Angelic Academy #3
Tainted Hearts
So everything the pure bloods have been taught all these years was a lie?
Does God really know what his right hand men are doing in his name?
And how the hell do I tell three of my mates that their fathers are lying, deceiving sorry excuses of Archangels?
My life got turned upside down the moment I stepped onto this island and it never seems to stop.
I went from two mates to five.
The man who caused me pain was masking his own.
And now we have a serious problem to deal with.
But leave it to dear old dad to send me some back up in the form of a fiery red headed Vampire guard.
I guess I could use another girl around to deal with all this testosterone. Or maybe to keep me from going crazy.

Wow!! Can I just say, reading through the chapters, I am so happy that Abby finally has all her mates. Everything is looking up for them. Then those last few pages just torn all the happiness I had.. it was so unexpected.. 🖤❤️💔💔

Sooo... did I read the same book as everyone else? I am honestly shocked that this book has two one star ratings (myself being one of the two). Don't get me wrong, the writing in the first two wasn't anything spectacular but compared to this? The first two book might as well have been written by Shakespeare or someone super smart idk. I am in NO WAY an amazing writer, or ever a good writer for that matter. I'm not fantastic with grammar, I just kind of write what looks right. So you know how BAD something has to be for ME to notice it? This book feels like something I could have written... and that is not a compliment. It felt like I was reading a rough draft, the formatting was off, the dialogue was somehow even worse than it was in the first two books, it was just so bad. I have honestly read better written books on wattpad. It feels like the author simply just stopped caring. All of the characters got ridiculous, and lost all personality. They all just love bomb each other and fuck... that is the entire book.
Also (spoiler I guess) Abby gets ANOTHER mate this book. I want to say I have no issue with the fact that the mate is a girl, it just felt so out of left field. Never has Abby mentioned before that she is bisexual. There's nothing wrong with discovering that part of yourself you never knew about, but that wasn't how it felt. It was so poorly done by the author that it felt forced in my opinion. Not to mention, that this mate has supposedly known about Abby for years. I feel like if we would have briefly seen this mate in the first book it would have felt more natural and not like something the author just decided out of left field. It also just doesn't make sense because the author is already struggling to give enough attention to the mates Abby already does have, so why add another onto that?
Anyways I will not continue reading this series, I had to force myself to even finish this one. It's so obvious that this book was either rushed, or just not given the time it really needed to live up to it's potential. No hate to the author or the people who enjoyed this book, it just wasn't for me.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
I don’t want to forget about her. I want to pull her into my arms, kiss her until our lips are swollen and we’re gasping for air. I want to fuck her until she’s screaming my name.
I absolutely devoured this book! Had I been blessed with no motherly duties, I would have read it in one sitting. Still, it kept me up into the witching hours to finish.
The third book in the Angelic Academy series brings us a new mate, the revealing of family secrets, and some crazy twists and revelations. It’s fast-paced and full of steam.
I really appreciated how Abby took time to develop relationships with her new mates before solidifying their bonds. They required a little bit of redemption (or a lot in Isaac’s case), acts of love, and a lot of forgiveness. Abby healed her broken bond while repairing the bonds between the already mated trio: Luke, Noah, and Isaac.
The group comes together after discovering that Isaac was broken in ways they could never imagine. While it doesn’t forgive his past behavior toward Abby and his mates, it does shed light on his actions. Misguided as they were, they were steeped in a desire to protect his mates and a need for self-flagellation.
Thank goodness the Heathers are finally put in their places! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing their downfall.
Fast burn and intensely spicy, there are MMM, MMMF, MF, and MFM scenes and burgeoning FF attraction.
This book ends in a throw-your-kindle-across-the-room cliffhanger. It's fine. I'm fine... just don't know how I will get through these next few months waiting for the next book.
Genre: Paranormal Academy Romance
Tropes/Features: Dark elements, enemies to lovers, bully, friends to lovers, fated mates, rejected mates, angels, incubus, vampire, stepbrother, redemption arc, family secrets, keeping secrets, forgiveness, claimings, ex-drama, group play, bi-awakening FF
Narrator: Multiple 1st Person POV
Relationship Type: Why Choose MMMFMM + new F mate, fast burn, very spicy

An angelic why-choose academic romance with MF, MMM, FF scenes! It's explosive & so freaking good 😍.
Having binged book 2-4, I'm back to update reviews & can say, I loved the series & this is my favorite! They know they're all mates (ah, almost 🧛♀️), The last book left us on a glorious reveal & this starts right in the thick of it! The emotions are high, so is the grovelling! The steam is SPICY & kinky, I love it 😍.
We get time with all the mates, I loved the dates & mate scenes, Soo cute! It's wholesome, character-growth, Heather Downfall, spying, action & packed with feels. I loved that Luke-Noah-Isaac had their cute/steamy moments too as did Abby with Leo & Zed. No one forgot their bonds yay 😭❤️. Will they become a family?
Isaac, man, he was breaking my heart 😭. Without the cocky exterior, he's a broken man. I'm glad he's got the love of his mates. Also, Zed got so many bro/sis bonds 😂. His fam is the best. Isaac & Zed truly are similar in many ways heh. Frankie (sexy female vampire bodyguard right from Hell) the last mate! The FF is good, along with the MMM & MF.
That ending, holy shit, I was expecting it with the blurb of book 4...but ya know that shit still hurts!! Revenge 😈. Michael better not be back frfr. Hate that piece of shit! Z did smart with the blackmail lol, I like good use of technology! Read this within 6hrs. Now onto the finale 🔥.
P.s. Also, I thought reception was bad at Hell, how did Abby call her dad at start 🤔🤨. Did I miss something from book 1?! I didn't skip at all here, but maybe skim/fast read lil! Loved <3

Uh oh
Abbys world is still being rocked upside down left and right. Not only does she have 3 new mates, but there may be a 5th as well. Frankie is sent topside to spy on Michael and make sure abby stays safe on lucifers orders. There's spice galore and a dang cliffhanger ending that has me reeling.

- FMC: Abby
- RH: Leo, Zed, Isaac, Luke, Noah, Frankie (Francesca)
- POVs Included: Abby, Noah, Frankie, Zed, Isaac, Luke, Leo
-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------
SUMMARY: (SPOILER WARNING)
The secrets about what's been going on with Michael abusing Isaac and everything he's been going through are out. Luke, Noah, and Isaac are working their way back into Abby's good graces. And as she gets to know them better, she has another mate waiting to make her appearance.
But while matehood seems to be improving, they have bigger enemies to worry about -- mainly Michael and whatever schemes all their dads have been plotting.
-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------
REVIEW:
First off, gotta say that the whole Zed thing had better be remedied. If he isn't brought back in the next book, it will be an automatic one star for me. Hell no. We don't kill off mates! Especially the best one of them all. No way.
So, I'm going into this review just assuming that he's going to be alive somehow...even though he disintegrated. But it's FINE! Gonna be totally fine. If it's not I am going to be so PISSED.
Now, aside from that craziness, the book was really good. I was so happy to see her reconciling with Luke, Noah, and Isaac. That was great.
I still love all of them, but Zed is my favorite -- especially the threesomes with Zed, Leo, and Abby. Assuming Zed returns, can Leo and Zed just at least touch cocks or something? They're so hot together! I love them.
I will say that I still love Abby, but I don't get why she was more mad at Zed than Frankie for keeping it from her that Frankie is her mate. It seemed really unfair and put a bad taste in my mouth. Poor Zed. He is like the perfect mate and she's always putting him through the wringer in this book.
Now let's talks about Frankie, who was added to the harem in this book. I knew this was coming so I was prepared for it, but FF is not my jam. It's just not. I know a lot of people like it, but I just don't. All men, all day long. Men who also get it on with each other is wonderful. Men getting it on with their woman. I don't care as long as it's one or more man with a single lucky lady. That's just what I like. lol
Still, I do like Frankie for the most part. I like that she's protective of Abby and accepting of Abby's other mates. I just didn't like that she made Zed keep her secret, which got HIM into more trouble than her. Not fair.
Overall though, the book was great. Glad to finally be able to finish this series. But I'm very serious when I say that Zed had better be brought back from the dead in the next book -- and at the beginning of the book, NOT on the last page. Make it happen! This isn't right.

I'm in tears!!!! The ending absolutely wrecked me 😭😭😭
Tainted hearts picks up right where Tained Bonds finished. We learn some pretty devastating things about Isaac and the reason he treated Abby so terrible. It doesn't excuse what he did, but I get why he did it. Abby is such a beautiful person to be willing to give him a second chance and work through it all as well as with Luke and Noah.
It was lovely to finally see Isaac, Noah, and Luke be themselves and finally being accepted for who they are without all bull**** to do with the Heather's and the dads.
We are introduced to Frankie, and she has been sent to earth by Lucifer to watch over his daughter. Frankie, however, has a secret she doesn't want anyone to know about...
Abby begins to grow her relationship with both Noah and Luke, and I love seeing this side of them. It's obvious how much they care about Abby, and I'm so glad we got to see it. Leo is always amazing, but Zed made a few little mistakes that caused a few incidents with Abby. I love Zed, so hopefully, he can make it up to her....
I really love this series, and this book didn't disappoint. I love Abby. She is a total Bada$$. Like I mentioned previously, the ending shattered me, and I hope we don't have to wait long before we see what Abby and her mates do... I really hope they figure out what Michael and the other dads have been up to. There are still so many secrets that I need answers for...
🧚♀️ why choose
🧚♀️ multiple POV
🧚♀️ Fated mates
🧚♀️ Angel's, demons, and everything in between
🧚♀️ found family
🧚♀️ super spicy scenes 🌶🌶🌶

Hot/HOT AND MORE HOT../Heartbreaking..
Let just say that I was very curious of what was going to happen in this book and let me tell you it was not what I had in mind.... it was something that I didn't expected...
I loveeee Abby so much her character is out of this word well she comes from hell LOL but she is amazing. I loved that she took her time with the guys the way she develop the relationship with each of them was chefs kiss. Also that she didn't forgave isaac so fast. He had some groveling and it was needed.
The guys what can I say about Leo and Zed they are amazing the perfect mate. All of what she needed and so much more.
Noah, Luke and Isaac what a character development from book one wow it was really good to see the growth in them. I love how they love each other even when they are on the wrong they are always there for one another.
The new addition blew my mind it was so much needed to spice things up.
The spice let me tell you the spiceeee in this one was fireeeeee.
The story was interesting it got me on the edge there were something that I didn't expected some of them got me mad some of them got me furious and some got my crying my eyes out. The development of the relationship was amazing and the same time there was a story behind it and some twist and turns.
The book was really goooooood but that ending... It got me feeling too much... I can't deal with it is too much for my broken heart... I can't...

This is the third instalment in the Angelic Academy series and was so worth the wait. There is a lot of development in this book; it's definitely the best out of the series so far. As Tainted Hearts starts where Tainted Bonds left off we are immediately dealing with the fallout from Isaac's revelations and everyone's reactions.
I was thrilled at Isaac’s character development in this book. I love a good redemption arc and I was so ready for his comeback as although he's been vile at least Abby and the others understand what has happened to him. I very much enjoyed his sneaky acts of service that he thought no-one knew about it to try and win Abby over. Seeing him, Noah and Luke resolve their issues was a highlight too; I am so invested in them being happy and out from under their dads and the Heathers. Spawny is still my favourite nickname; it totally fits Luke’s character and I love how it has stuck.
Frankie was a welcome addition to this book to balance it out and add in an additional female voice. Frankie's motives were really noble and this was a neat twist . Lucifer is also a stand out character; he's awesome and his plotline is just *chef's kiss*.
There were so many things I did not see coming; one amazing comeuppance and one in particular I'm going to be an ostrich about and hope that it all goes away in the next book. It was all going a bit too well.... *takes deep breath and chants "trust the process"*
My interpretation of the star system;
3 stars - I enjoyed it; would read the author again
4 stars - I really liked it; I am invested and definitely want more from this author/series
5 stars - I loved it; I engaged with this book completely and I have added all the authors works to my TBR!

Oh my god. I can’t even process my thoughts and emotions right now after that ending. This series is amazing. I love all of the characters, even Isaac. Especially now that his secrets are out and he’s done being such a jerk. Isaac, Luke and Noah, together against the world. Except now they don’t have to be against everyone else. They have all grown and come so far since the beginning. I love how they always have each others backs, and love each other no matter what. Zed, bad boy extraordinaire, who adores Abby with every bit of his heart and soul. He’s my favorite, I love him so much. And Leo, sweet sweet Leo who has loved Abby all his life and always gives her the space to connect with her other mates. Sometimes he puts everyone else first too much and luckily he has Abby to make sure his needs are met too. I adore how
Zed and Leo love Abby. They are amazing mates. The other 3 are getting there quickly, they’ve had more to overcome but they’re determined to make Abby never ever regret choosing them. And now Frankie, who has watched and loved Abby from afar for years, finally able to be in her life. I have no idea how we can come back from that ending but I have faith that Alisha will make it amazing. Even though I’m bawling right now lol. It’ll be worth it in the end!

Tainted Hearts
In Tainted Hearts we follow as Abby navigates live with her fated mates. We already know that Abby sealed the bond with Zed and Leo. Now she is getting to know Luke, Noah, and Isaac better and working to forgive them. We learn a lot about why these three, especially Isaac, act the way they do. Can they earn Abby's trust? Can Abby forgive the horrible things they have done and accept them as her mates? I'm not going to spill the beans but I will say that there are a lot of twists and turns before we find out if Abby seals the bond with her newest three fated mates. Oh but that's not all! Remember Frankie from book two? Well she's back in this book and there is a lot more to her story! Will Abby accept Frankie as a friend? We know from book two that there is a physical attraction between Frankie and Abby. Could there be more? Could Frankie become one of Abby's mates? As Tainted Hearts progresses we learn a lot more about all of the characters. Some of it's great but some is heart breaking. The world building and character development is top notch! As always Alisha Williams ends this book with a huge cliffhanger. I can't wait for book three to see what happens with Abby, her harem, her friends, her family, and her enemies...

Can Abby forgive the horrible things they have done and accept them as her mates? I'm not going to spill the beans but I will say that there are a lot of twists and turns before we find out if Abby seals the bond with her newest three fated mates. Oh but that's not all! Remember Frankie from book two? Well she's back in this book and there is a lot more to her story! Will Abby accept Frankie as a friend? We know from book two that there is a physical attraction between Frankie and Abby. Could there be more? Could Frankie become one of Abby's mates? As Tainted Hearts progresses we learn a lot more about all of the characters. Some of it's great but some is heart breaking. The world building and character development is top notch! As always Alisha Williams ends this book with a huge cliffhanger. I can't wait for book three to see what happens with Abby, her harem, her friends, her family, and her enemies...

Emotional in so many ways!!
This third book in the series really sees Abby’s harem coming together as a unit 🥰 after the explosion of secrets on the last book Andre knows he has some serious making up to do, not just with her but his guys as well 😣
There’s a lot of grovelling in this book (YAYYY!) and rightly so, Abby sees es it after everything she has been put though. Luke, Noah and Isaac pull out all the stops and they’re definitely swoonworthy 🥰🥰 on top of that Abby has to to find time balancing those new bonds with Leo and Zed 😄 and there might be a surprise newcomer in the mix too 😯
On top of that they’re beginning to realise that there’s more to Michael than meets the eye and he definitely is NOT a good Angel 😬😬
Despite building a family (one with complicated connections at that….you’ll see 😂) it’s not all plain sailing! With mistakes being made can they forgive before it’s too late?! Be warned you will be shedding tears at that cliffie!! 😭😭😭

Let me tell you I had a lot of bad words for Alisha when I got to the end of this book! However, bringing out the kind of strong emotions I felt is totally a sign of well written book for me. Even with a broken heart, I can tell you I really loved this book.
The biggest thing that really made me happy with this book was the development of Noah and Luke’s characters as well as their relationship with Abby. I didn’t feel invested in them until this book so that, along with Isaac cleaning up his act and a new addition to Abby’s harem, really brought everything together.
That being said, everything is far from settled! This ending was chaotic and packed with drama. I was bawling my eyes out and I really need Alisha to hurry up and fix this!
I’ve really loved this series this far but this book was definitely the best. As upset as it made me, I couldn’t put it down. I’m super picky with PNR but this is one for my list of favorites!

Raise your hand if you have been personally victimised by Alisha Williams. *everyone who has read this book raises hand* I should have known when I was enjoying the developing relationships between Abby and her mates especially the maturity of Issac, Luke and Noah that everything was too good to be true and that I should be prepared for heartbreak. That cliffhanger - so unfair!
Heartbreak aside, this was a fantastic continuation to the series. The twists and turns keep you engaged and on the edge of your seat the whole way through and I loved the different dynamic that Frankie brought to the group, if she has an opening for a BFF you best believe I will fight anyone for it.
The spicy scenes, as always with Alisha, were absolutely on point and delicious. Abby is a very lucky girl!
This series just gets better as it goes along but I am praying for my HEA in the next book, not sure my heart can take any more!

Things happened in this book that I was not expecting and that made me want to pull out my hair lol! This book gave me all the feels! EVERYTHING! I swear I wanted to throw a tantrum a little bit lol. I thought things would go one way and they went opposite the next!
I absolutely love and adore these characters…. Sometimes Isaac. I literally want to shake him though lol! One thing I loved about Abby is the way she didn’t forgive Isaac right away. He had to grovel and I loved that!
One thing I really enjoyed was the new addition! Things got wild and it was much needed to spice this baby up lol.
Spice? Hell yes! How much? You’re gonna have to read to find out! 😉 but the fire and passion had my cheeks red a few times lol.
Over all, this book was REALLY good! I throughly enjoyed it and can’t wait for the next one! But that ending threw me for a doozy! Definitely wasn’t expecting that! Wanna know? Read to find out more! 🥰

Nooo, why, why, why😭 that ending was brutal, but I know there has to be a method to the madness, right. Ugh this series has been totally heart wrenching, hot af with those spicy scenes holy hotness🥵. This is the 3rd book in the Angelic Academy series and picks up where it left off at where Abby and the rest of the guy's finally realize what Isaac had been going through with his dad plus Luke and Noah and eventually Isaac realize they were wrong about Abby and want to be her mates, but they got some groveling to do, and Isaac well he has some major kissa$$ to be doing. Now there's a new interest in town that her father sent to keep an eye on her and Michael as he doesn't trust him. I don't blame him, because he's been up to something. With what happened at the end the final book is going to get very interesting and I can't wait for it. This is absolutely a must read it's not a standalone so it can't be read separately unless you've read the other book's.

I received a copy of this arc in exchange for my honest review.
The Queen of reverse harem nails it again! Book 3 in the Angelic Academy series, and I am left with so many emotions!
These characters and their story have come so far since we were introduced to Abby and her mates in book one. So much growth from all of them. I love how far Isaac has come in his relationship with her. I love Abby’s relationship with her mates, the hotness level and steam, I WASN’T READY. This girl may be one of the luckiest females walking this earth currently. 🥵
I couldn’t put this down once I picked it up. I love this magical world Alisha has created and am on the edge of my seat after that cliffhanger of an ending. WHYYYYY DID THAT HAVE TO HAPPEN!?
The ending was heartbreaking, I still am reeling from that! I need book 4 stat.
Absolutely addicting, and a must read!
Love love LOVE!

Grab your tissues. The third book in the Angelic Academy series is here and Alisha Williams will break your heart.
Tainted Hearts will pick up where book two left off. As they all face the reality of the abuse that Isaac met at the hands of his father, they will see him in a different light. While Luke and Noah find it easier to forgive him, Zed quickly takes on the big brother role. Leo tried to step back a bit so Abby can become closer with Luke, Noah, and eventually Isaac. Then, you’ve got the addition of Freddie, the red-haired beauty who was sent by Lucifer, himself, to ensure Abby’s safety. When Zed finds something that he thinks will rid them of Michael, they think they are free. But are they? Or will the unthinkable happen?
This book is amazing. All the hotness we come to expect from this author, but there will be a world of pain that you experience with the cliffhanger.

Tainted hearts book 3 of the Angelic Academy series where we had our girl Abby build such stronger relationships with all her guys. I really liked getting to know more about Luke and Noah character and I love them already they are such an amazing part of the relationship. Also this book has such great grovelling and I love how Abby doesn’t accept Lucas’s apology straight away, there is nothing worse when they are forgiven straight away and here I am still fuming hahah!
The third book you see all the bonds start to level out and bond together and my two favourites Leo and Zed help her along the way. Frankie!! Umm HELLO she popped out and I absolutely love this fiery red head already, I cannot wait for the next book!
ALSO that cliffhanger, that was brutal I don’t know how I am going to survive waiting for book 4!!

My heart is pounding after that ending! It was so intense and not at all what I seen coming. The third book is so heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. There’s no way you can make it to the end without feeling multiple emotions throughout the whole thing. Idk how I’m gonna survive waiting for the next one to come out, I was already tortured the first two times. This tho, tops the cake. Although on the pleasant side of it, so much love and passion between everyone. All the moments together were so special. The spice was absolutely breathtakingly incredible. I personally would love this series to never end. I’ve never been so attached and in love with characters as I am with this series.

Abby is living my dream with all those delicious mates of hers!! So much development happens in this book I was screaming! The twists and turns kept me unable to put the book down!
Abby is so much more powerful than even she knows I think and omg I can not wait to see her flourish in her bad@ss b¡tch era!! Leo and Zed are mate goals and the others are growing on me too!
Noah, Luke & Isaac show soooo much growth in this book and I might have a bit of a crush on Luke 😍
The spice in this book is incredible. Like omg what a ride. Literally 😏 🔥
This book ends on a cliffhanger that left me gutted. My heart is so so heartbroken. I am sobbing!! But you should 100% read this book anyways because it is so freaking good!! 🥰

I was so excited to get back in the story with Abby and her chaotic life with her new mates! It did not disappoint! We got more 🌶️ scenes and group action! Now we have a new character in the mix, and I'm not mad about it! Abby’s father sends in reinforcements in the form of a Vampire Guard from Hell and turns out she’s coming in at the right time. Frankie! We leave a lot about her including her being Zed’s best friend.
We also get to see big bad Issac grovel his way into Abby’s good graces and things are starting to look good, Complete in Abby’s eyes! Until it’s not! Why! Why was the ending soul crushing?! I did not see this coming! My heart hurts! The cliffy ripped my heart out! Alisha, you better be preparing to put a lot of hearts back together in book 4!

This series has been one hell of a ride (pun not intended)
We have Abby our beautiful princess from hell and her multiple mates, even if some of them are douchewaffles (cough,cough Isaac)
But this book well let me tell you now, I'm not happy with that ending, you can't give with one hand and take with another lol.
Don't get me wrong that thing was gonna happen sooner or later and I cheered for that reason but that other thing yh no wasn't ready for that.
Cannot wait for book 4 now because I'm praying you turn around that bad thing and make it beautiful again
Love you Alisha but you are mean lol

I am screaming right now and I am not ok.
Ms Williams you cannot have these characters back until you learn to play nice. Like how dare you?
I am absolutely just in love with Abby and all her sexy AF mates. I absolutely love Luke and Noah. They're just so good to Abby, it took a hot minute but they are all in with her. Even Isaac crept out from under that shit list pile of rocks I placed him on.
And someone new has popped up and I'm here for it. Frankie is different but I adore her.
There's some sinister things about to happen. It's not all sunshine and rainbows for the princess of Hell. And I cannot wait.
I'm still hoping that cliffhanger was a bad dream.

I honestly can't even get through this review without crying. I was not prepared for that ending. I haven't cried that hard during a scene since reading the Ravenhood and carnage series. I was so happy before that though. Everything was coming together so well, we got a new character and she really had Abby's back. 5he guys finally grew up and The truth of what Issac was hiding finally out in the open. You learned so much in this book, from the truth about Abby's mom then her dad joined them for the the holiday. So much happened. It was a great book, but that ending was my undoing, im still crying.

🔥🔥🔥🥵🥵🥵
This series is getting better and better with every book, I am hooked and obsessed.
Abby really is going through it with her mates, after how the previous book went down, things are clicking into place.
I loved the progression of Luke, Noah and Isaac and how they really put Abby first and wow, those guys as a unit MHMMMM🫠🔥🥵
Abby is an absolute firecracker of a character, do you expect anything else from the princess of hell?
Of course it isn’t a Alisha Williams book without hurt feeling and a cliff hanger that literally catapult you over the edge into the abyss, I am shocked, I can’t process my emotions…. Next book please????????

Wow. Just wow. I was so excited to get this book! Actually clapping may have happened. I love the whole dream walking concept. It's such a great way for Abby to see how the guys really are and how they interact with one another when she is not around. It's an amazing way to add depth to the characters. I am obsessed with Frankie. We should be able to add another star to this review just for her character and with the new and improved Isaac, it was like two new mates. The steam is this book is definitely 10/10. I have to also admit this book has a be all end all mega cliffy at the end. I was screaming! I need the next book yesterday!

We need to talk about Abby. This poor girl keeps getting hit with surprises and crappy situations. In the first 2 books we had to deal with the nightmare that is her mother and being away from home but it was made better by Zed and Leo. Then there was the bully step brother and his best friends that are all now her mates...queue the grovelling. Things are looking up when surprise another mate. And a step father pretending to be holy but is actually the monster under the bed. The cliffhanger gutted me and I'm genuinely upset about it. My fingers are crossed that there's a happy ever after for everyone and that God makes a surprise cameo and smites Michael for being a POS.

amazing!
there's no doubt in my mind that alisha Williams could ever do a book that doesn't slap! and she never has especially with this latest installment in her angelic academy series!
in this one it follows the reveal of the last book with Michael revealing that he's got something bad in the works abby finds herself relying on her mates more than before but can she bring her three other newly revealed mates into the fold? and will they accept her as she is? and more on the fact will the last one be able to tell her how they feel and be accepted in return? and can she defeat her newest enemy once and for all or will they fall? find out today!

I was so excited to get this book and see what happened after that cliffhanger and wow it was amazing!! This installment had some amazing groveling, redemption and good old smexy scenes! I felt like this book was a breath of fresh air for all the characters as they all got to get things off their cheats and people also understood where some people "cough cough" Issac was coming from. Also the added bonus of another female character in Frankie was nice as well. Now of course there is no way everything is all wrapped up with a bow as there is the next book so I am happy to stay in bliss till the next one!!
