Angels of Elysium: the Complete Series
WELCOME TO THE LAND OF ANGELS.
FEATHER - book 1
With only a month left to earn her missing feathers, 20-year-old Leigh embarks on a trip to Paris to meet her newest project, 25-year-old Jarod Adler, leader of the Parisian Mafia and the worst kind of sinner . . . a Triple.
CELESTIAL - book 2
Celeste swore off angels, but the death of the woman who took her in the night her best friend died brings them soaring back into her life. And not just any angel but the most detestable one-Seraph Asher.
STARLIGHT - book 3
When Naya thrusts herself in Adam's life to request a place on his clandestine team of guardians, he turns her away. The last thing his unsanctioned squad needs is an archangel's attention, and the last thing he needs is a bubbly, blonde distraction with a sinful voice and soulful eyes.

Angles of Elysium is one of my favorite series. The world that Olivia builds is complex and fantastical, while also familiar to us as it is set in both our world and Elysium. The angle hierarchy is so interesting and the watching the characters navigate themselves in relation to that hierarchy made me want cheer. The characters shine through in all the books, and throughout them all the concept of love and how it can heal is showcased.
You will definitely feel things throughout this series. I was broken after Feather, started healing in Celestial, and fully healed by the end of Starlight. I cannot say enough about this series, and now that it's all in one omnibus? Definitely give it a chance!

Angels of Elysium is such an outstanding series. You will get all the feels. It's so romantic and bold, deeply moving, sultry, adventurous, and so well written. Plus the series comes full circle from book 1 through book 3.

I will never get over this Series
I have never in all my years of reading been so obsessed with a series as I am with this one. From page one of book one til the final page of book three. You are taken on a freaking journey and that is an understatement. Olivia Wildenstein has created a world that you don't want to leave and I promise you it will live rent free in your head long after you've finished. I was so satisfied by the ending of this series that I'm afraid nothing else will compare ever again. I will recommend this until the end of time. Thank you thank you thank you

This is a intense series with lots of emotion and action. The world building will transport the reader away to a world where it’s easy to believe angels are real.

Emotive, sensual, dangerous, and oh so feathering good!
Olivia Wildenstein created the Angels of Elysium world, kicking off with a
re-imagined, sleek, new Romeo and Juliet experience called Feather.
Feather is a decadent Romeo & Juliet retelling, set in the gorgeous backdrop of Paris, featuring a mafia boss Romeo and an angel Juliet retelling, with danger, snark, sensual attraction, and an enemies to lovers vibe, but be warned, GRAB THOSE TISSUES!!
Celestial was snarky, dangerous, and fun tit-for-tat, toe-to-toe, semi-enemies-to lovers. A street-wise angel not interested in entering Elysium, content to stay on Earth, until the mountain of sexy Archangel who helped her sister burn her wings, shows up to get her back on the straight and narrow.
But then you have Starlight. Wow! The sexual tension from Feather, the snark from Celestial, and a completely different twist of the two previous books, the globe-trotting angels, rebelling "against the machine" with more snark, more danger, loads of family secrets, and a finale that makes the wrap-up of the trilogy a perfect *chef's kiss* ending! Though I would love more from the side characters in this one, it's
well done Ms. Wildenstein, SO WELL DONE!
Highly reccommend!!

This series is a wild ride. It is the perfect example of a book or series destroying you and then slowly putting you back together piece by piece. The world building is beautiful and in-depth with vivid, detailed imagery. The plot points are intriguing with a dash of mystery and suspense, making this series so captivating that I couldn’t put it down.
Each book introduces a new set of characters but all are interconnected. The romance is slow-burn and there is lots of wonderful tension and build-up with an angsty enemies to lovers feel. This is definitely a plot-driven series and the spicy scenes are fewer than I’m used to but scorching hot nonetheless. I fell head of heels for these characters and loved every minute of this emotional and sometimes heartbreaking journey.
I highly recommend this series for any paranormal romance fans, especially if you enjoy a more plot-driven story. Also, just look at those beautiful covers! This was my first series by Olivia and I’m looking forward to reading more!

Your Heart Will Not Escape Unscathed!😇🪽❤️🩹
A Remarkable 4.5 Star Trilogy!⭐️💥
Angels of Elysium Trilogy
Each book is interconnected in some way, but the characters don't necessarily know it all the way through each story!
Book 1, the fmc, has a naive quality that's mostly indearing. Her 'sinner' is a man apart. He's something more than he seems on the surface! It's beautiful and heartbreaking. Bravo 👏
Book 2, The mfc is fiesta, stubborn, and broken. Losing who she viewed as the best of them crushed her. She's determined to lose her wings. Mmc, he's determined to save her and get her to complete her wings so she'll ascend, as he holds a huge secret!💥 Amazing.
Book 3, the culmination of it all. The mfc is a star angel pupil. She's on course to gain her wings and ascend earlier than anyone other than her father! Mmc is a rebel. He craves justice, action, and loathes things being swept under the carpet. If they can help , they should, in his eyes! Will his actions get them both killed or make them fall??😳🥺🪽 Outstanding!⭐️

When I started reading this it was for a book club I was in and all I knew was that it was a Romeo and Juliet retelling which to be honest I was not looking forward to because when it comes to the books, I read I want a HEA at the end. All I am going to say is please, please, please just read these beautiful stories. I was hooked from the first few chapters and by the end of the first book I absolutely needed to know how the story was going to continue. To say I was surprised with the direction the story goes after book one is an understatement. When I finished the series, I was so sad it was over because I had fallen in love with the characters and the world so much. Even if you're someone who doesn't enjoy having your heart broken when you're reading, I still say give this series a chance! It was a beautiful story about loss, grief, love and second chances and it became one of those stories I wish I could read for the first time all over again.

This series had me in a chokehold, seriously. I love angels and the lore surrounding them so this was right up my alley.
This is Books 1-3 and I loved how they all flowed and you saw the same characters, as they were introduced in the story prior.
Book 1: Really draws you in with Leigh, the pure Verity and the triple point sinner she takes on, Jarod. A triple is someone who is essentially irredeemable. However, what you find out is his sin isn't such a sin, and Leigh is determined to fix it and find salvation for his soul.
Book 2: Follows the characters you meet in book 1 Celeste and Asher. Celests LOATHES Asher and blames him for a lot of bad things that have happened. Asher wants nothing to do with this sharp tongued angel. Yet somehow they keep crossing paths.
Book 3: Oh this last one, I can't tell you anything about this without totally spoiling it. It was truly the best finale to the series.

This series is perfect. I loved each romance as a stand alone, yet each was connected in a deeper way more than most stand alone romances. I shed a lot of tears in the first book, that continued through the second and third as happy tears.
I found the books to be well written, with well written main and side characters. I love grumpy/sunshine romances and this series gave me that.
It was refreshing to read a series about angels/Elysian without there being demons/hell.
I still can’t believe that Feather was meant to be a standalone. Celestial and Starlight did not feel like afterthought or rushed at all and I am thankful to Olivia for writing those books for us readers.

Overall, I did end up enjoying this series for what it was. For me, it does suffer a bit from the author trying to extend what should've been a standalone.
I really liked the first book, despite not vibing with the end. The second book was surprisingly enjoyable. The third made it all come full circle, but for what I got, I would've preferred the main couple to NOT be killed off in the first book. Their reincarnated selves didn't do it for me at all.
I look forward to the author's future works. I do enjoy her writing, but this series is another one I think should've been left as a standalone.
Rating:
2.5/5

Book 1: This love story was so sweet! I loved the character dynamics and development. The end WRECKED me 😭😭😭😭
Book 2: Ok initially I was disappointed that this book followed different characters, but it quickly won me over and truly became one of my favs in the series! The banter was great and the mystery was super intriguing. Loved it!
Book 3: I loved this final book! It was a beautiful conclusion with its own mystery and intrigue while still neatly wrapping things up. The spice was great and the character dynamics were well thought out!

Light and dark, wings and "heroes". Glitter and grunge twisted together in enigmatic storytelling. I still can't get over the writing style, everything keeps you pulled in. Many beautiful examples of hope in darkness. I need this to be a more prominent trope about soulmates finding each other because we all enjoy a simple "mine" book but this is on a completely different level... but literal. Even with the Romeo and Juliet plastered on everything, you'll still never guess how the story goes.

This series overall was so brilliant and unique. I haven't read anything like it before. The story was so creative and detailed. From a spiritual perspective, it would be great if the afterlife/spiritual realm really looked like this.
Individually, each story in this series was phenomenal; dramatic but not over the top and just the right amount of emotion. The plot was so awesome! I laughed, I cried and I swooned!

so clever and different
Although I was happy to read this from the description, once I started it became so much more. This is not your usual Angel romance, although it certainly has some of those aspects, this story has really amazing depth and loads of layers that keep you hooked all the way through the trilogy.
Highly recommended

Just wow
I've rated this a five because not only did you pull me through the vortex of your imagination I felt every feather of the beauty that is leigh,jarod,naya and adam. My heart burst not just for their lives but the lives they touched. I'm definitely going to be in a book funk after this series.

This trilogy is AMAZING! I fell so in love with these characters! The way the story is written and the character development and storylines are carried, continued, and connected throughout the three books in incredible! I couldn’t stop thinking about the characters when I wasn’t reading about them.
Also, the love story between Jarod and Feather is beautiful and heartbreaking and it destroyed me emotionally multiple times.
I LOVE this trilogy!! I give it five bazillion stars!!!

This trio was sooo good!!!! The first 2 books were my favorite a solid 5/5⭐️ 3.5/5🌶 but the last book was alright. I liked their love story the first time around and I give the 3rd book a Barely 4/5 ⭐️ 2🌶 maybe even just a 1.5 spice. But it was still good and I really enjoyed it just not nearly as much as the first 2 books.

Angles but no God!
I looked forward to reading this book about Angles and love but was VERY disappointed when she said "" there is no God". The story was good but I kept waiting for Gods presence. I hated the ending of the first book, so I stopped reading. If you care nothing for this instance, read this series. I could not.

Stunning!!
Why did I leave this series in my tbr for so long?! It was truly an amazing story. From Jarod and Leigh to Adam and Naya, it was thrilling, funny, heartbreaking, and heartwarming with twists to boot! I loved seeing the characters grow in Starlight and grow into each other. The side characters were great, too. I absolutely recommend this series to everyone.

I'm rating the series as a whole 5 stars... only because the overarching story is still sticking in my head a few months later! Each individual book is DEFINITELY not 5 stars - I'd probably say 3/4/3. The change of characters/timeline jumps between books made it so interesting. Book one is definitely the weakest- until you get to the last chapters and transition to the next book.

One of my favorites series ever!
The romance, the angst, the feelings, the emotional journey, drama, the story, the characters, the writing ,... I love everything about these books.
My favorite is still Feather though 😍😭❤️

Awesome love story. Loved the plot twists and description of Angelic life. Would love to have follow up focused on some of the other angels and their law changes.
