J.R. Ward

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

#1 New York Times bestselling author J.R. Ward explores what really happens when good and evil toy with humanity in her new novel of the Fallen Angels, as the salvation of a doomed soul depends once again on a crossroads... When Cait Douglass resolves to get over her broken heart, throw off her inhibitions, and start really living, she’s unprepared for the two sensual men who cross her path. Torn between them, she doesn’t know which to choose—or what kind of dire consequences could follow. Jim Heron, fallen angel and reluctant savior, is ahead in the war, but he puts everything at risk when he seeks to make a deal with the devil—literally. As yet another soul is unwittingly caught in the battle between him and the demon Devina, his fixation on an innocent trapped in Hell threatens to sidetrack him from his sacred duty... Can good still prevail if true love makes a savior weak? And will a woman’s future be the key, or the curse, for all of humanity? Only time, and hearts, will tell.

    Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

    As always with this series, there may be spoilers to previous books in the series in this review but there will not be spoilers for this book. Proceed with caution if you haven’t read the previous books yet. These stories are a continuation of each other and should not be read out of order.

    At the end of Rapture, Jim went to Devina with a huge ask that will give her a leg up. It doesn’t do much for Team Angel other than help Jim with his obsession and guilt. Within the first few chapters of this book, we find out if Devina grants Jim’s request (she does…that’s not a spoiler because there wouldn’t be a story without this fact) and the ramifications of that. Some of the consequences I did not see coming!

    For me, having Sissy play into this story in a more tangible way changed the whole tone of the series. I mean that in a good way. I was invested in her reactions to what happened to her and the grit she showed by the end. She still ends up being a huge distraction for Jim, and even Adrian, but I think she will end up an asset when all is said and done.

    The story of Cait and her two beaus drew me in right away. I wasn’t happy with the secrets Duke kept, but I still loved his character. And though the vibe I got from both Duke and G.B. was pretty obvious as an outside observer (ie. the reader), it made sense that Cait was confused. Plus, I needed more than the initial meetings to know if my gut was telling me the truth about them. Regardless of my gut or Cait’s gut, I couldn’t help but root for Duke from the beginning. G.B. was too smug. Duke is confident and aggressive, but not smug.

    There’s only one book left in this war of good vs. evil. I truly hope I get to see Devina not only lose but get destroyed in the process.
