I was torn by this one. It definitely wasn't YA as I had thought, but that really doesn't bother me. It was an ARC, so it definitely wasn't perfect, which again, isn't too much of a problem for me. The synopsis got me, a book about a fallen angel? I rarely see books about that and I was excited. However... there was a little disconnect for me. I couldn't really find a main character, it was a little scattered. However, I did like the plot and story. My rating is 2.5 rounded up to 3. Thank you to NetGalley for my ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Let me start by saying that this is definitely not a YA novel, it is NA or adult and I thinks that it's misclassified on several sites.  Also, this is not a polished, perfected novel, it has not been edited by professionals and there are some mistakes and at times it makes it rough to read and seem somewhat silly.  However, I don't read books looking for perfection, especially books by new authors; if the book holds my attention and entertains me without me having to stop and reread and or reword it to do so I am happy. 

The author clearly states that her heroine is a snarky, bad-mouthed female and she is, but at times she carries it a little too far.  Ezekiel is an angel, who was banished to Earth, with his wings intact for failing to tell Father that Lucifer was planning to attempt a coup, but this may not be the real reason.  In his defense, he knew that Lucifer was a hothead who often said things and didn't follow through and he thought this was the situation.  Now he has an chance of returning to heaven if he will work with the Prophetess (Isabelle) and stop the demon Moloch from being released from hell so he can release Lucifer.  Isabelle has a big chip on her shoulders, which the authors does explain in this first book, she is angry at God and she hates angels and she lets Ezekiel know this from the start. 

My biggest problems with this book is that in many ways it reads like a urban fantasy Harlequin, everyone is beautiful, you know the hate is going to turn into love and everyone is some shade of color.  There is no mention of ethnicity, just the hue their skin which I found disturbing in this day and age.  I did finish and enjoyed enough that is I saw the sequel was available before I forget it I would read it. 

3.25/5 STARS:  **This is an honest, unbiased review.  I would like to thank the author and/or/publisher for providing an ARC through Netgalley, all opinions are mine.**

First, I would like to state that I got this arc from netgalley for an honest reivew.

Second, there is a disclaimer about the female protagonist being a potty mouth with abrasive language. If you don't like that, this novel is not for you. I love it, so I kept going!

It took me some time to get into the book because the way the angels talked, it sounded like teeange boys instead of angels from two millennia (and sixteen years) ago and it kind of turned me off from the book. Plus the way God acted was kind of... I don't know, not God-like, I suppose?

But I pushed through, hoping it would get better.

It didn't. I'm sorry, I liked the idea. I really did. It sounded so good, it sounded like a fun read that I would read through with ease, but I couldn't.

I like your ideas, so please keep writing. Please keep coming up with more stories!
