Hells Bells & Demon Deals #1
Obsidian Wings
“Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned… and I plan to do it again.”
- Azazel, Archangel of the Lord.
When I heard Pestilence—a horseman of the apocalypse—had been set free, I thought returning him to his crypt would be just another job. After all, that’s what watcher angels do. We protect humanity from the creatures that go bump in the night.
Everything changed the instant I locked eyes with her. I’ve been awed by Earth’s wonders before, but she stole the breath from my lungs. Lust is forbidden and mingling with mortals is punishable by death. Yet, I can’t get her out of my head.
There’s no avoiding her, either. I’m here to interrogate a witch and figure out who set the horseman free, but I need her help to do so. It’s a dangerous game we’re playing, and if I can’t figure out a way to keep my hands off her, it will be my end.
Obsidian Wings is the first book in the Hells Bells & Demon Deals series.
It's comprised of standalone love stories that take place in the same universe and features characters that cross over from book to book.
It is also the prequel to the Dark Halos trilogy.

I really liked it. It intrigued me with the race to catch Pestilence before its too late. This book is also fun with bits of humor thrown in. Let's not forget Azazel and Celeste. They are both great and powerful in their own right. There were some twists I wasn't even expecting. I'm curious how the rest of the stories play out.

Very rarely do I read PNR that makes me bust a gut laughing. Obsidian Wings is by no means a comedy; I mean, they're trying to recapture one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse. That's pretty serious business, right? The human race is on the line here. Of course, that won't stop us from taking a moment to admire an angel's ass, right? Characters are still characters and Azazel is yum yum and easy to root for. Celeste is a take-charge person and relatable. Both of these characters are hurt from love lost, but they've found each other in the most impossible of situations. And don't we love it when love conquers all?
I highly recommend Obsidian Wings. It's a PNR that's not oppressively dark, but still full of all the good stuff--angels, witches, vampires, oh my! I'm putting it on my re-read shelf, which I rarely do.

"I might be an angel, but I'm no Saint..."- Azazel
If you asked me what Obsidian Wings is like I would tell you it's like the TV show Supernatural but heavy on the spice. There are angels, demons, witches, shifters, etc. Watcher angels spend 15-year rotations on Earth before going back to heaven to "recharge" since their grace depletes. They keep an eye on supernatural creatures. An angel and a witch opened the tomb of the 4 horsemen and released Pestilence. Humans began getting sick with a deadly illness the angels called The Plague of Shadows. Archangel Azazel and witch Celeste team up to figure out who started the Apocolypse and stop them while having a lot of spicy encounters with each other along the way.
At first, I was rolling my eyes at how fast and hard the main characters fell in love with each other. It seemed far-fetched since they should be enemies but I think as readers we are so programmed for enemies-to-lovers that we don't know what to do with "should be enemies but love at first sight". By the end I was emotionally attached to the characters and biting my nails.
So if you like spicy romance and supernatural adventure, this book is definitely for you! Happy reading!

I am not really into paranormal books and definitely not PNR but this book is simply off the charts. From the first page to the last you're sucked in. I laughed, I cried, I did everything in-between. Aggie's take on a fictional biblical level is phenomenal. Azazel is my new book boyfriend. The twists and turns, so much hits you that you didn't see coming. This book has angels, demons, witches, werewolves everything you'd expect in a paranormal read but with humor and steamy bites. I love every character in this story and cannot wait for more in the series to come out!

I absolutely loved this book. It started off as a bit of a slow burn but it quickly turned into a wildfire. I don't want to give anything away since I got this as an ARC, but this made me feel emotions that I don't usually feel when I'm reading books.
The characters are wonderful and the fantasy "world" that Amanda built it easy to believe actually exists. Angels, demons, witches, shifters, vampires, this book has it all. Mildly spicy, but lots of tension. Azazel is *chef's kiss*
I could not put this down and as soon as I finished this book I wanted to start reading book 2.

This book is a unique take on angels and demons. I loved that it was told from both the male and female main characters' perspectives as it gave us more of their personalities and inner thoughts. Amanda Aggie's writing is witty and I found myself laughing out loud at some scenes.. And her characters are relatable regardless of their paranormal abilities. This was a perfect mix of paranormal plot and steam and really was a page-turner. This is a prequel to Aggie's Dark Halo trilogy and it perfectly adds more to this entire story. Definitely go check out The Demon Prince next!

Ugh I fucking loved this book so much. Between the narrator and the author itself- this is Amanda’s best book yet! And she’s only getting better and better! Hands down my favorite author! For this being a serious book, there was surprisingly a lot of comical moments, and puts a really interesting take on the mythical world! Such well built characters, I genuinely felt like I was literally wrapped up in a fast paced world! Definitely would do amazing as an adaptation on Netflix! Need more!

Totally pulls you in and you won't want to put it down. This will have you laughing, biting your nails and sitting on the edge of your seat. Definitely a Must Read!!!

I could not finish this book. It was absolutely ridiculous and completely implausible. The characters were unrelatable and did not hold my interest in anyway.

Obsidian Wings by Amanda Aggie is part of the Hells Bells and Demon Deals World Series. This story is of Arch Angel Azazel and Celeste's romance.
All I can say are praises for this book and it's author, Amanda Aggie. Wow, what a wild ride this has been. I love all the loosely based references to Arch Angels and the Four Horsemen,
Amanda paints a descriptive and imaginative world full of witches, vampires, shapeshifters, demons and angels.
The storyline is easy to follow and has adventure, intrigue, mystery, romance, steam and heartbreak that will have your heart pumping. I even cried... okay, sobbed like a baby. 😂
I absolutely devoured and loved every bit of this book and am left desperately wanting more. If you love paranormal romance that excites and transports you to a whole new world, Obsidian Wings by Amanda Aggie is the author for you.

I loved the plot and the characters. The romance was very rushed though. I'm not a fan of instant love and would have preferred to read this story over two books with a bit more romance, rather than love at first sight.
I'm looking forward to reading the second instalment and seeing what happens next.
The only downside to this story is that it feels more like a prequel rather than an origin story.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started this book, so it was like opening a surprise page by page. The concept was intriguing and the characters interesting. I especially liked the relationship—complete with fun, smirk inducing banter—between Azazel and his buddy, Cass. I found myself giggling at their antics more than once. Overall, I enjoyed the book. It was fun spending time with angels and witches and things that go bump in the night.

I can not tell you how excited I am to read more! It’s been a minute since I have found a book that I just wanted to sit and read all day and do nothing else. Amanda has such a well rounded way of writing so many elements wonderfully into a book. There’s sass, steam, action, and comedy! Cannot recommend enough!

If you like paranormal romance this would be right up your alley. This was an interesting take on angels and demons. You get sucked in from the first page. The story is easy to follow but keeps your attention. There are many twists and turns and keeping you on the edge of your seat. You will want to pick up the rest of the series.

Enjoyable but desperately needs editing
I really liked the idea of the book and the start was great. Then everything went too fast and the editing was atrocious, not to mention the use of incorrect words that just completely drags you out of the story. I don’t regret reading, but I am hesitant to pick up the next in the series.

Captivating
I love the storyline. I prefer very descriptive novels because my mind pictures them as movies. Amanda Aggie NEVER disappoints. I love how there's always a twist and this is not exception! 🤌🏾

This book did not disappoint. I love how relatable the characters are, and the story is always riveting. I find myself laughing out loud at times, crying at others, and desperate to finish. I can't wait for the next book.

Interesting characters, some spice and a strong female lead. Pacing felt a little off towards the end, but not a bad read.

By far my favorite couple in there series! Loved it! I'm glad she did a spin off with Alice's story and gave her an entire trilogy! I can't wait to dive into that next!

September 28, 2022Definitely reads like a prequel, like an afterthought to fill in the blanks of the background of a story. Not bad but the characters felt underdeveloped

Another new author for me and currently reading thru' all her books. Great stories. This one very enjoyable.

I loved it so much! Celeste and Azazel are absolute goals 😍 Their backstories and how they fight the attraction made it so juicy. I laughed, swooned, and cried before it was over - way to soon for my liking, by the way.
October 25, 2022
This one will have you feeling ALL the feels.
After having read TDP earlier this year, I was stoked to learn that the author was releasing a full length version of Alice’s parents story.
Celeste is all fire and snark. And Azazel? Ugghhh. He’s easily my new favorite MMC this author has written.
These two had me going from laughing to crying then right back to laughing all within seconds. I’m so glad I decided to wear waterproof eyeliner/mascara to work the day I read the majority of Obsidian Wings.
I •knew• how OW was going to end. But it still killed me to read the ending. Celeste and Azazel have worked their way into my heart.

Little disclaimer: this is more of a rant than an actual review so I apologize for any mistakes. Also, take this with a pinch of salt: I am no expert, just an avid reader and don't mean to be disrespectful.
This is my first not-so-positive review because I usually just read through these kinds of not-so-great aspects, however, this book was so full of editing mistakes that I lost count of how many times I couldn't understand what was happening and what the characters/descriptions were referring to.
There were a lot of basic grammar/writing mistakes such as using the wrong pronouns or possessive pronouns, leaving out pieces of the composed verbs or just incomplete sentences with missing nouns etc...
Unfortunately, though, that wasn't the only or even the worst problem: the one that really made it hard for me to get through the book and that made it impossible to really get into the story and make a connection with the characters is how quickly things were happening. I didn't have time to come to terms with an event that it had already evolved into another one.
HOWEVER
It did have some redeeming qualities such as the world-building; the plot in general which, yes was developed a little too quickly, but was in the end pretty enjoyable; the characters, who I really loved and the whole idea behind the story, which had great potential and just lacked in the drawing up and editing process.
THAT BEING SAID I recommend reading through it and continuing with the next book in this series which is fantastic and absolutely worth it!
