Blackout
WHAT WAS SHALL NO LONGER BE. WHAT WAS NOT SHALL NOW BECOME.
Despite having the protection of the talisman and the Legion, a reforming force of warrior angels and elementals, guarding his every move, things are not looking good for Charlie Blake. Tasked with the responsibility of saving mankind, finding the four diamonds to restore the talisman is all he can think of, but when his prophetic visions start to invade his reality and he suddenly can’t distinguish the dream world from the real world, the pending extinction of mankind becomes the least of his problems. Everyone assumes Charlie’s dormant powers are activating, until he starts showing symptoms of a deadly disease.
With his nemesis, Gaddis, threatening the lives of his loved ones, he faces a race against time to locate the Stone of Raphael, the air diamond, before an imminent pandemic destroys civilization. As he ventures into dangerous lands once again, he unearths shocking revelations about his past life that forces him to question his allegiance. With no one to turn to for answers, he can’t help but wonder if his purpose is truly to save mankind.

I didn't think it could get any better than book one but this was amazing. So many twists and turns and adventure. I love how the characters have developed from the first book. I only just found out about this series and I'm so glad I did. Can't wait to see what's going to happen in book 3.

I absolutely loved Blackout, and I'd gladly read it again! Every page grabbed me into their world, and it was really hard to put down! The imagery and suspense in Blackout were even better than the previous book. Every character is highly stressed throughout the book and leads to lots of revelations about who they truly are. Readers explore Alex's varying emotion and the chaos in her family. Charlie loves Alex, and I loved watching him try to protect her and face his feelings about her. This book goes fast paced, and the battles with demons and evil angels explode into what felt like a live-action movie. The mystery aspect was highly internalized for Charlie. He is constantly debating with who he once was as an angel and who he is as human. Not to mention the whole good-vs-evil thing. It is quite overwhelming for him to attempt to control destiny.

Blackout (Arcadia Book 2) by Al Stone
In the second book in the Arcadia series Charlie is in a race for time to save his loved ones. He is on a quest to find a sacred stone, also a Pandemic is about to hit. Add to it his new realization about who he is. He is trying to distinguish what is real and what is not. Twists, turns and danger awaits in this fascinating story. I recommend to those who love an intense adventurous fantasy.

I didn't think it could get better than the first book but boy was I wrong. I'm adding this series to my favorites. I can't wait for the third book. I hope it's coming out soon!
