for me to take a tease of pure doom seriously during the grand finale.
But it’s not a bad thing that this series was so obviously set up for everyone to have a happily ever after. It’s still a romance, after all, and I was happy that the entire First Legion found their groove in this final installment. (Yes, I was also tired of Sia’s constant freak-outs in previous books; there are none here, and it’s a lovely change of pace to see her embrace her confidence and power, in bed and out.)
I highly recommend this series as an excellent first taste for anyone interested in experiencing the “reverse harem” trope. Hadley layers that romance element into a fantastic epic with solid world-building, intriguing characters, and terrifying villains, with happy endings to satisfy any romance or fantasy reader.

The final instalment
So, I decided the book and series require four stars. Trying to justify five stars would not be possible simply because of the repetition and overly angst ridden internal dialogue that plagues all of the books.
No plot spoilers, no potential triggers.
There are numerous sex scenes, M/M/M/M/F included so if you are prudish don't buy the book,but if you are and you do then keep your granny review to yourself since you know what you are letting yourself in for.
The main reason I have given four stars is because there are no grammatical errors or editorial boomers waiting to blow the book up, equally the attention of a good editor would have been beneficial to the storyline. Seriously, the series could have shaved a couple of hundred pages and have been better for it.
If this is the type of reading material you like then you will probably give it a rave review, if it's not your genre you could find it a bit of a slog to read.
I have read the wolf series by the same author and wanted to give her another chance which is why I went for this series, but I honestly believe that twice bitten is enough and I won't be purchasing any more by this author, none of her work is thoroughly engaging and I don't care what genre it is if it's well written I will read the author over and over again, sadly this is not the author for me.

I love the play on good and evil in this series. But some may have a problem with the religious aspects in the series. Now with that out of the way. The first book had some repetitive moments that I could do without. But even with that I enjoyed it a great deal. With the second book things really start to move and you see all the intricate pieces of all the relationships because these men don’t just have a relationship with the female main character but also with each other be that friendship, lovers, heartbreak, broken trust, betrayal it’s all there and has been long before she ever came along. You see the male characters grow into their relationships with themselves and each other weather it’s forgiving themselves and in doing so giving themselves permission to move forward or forgiving one of the others. Admitting the love they feel or have always felt for each other. The religious undertones took a backseat to the relationships for me. But the aspect of privilege and ease of life breeding a lack of compassion and a feeling of superiority. While hardship and loss can breed respect and compassion for your follow creatures is a very real outlook. I could probably write quite a bit more but I’ll stop here. This series has MMF, MF, MM, MMFMMM if that not your thing you have been warned but I hope you give it a try.

Amazing
That's a wrap! What an epic conclusion to this series!
In the final battle between angels and demons, who will win? The preparations are out of control, but what's more unbelievable is that just a few months before, Sia was just a skint uni student trying to understand calculus and failing miserably. To discover a hidden truth beneath the planes of reality was beyond the realm of reason, but our girl felt its truth in her bones...and then to receive news of her actual identity? Amazing and devastating. Everything she was taught about life seems to have been a lie, but what she does with the truth is incredible.
This series was so fun to read. It made my brain wiggle for all the right reasons. It inspired me to question my own belief system and made my imagination run wild. I'd love to be a part of this multiverse. I'm so sad that it's over. I'd love to see what happens to the gang in the future. oh well.
If you like fantasy and paranormal romance, you should check this out. The author weaves myths and creationism together in our modern times to deliver on an epic romance. The steam in this is boiling. So hot, my skin nearly melted. Beyond that, though, is great storytelling. Highly recommend. Love this so much!

I am going, to be honest... I have no idea why I even finished reading this series. In all honesty, I'm not even sure why Sia existed other than the fix the issues. This book didn't feel like a reverse harem. The relationships weren't focused on the FMC which I feel is the purpose of that genre. None of the guys were able to form a real relationship or deep connection with Sia because they were too busy fondling each other. Sia felt like the side piece who just had to fix their sh*t and occasionally got an organism. I think the only one who formed an actual relationship with her was Sam and that's because he didn't f*ck the other guys as often. And don't even get me started on Luke. He is frustrating... and I don't see the point in his relationship with Sia when he is obviously more interested and invested in Ronwe and Nick. I probably would have slapped the sh*t outta him if he tried to f*ck me after leading me on and then constantly rejecting me. This book kinda lost its appeal when Ronwe entered the series not even gonna lie. To me, that's when the reverse harem part of it fell apart and Ronwe became more of the center of the "reverse" harem than Sia.

What. An. Ending!
Honestly, I could not have asked for a more beautifully wrapped up ending to such an epic five-part series. This world of demons and angels and dragons that Auryn has crafted came together exquisitely. As a reader, you get invested in worlds and characters, and you never truly want a series to to be over; however, Auryn has mastered the closing of sagas. You never feel heartbroken when you turn the final page. You don't feel forlorn or like you're somehow missing pages because *surely* that wasn't the end, it couldn't be!
No, it's not like that at all with an author of Auryn's caliber. You close the book and feel a happy hitch in your chest, knowing the characters have a good future ahead of them. You can safely leave them behind because they're off to live their lives without an audience, happily behind the scenes.
I'll forever miss the Demon's Muse gang, and I'm sure I'll visit them frequently. For now, I'm just looking forward to the future and what new books are on the horizon from Auryn.

The final chapter...
I loved the Demon Muse series and this final chapter was worth the wait. Sia and her friends have had enough of the poor treatment dealt out by the so called angels. Sia has grown in her own wisdom and powers and with the aid of new friends and allies is ready to take the fight to them. I thoroughly enjoyed the well thought out struggles that the characters had to work through to obtain their long overdue goal in freeing the slaves and teaching the abusers a lesson in humility. This final book had plenty of action as well with the final battle of good versus evil.
Since this was the final book in the series, I hated to finish this book, but I loved every page that I turned and now the story is complete.
Ms. Hadley has a wonderful way of sharing her stories and continues to give us the most fantastical stories she can imagine. I look forward to her new series but as always will miss her Demon Muse as well as all her other series that she has completed.

I thoroughly enjoyed the well thought out struggles that the characters had to work through to obtain their long overdue goal in freeing the slaves and teaching the abusers a lesson in humility. This final book had plenty of action as well with the final battle of good versus evil.
Since this was the final book in the series, I hated to finish this book, but I loved every page that I turned and now the story is complete.
Ms. Hadley has a wonderful way of sharing her stories and continues to give us the most fantastical stories she can imagine. I look forward to her new series but as always will miss her Demon Muse as well as all her other series that she has completed.

I can’t even begin to describe how much I love this series. Truly. No words.
I’m so sad that it’s actually over. I have a book hangover a mile wide and I have no idea where to go from here. I just don’t think any book I attempt to start reading today or tomorrow will measure up at all.
Sia may have been a bit of a Mary Sue, but she was so emotionally deep that I felt for her every step of the way, even when her feelings made her do seemingly stupid things.
Her legion was amazing. Each of them gave her things she needed and she loved them completely in return. There wasn’t a single one of them that I felt deserved to be with her more than another. And their relationships with one another? Absolute daydream inducing gold *fans self*
God was a beautifully addition to their group. I loved watching her develop and learn from her “children” as well as from Sia.
Michael’s end was glorious in how petty and perfect it was. I got such a sick satisfaction out of that entire scene. Loved every second of it.
Will definitely be adding this series to my library to reread in the future!

Auryn really knows what she is doing when she wraps up a series. She covers all the bases. You got the worry, are we doing the right thing?? Will we win?? The tragic are we going to make it?? The OMG did that just happen moments, the I love you’s in case we don’t make it. I mean she really just squeezes it all in there. She doesn’t miss a thing. There were exquisite stand offs between Bel and Nick! Soft moments between all of the guys. Vehuel puts them all on edge and makes them all (except Ron) question whether she thinks she needs more. I love that Ron of all of them feels the most secure with her. Every moment of the story had meaning and added something to get to that final moment. It was all very thrilling. And when you finally get to all those end battle scenes nothing disappointed. It was all really well done and they had their tragic moments and their victories. It was all very well played and I loved every minute of it.

Amazing series!
I binged this series, only sleeping a few hours at a time. I loved the concept of "good" and "evil," and how it is really up to interpretation. There are always 2 sides to a coin, and you can't have one without the other. They work together to make a whole.
Sia, her Legion, God, the Devil, Angels, and mythological creatures. They all are included in this series. I was blown away at the creativity and thought that went into this series. I'm not the biggest fan of all of the M/M, but it worked here. Lots of plot, love, action, and kept me absolutely hooked!
Start from book one and get swept away in a fictional world that sucks you in from the beginning. I couldn't wait to get back to the books after sleeping, or doing whatever was planned for the day.
Sis and the guys created a new dimension out of the old, and finished what they started in book 1. They came full circle, and she fought a hard battle for freedom.

Oh yeah. The much-anticipated finale of the series. BLEW ME AWAY. I love the innovations here, the solution to the angel issue, the way Sia works to give even the evil people a path to redemption, but never at the expense of the victims. Isn't that what so many of us want? Restorative justice, in a way that can still be kind but also doesn't put victims and marginalized people at risk? The plot is beautiful, the love is vibrant and rich and warm, the sex scenes are hot as fuck (literally), and the whole thing wraps up wondrously. The whole series is on my read and re-read shelves, because when I need to take a break from the endless injustice and misery that is often the world around me, this provides justice and love and hope and a reminder that there are people in the world who dream of better things, just like me.

The book hangover for this series is real. My heart is broken simply because there aren’t any more to read, but simultaneously so full — I couldn’t have imagined a more fitting ending to this incredible story. Every book was better than the last in ways that made me wonder how it could possibly improve, or how I could possibly love the legion any more than I already did. But somehow Auryn Hadley made it happen.
Amazing storytelling & unparalleled character development and world building aside, this series (and especially this last installment) gave me everything I have ever wanted in a romance novel; the absolute trust, the limitless love, the respect, adoration, consent… and of course, the steam! I don’t know how anything else will ever compare.

I struggled with this series a bit. I was so excited to start it after all the positive and racing reviews I had heard. Unfortunately I can’t say I felt the same. I mean I enjoyed the series but I only really enjoyed reading book 1, 4 and 5. I felt like the series was too drawn out at times. There were topics in books 2 and 3 that I found repetitive and kinda annoying. But I enjoyed the story more as things developed. The last book was probably my favorite of all. The characters were more developed. Their legion stronger and deeply connected.
I may have to give this series another try in the future. I either had too expectations that were too high or did not give it enough of a chance after the first book.

Amazing read!!!
Absolutely loved this series! The final battle in this book was amazing! For once Sienna and her legion were 1 step ahead at all times. I loved seeing the growth of the characters in this book. I think the only thing I would have loved at the end was maybe a bundle of joy at the end even though the guys are terrified of watching their children die, but would they really? Sienna is now immortal, a goddess. Couldn’t their children be just as immortal and leave all those men especially Sataneal and Lucifer a little more joy in life along with the rest of their legion. I can only dream. Lol.

Satisfying ending to an Original Series that kept me up all night just so I could finish. Sia the FMC grew throughout the 5 books losing some of her fear, becoming more confident and did pretty good as a leader. One nice thing was how she accepted help from others & had no problem admitting when she was overwhelmed, I hate know-it all characters that are cocky and end up making a mess of things. Problems were resolved and questions answered in this last book with a decent HEA. Kind of sad to see the series end. Maybe the author will do a follow-up Novella or even better a full length novel to see how Sia and her crew are doing and how things are coming along in Hell and Fairy.

Wow!
What a series! The growth of individual characters and their relationships was amazing. You’re given enough details to really feel connected to the characters without being overwhelmed, having a sense of stagnation, or being bored to tears. I really enjoyed how the relationships between the First Legion were worked through, as well as their relationships with the other outworlder groups. While there were definitely moments of tears, and laughter I feel closure to the series without having a sense that things ended too easily/prettily nor do I have lingering questions (thank you epilogue!!!).

Can you cry, laugh, scream in excitement and fear all at the same time?
She has done it again!!! An epic conclusion to an overwhelmingly awesome book! I cried for Ron at least 3 times. I cried for all the others at least twice. The book was sexy, scary, and achingly beautiful! The best part was that Sam and Bel both learned that they can ask have their own time in the spotlight and being a “supporting person” doesn’t mean they have to ignore their wants and needs. I loved the family reunion and cried for Jamal!

Five books into the series and this was the best of them all! Every step, every breath, every word, was worth paying attention to the details. The characters did not disappoint and the story went over and beyond to satisfy the reader.
At first I was disappointed that none of them had any plans of having children together, but honestly, it completely slipped my mind until now that I am writing this. And I think I am completely ok with how it all wrapped up.
This really was worth the read. Definitely interesting from start to finish.

Wow
Auryn Hadley is one of the most intelligent writers today! I am honestly sad when I finish a series by her.
Her way of taking a subject and creating a whole new side of the story is pretty amazing.
Each of her characters has incredible depth. With relatable thoughts and emotions. She doesn't rush the story at all , although there are times I would not mind popping a few of the more stubborn males in the head, but that in itself shows they a realistic characters.
Her books are a joy to read!

I need more!
I can't believe that is it. Absolutely loved these characters. Such a amazing concept turned into an amazing story. Such a shame we won't get to see the rest of their stories together as I can imagine they will experience many amazing things. Would love if Auryn released little short stories about some of their adventures together and how they grow together and their interactions with sia's parents, god the fallen, demons, the residents of fire Island and random midworlders as imagine so many more stories to be told

Holy Moly
I’ve been riding this storm with Sia since the beginning and I swear it’s the most beautiful one yet. It’s filled me with so much saddens, so much happiness, and best of all - hope. There’s so many words in this series that lightly touch on all the real world issues and it makes sense. Do I wish this series would continue? Absolutely, but I’m perfectly happy with the ending and everything is answered. I mean, Sia is immortal, so who knows, we might get another story in the future.
