Angels of Chaos #2

Wings of Darkness

Rate this book
Men--even supernatural ones--are a real pain-in-the-wings.

I’ll do anything for a chance at freedom, even work with my black-hearted, white-winged ex-boyfriend.

When Noah recruits me, Shade, and my two enemies-turned-lovers to train for a mission beyond the lines of Hell, we take him up on it. Not that we have much choice.

And come on, what could possibly go wrong?

For starters, working with Noah stirs up old feelings I’d rather forget, and I’m not alone. The attraction between me and my angel ex is distracting to say the least. Beckett and Rhyland don’t trust angels or demons, and if I do, the twins aren’t sure they can trust me. As for Shade… His possessiveness might just damn us all.

Relationship Status: It’s complicated.

Mission to Hell Status: Already there.

My god this had plenty of those WTH!!! moments and some were so bloody good too. Book 2 in this series certainly doesnt let up on the action and the fast pace from book 1.

Brianna (FMC) and the guys - Rhyland, Beckett, Shade and alpha**** Noah are sent on rescue mission thats not exactly an easy one. It could see them released though. Its one hell of a caper (quite literally!!). Swoon Shade in this book! Holy hotness!! Loved him. More secrets were uncovered too. This series just keeps getting better and better. Im loving it so much

Still diggin it. Just getting a tiny bit bored, but I don’t think it’s the book’s fault.
I’m pretty sure I’ll finish the series, but I’m gonna take a break and read something else first.

EDIT: I lied. Once again. I don’t care enough to read the third book. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Not a bad series by any means. I’m just in a weird mood and this is the second or third series I’ve done this with.

3.75, but round up.

This was a quick and entertaining read, but I wish there was just a bit more depth...

This books picks up a few weeks after the last one finished. Brianna is in a coma, back at the prison, and Noah struggles to get her, Shade and the twins out of there. No more spoilers from here on, you’ll have to read for yourself - but beware, the book ends with a cliffhanger, and the final book won’t be out until October 2021.

I really love the world building, it’s not like any other book about angels and demons that I’ve read so far. And I love the action scenes, they’re fast paced and have you sitting at the edge of your seat. The relationship between the characters felt a bit… idk… i could quite “feel” it, but it was ok, and the sex scenes made up for the lack of relatability.

Looking forward to the last book of this trilogy!

Wow, this picks up from where book one left us and just carries on seamlessly. Action packed and more then a little steamy this had me on the edge of my seat. The storyline is exciting and gripping and the characters are just fab, I mean Brianna is totally kick ass plus we get a little more back story. I am so excited for the next book!

When Noah finds out he takes Brianna with permission from Michael and Beckett, Rhyland, and Shade from the prison to start training for a special mission.

One of my new favorites!

I absolutely love this series! The action, the heat, the originality - there’s no other book like this one. The characters are so well written and the authors really pull you into the world, so deeply you’re surprised when it ends.

That ending! Some things in this book you kind of expect but the execution is still great to read. I love Shade. I think that is the consensus probably is he is the favorite but that doesn't mean that I don't like the others. Brianna is a terrific character and can't wait to read the next book.

This second book in the "Angels of chaos" series picks up right where the first book ended: with Brianna in a coma and Shade, Beckett and Ryland back in prison. All men try to bring Brianna back from her coma, and when Shade finally succeeds, Noah finds a way to let them leave prison for a mission. Before going on a mission to hell though, they have to help Brianna control her new powers. And in the mean time prevent themselves from killing each other.

This book has some amazing characters: I like Brianna as the fmc, and I loooooove Shade. He is the kind of possessive male dreams are made of. After the first book I didn't know what to make of Noah, but this book changed my perspective on the guy. It is clear he has the best intentions, but also the most lousy way of doing things. I love the way this series fills in the concept of angels, demons and nephilim and the war between all of them. And then that trip to hell, and everything that happened there: loved it!

This series is definitely worth the read; I'm anxiously waiting for the final book, especially after the way the second book ended.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Expands the battlefield in more ways than one

Brianna, a Nephilim just trying to survive, was sent to prison and found herself reunited with Beckett and Rhyland, twin nephilim from her past, drawn to Shade, the lone demon in prison, and encounters Noah, the angel pretending to be nephilim and her ex-boyfriend, and much more in Angels of Chaos. As the story progresses the truth of her parentage is unknown, a deal is struck, and dealing with everyone’s personalities seems to be more dangerous than surviving training for their elite team. May Dawson’s Wings of Darkness expands the battlefield in more ways than one. The war being waged in her heart appears to be more terrifying than the war being fought between angels and demons over the earthly plane.

I read this book with my Kindle Unlimited subscription and I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.

The Mission . . .

We rejoin the characters Brianna (a nephilim), Beckett and Rhyland (twin nephilim from her past), Shade (a demon), and Noah (an angel pretending to be nephilim and Brianna’s ex-boyfriend). This presents multiple trust issues and Brianna is pushing down her old feelings for her ex, Noah. Continuing from Book 1, Ryland, Shade, and Beckett are back in the prison and Brianna is in a coma. Shade finally brings her out of the coma while Noah makes a deal with the warden to allow them to leave the prison for a mission. But before the dangerous mission to hell, Brianna needs help learning to control her new powers. The biggest issue, however, is to keep the men from killing each other. Is this mission ill-fated? Or will they accomplish what they need to do?

The story line is exciting and the characters are delightfully different and intriguing. Grab your copy and follow their uneasy alliance on their mission to hell.

I need book 3 now!! What an ending! We start the story with Brianna unconscious, still with no idea of who/what she is. Noah finally has his “team” together and a mission. I think the grumpy angel needs a good shake though! His evasiveness and half truths are winning him no favours. I still love all of Brianna’s men though, including him. However, Shade at times, makes me question my tastes. Everyone loves a bad boy, but does that include a crazy demon without a conscience? Apparently for me it does! We finally discover Brianna’s origins. It wasn’t exactly surprising, but what that means for her and her men after that explosive ending remains to be seen. I can’t wait for the next book - A fantastic read.

This continues immediately after the cliffhanger ending of Angels of Chaos. Take note of the change in Point of View at each chapter. Apparently, Brianna and her friends were taken to a prison facility overseen by Warden Jacob and experiments are being performed on Brianna. Bri has an out-of-body experience and wonders if she’s dreaming or dead. Noah makes a team of Bri, Rhyland, Beckett, Shade, and himself to rescue Nakir, the Warden's son. Bri, Rhy, and Beck have a hot threesome. Brianna gets flying lessons from Noah. The team goes to Hell to rescue Nakir from the demons and Bri learns her father is Satan. The book continues in non-stop, violent, intense action sequences with periodic hot sex mixed in, up until the cliffhanger ending as they escape from Hell.

Well that was a bit of a bombshell dropped right there!!
I need to know what’s going on like now 😂
Ok so after the last book they all make it back to 12 but they’re sent on a mission to truly earn their freedom from the prison. They venture to Hell where they are really put through the ringer and sticky situations. Although Brianna really comes into her own!
Things really begin to develop between Brianna and the twins along with Shade in this second book, and hot damn do they have some steamy moments. 🔥
Noah is pretty much a lost cause until the last 10% of the book, but you get the feeling throughout that all is not what it seems between those two!
A great combination of action, steam and development! Looking forward to seeing Lucifers plan in the next one! 😈

Wow! This book was action packed and steamy!

In Wings of Darkness, Noah, Brianna, Shade and the twins are sent on a mission into Hell to rescue Nazir. Before they go though, Brianna has to learn how to use her powers.
Brianna is a strong, caring, kind FMC and struggles learning how to use her powers but in the end she shines and kicks demon butt.
I have to say Noah was my least favourite character. He says he loves Brianna but he treats her like crap and I honestly can’t say I would forgive him for it.

Wings of Darkness was amazing! It was action packed and had lots of steam (and I don’t mean from Hell). If you love nephilim, demons and angels then you should check out this book!

Brianna is the kind of tough lady we all wish we could be, throw in her crazy powers and the fact that even though she grew up thinking she was nelphim, she is really not af all. I love this story of a girl and the boys she loved as a child, reunited in prison. One of them not what he pretended to be at all, the twins thinking she betrayed them and Brianna thinking that they all abandoned her. The emotions in this series are pretty intense, betrayal, love, matters of trust and when to lay your heart bare. Action packed and some big revelations that really throw everything they all thought they knew, right out of the window. Hold on tight for this thrilling trip straight to Hell!

Things are heating up in the second book of Angels of Chaos. There's steam, action and so much more on every single page. After discovering her new powers, Brianna has to learn to control them but she can't do that without the help of her demon, Shade. And she'll do anything to gain freedom for herself and her lovers. Noah is definitely an interesting character in this one, for most of it you can't help but hate him, but there's more to him than meets the eye.

And there's one hell of a revelation at the end of the book, one I sorta suspected but it was nice to have a confirmation of it by the end of the book. Can't wait for the next one.

Story picks up directly with Brianna waking up and in her exes custody to train for their field trip through hell. Few mishaps with her guys prior and her realization that Noah is still in love with her but she can’t get over the fact that he hurt her. Noah’s has his own secrets and she’s realizing that there’s alot more in the picture that he won’t reveal.
I’m hell Brianna has a mission to rescue the wardens son and there they encounter alot of demons and she finds another companion.
-Fast paced and another great part of the trilogy.
I’m so looking forward to reading the B next installment

WOW! I am so LOVING this series! Brianna is such a wonderful character! And I love the progression of Shade and her men. I am warming up to Noah a little bit more...and the more we are able to see there backstories and the way things are with eachother now is so juicy...the steam level is just perfect! And the twists that the story takes in a few spots was one of the places I was hoping for! I am so excited for book 3 and can't wait to get my hands on it! May Dawson and Alexa B.James are fantastic together!!

This story picks up where book 1 left off. Brianna and her guys are back in prison and have to earn their freedom. Can they get along long enough to complete the mission? Will Noah be forgiven? Will they all get a chance to be together at last? Will Brianna get the answers she needs about her past. This book is packed full of action and suspense I could not put it down and the cliffhanger OMG. I can not wait until book 3 to see what's in store for Brianna, Noah, Shade, Ryland and Beckett.

Smooth transition from book 1 to 2 in this installment of the series. Brianna wakes from a healing coma to find herself back in prison. However, she also learns that she is to be part of a special team to rescue the son of the prison's warden. Unfortunately, the leader of the team is her ex Noah, but the rest of the team includes Shade and the twins. Happy to be together to train and fight once more, sparks fly, secrets are revealed and the story leaves you wanting book 3 asap. An exciting RH with not only spice but a great story line to support it. Enjoy!

OMFG! I love this book! Brianna is not what she or anyone else thought she was. She has black wings? No nephilim would have those! Now she is stuck with her angel ex Noah, 2 of her old friends turned lover hot nephilim twins Ryland and Beckett, and a steamy demon Shade. How did she end up here with them? Noah picks this team of misfits to complete a mission that might kill them and if it doesn't it might just save all of their lives! Cannot wait for the next one!

This was an amazing read that grabbed me from the very first page. It moves along at a steady pace making for an easy and enjoyable read. It has characters that fall in love with and you want to be there to help them no matter what happens and a story that keeps you interested and reading until you reach the last page and then you are wanting more. This book is a must read, there is no doubt about it.

I was anxiously waiting for this book and it did not disappoint at all. I am absolutely loving this series so dang much. The characters are awesome and so great. No one knows what or who she really is yet. It starts off from book 1 and it really just keeps going, with new information for them all to process and figure out what is going on. Could not put down at all and I am so ready to the next book to come out because I definitely need to know what's going to happen now.

This series gets better and better. It’s action packed, steamy, and so good!

We pick up right after the first book, when Brianna and her men are back in the custody of the prison. To earn their freedom, they’re sent on a mission to hell.

I love seeing the relationships between Brianna and her men grow. There are twists and turns and what we learn at the cliffhanger ending has me needing the next book ASAP!

Holy heaven and hell!! This book has Brianna learning more about who she is and growing in her powers! The twins are still the surly and goofy duo but we get to see other sides to each. We get to see more about Noah and understand his thinking and choices. And Shade, who knew a demon could be so damn lovable.

They learn to be a team while on a mission through hell and pick up the best pet along the way!

Can’t wait for book 3!!! Highly recommend this series.

I’m loving this second book to this series Brianna ends up in a coma and her guys Beckett, Ryland and Shade are thrown into jail and wow Noah might mean well but he goes about doing things the wrong way which makes me angry how could he be so stupid. There is so much more going on in this story this book is not a standalone you do need to read book 1 to understand what’s going on, I loved this story and I can’t wait to read book 3 and I highly recommend this book.

This book carries on right from where we left off with book one. I loved the character development and really enjoyed seeing Brianna coming in to her bad a$$ self in this installment. Action packed, and filled with heat, it sucked me right in and didn't let go until I hit the end...oh that cliffy! Now I'm practically panting for book three ;) Expect a fast paced story with a unique plot to totally carry you away when you crack this baby open. Good fun!

Wings of Darkness - Amazing

Awesome story with Aria and her fellow prisoners/childhood friends. While trying to escape prison our team manages to be caught and forced to join a new team. Unfortunately for them the head of the new team is none other then Aria’s Mr Ex. Sparks fly and secrets are revealed. Great story and I definitely need the next installment. Hanging here. Well done. A definite must read.

These two authors are just amazing! We met Aria in book one where she meets up with childhood friends when she is sent to prison. They quickly form a group and plot their escape. Unfortunately they get caught with part of their punishment involving being forced into a new group led by her ex. This definitely creates lots of sparks and tension as they all have to work together. Makes for an addicting read that you won't want to put down. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
