I won the first two books of this series in a raffle at the 2015 Readers and Writers Author Signing in the Gold Coast in Australia, and these two books have spent more time travelling in shipping containers! AU to UK then UK to NZ, then NZ to UK!!!!So I am about to move again and I was told to cut down my book haul (only Signed and out of print books are allowed… Trade paperbacks were to go – YES THERE WERE TEARS! But when the cost of international shipping is as expensive as it is I have no choice), so I have a TBR of Paperbacks to read and redistribute to other book lovers before I move again!SO I mistakenly read DEMON first OOPS!!! I should have googled the reading order (it’s not made clear in the paperback) but other than knowing the fate of one of the characters in Book 1 it didn’t make much difference to my reading pleasure, but I would recommend you read BOOK 1 Raziel first!)This book is told in dual POV, and its not chapter by chapter, the indication of the switch is with the first few words of the first line in the paragraph being capitalized. This wasn’t a problem for me, and I could tell the switch by the personality of the characters changing too. I really like how the Author has managed to create such dimensional characters as she wrote these stories, The Angels come across so Unemotional, Above human frailties after eons of existence, but that they are also loveable…I mean the Author wants us readers to ‘want’ her characters as our ‘book boyfriends’ afterall.I liked Allie from the start, she was a character I could relate too, and when destiny happens and she meets Raziel, I smiled at her thoughts, actions and general ‘go with the flow’ attitude that she had when her world tipped upside down.Raziel - well he is a bit of a unfeeling Fallen Angel, stubborn as Allie, and he was sure slow at dealing with the reasons of why he rescued Allie from hellfire against Uriel’s orders.I enjoyed being along for the ride as they deal with the realities of their meeting. As they begin to deal with their personal issues there is also the situation that the Fallen are facing from wrath brought by Raziel’s disobedience, and unfortunately the rest of the Fallen blame Allie for the ferocious Nephilim (Ms Douglas has an entirely different vision from mine of what a Nephilim is, they are still a mysterious evil foot soldier for Uriel by the end of Book 2 also) clawing at the kingdom’s shrouded gates. By the end of the book, Allie and Raziel have to deal with both their feelings and the safety of the rest of the Fallen and their wives.As I said, I knew the outcome of this book before I started, but I enjoyed it because I got to know the rest of the characters that are part of the Fallen Angels and I will be searching out Book 3 in my local library when I finally move in August. (Yes, I have a book buying Ban enforced too! – it’s a good job I love my hubby as much as I do!)
