Liam and Dianna are both centuries old on the other side of a war. Neither are really where they want to be. Just floating.
Liam captures Dianna and they agree to work together to find a book.
Enemies to lovers

Wow, what a book! It took some time to start it (RL sucks sometimes) but once I started I could stop. It was addictive af!! Dianna and Liam are just awesome and the story is as well!!
I really wanted to read a book where the female protagonist is the villain and I wasn't let down. Dianna isn't the good girl. Sure, she isn't bad bad but she is definitely not good. And Liam is.. I don't know how to describe him. Once a fuck boy and now a traumatized "hard shell, soft core" kinda guy. And I'm down for that combination!
The plot was interesting and I couldn't predict most of it, so well done! As I said, it was addictive! I'm so excited for the second book!

A world exquisitely constructed, with a wide variety of supernatural creatures. A resilient and powerful protagonist: a beautiful and deadly monster, with an all-too-human heart.
A God who has renounced to himself.
A world to save
A love story.
What more can you ask for from a book?
The three stars are for the writing, which didn't always feel up to par with the story it wanted to tell. Even so, I'm looking forward to the possibility of enjoying the author next projects.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

.....


Un mundo exuberante en su construcción, con una amplia variedad de criaturas sobrenaturales. Una protagonista resiliente y poderosa hasta más allá de la razón: un monstruo hermoso y letal, con un corazón demasiado humano.
Un dios que ha renunciado a sí mismo.
Salvar el mundo.
Una historia de amor.
¿Qué más se puede pedir de un libro?

Las tres estrellas son por la escritura, que no siempre se sintió a la altura de la historia que quería contar. Aún así, espero ansiosa por la posibilidad de disfrutar de las próximas entregas de la autora.

Gracias a NetGalley y la editorial por concederme un ARC a cambio de una reseña honesta

If you like the writing of Sarah J mad then you’ll love this. This book feels like all her book pushed into one big book. You will not regret buying this book.

I loved this book! The plot line was so unique and addictive. I can’t wait till the next book! The author did such a great job with the world building and absolutely holding my attention in a death grip.

Wow! This was such a rollercoaster of emotions. It was addictive, sexy, and absolutely riveting! I love love love The Book of Azrael so much. It may possibly make it onto my list of favorite books I read this year. The worldbuilding was superb- giving readers enough information about this world we are thrust into without bombarding us with too much information. While the length of the book had me pause in starting, once I read that first page, I knew I wouldn't even notice how many pages pass by. It was one of those books that readers can lose themselves in and not wake up until it is finished (if that makes sense). The characters were detailed, complex, and flawed. There were morally gray characters everywhere and I loved it. This book had so much going for it and it delivered and then some! An enemies to lovers romance with a slow-burn relationship! Fantastic action sequences! The ultimate road trip! The one bed trope! Snarky vampires! The list can go on forever- it was just such an entertaining and unforgettable book. I am on the edge of my seat just waiting to hear news of the sequel now. The Book of Azrael is a powerful fantasy romance that is sure to become a new favorite. I'm looking forward to reading more by Amber Nicole in the future!

When reading other reviewers’ thoughts on Goodreads, I’m actually wondering whether we read the same book. I see everyone giving this book 4, 4.5, or 5 stars and I’m really wondering why. I thought about how to review this book very long, I thought about ways to perhaps make my 2-star review into a 3-star review, but I just can’t do it and I will explain why.
This book has 841 pages, where it could have easily told the same story with only 200-300 pages. There is a lot of information that doesn’t actually tell a story or contributes to the main point of the story and it felt very useless to read these parts. The story was told with many more words than needed, which resulted in long and confusing sentences and losing track of the story easily.
Moreover, the sexual activity and tension in the novel felt useless and forced. It was definitely not needed for the story and in my opinion only denigrated the female lead. At times she was described as some sort of sl*t who sacrificed herself to the man who saved her and her sister in order for her sister to have a great life. It was unnecessary for the story, since she could have had the exact same position in his army, but then without the sex, and the story would have the same impact. The romance with the second man was less useless, but also described in too much detail. It was not needed for the plot.
The plottwists in the story were unexpected, without warning and useless. They were not surprising in a positive manner to the plot, but they caused confusion and weird situations.
Why, then, did I still give the story 2 stars? Well, I did like the character building and the fantasy creatures. The characters were well-developed and each had unique features, but were still connected to each other in one or more ways. The creatures were original and had some addition to the plot, so that, I did like.
However, when evaluating all these points, I just can’t give the story more than 2 stars and I also cannot recommend this book. I just did not like it at all and I am a fervent Fantasy reader.

A very popular Booktok recommendation - and I can see why. A romance, fantasy with twists and turns that kept me glued to my kindle until I finished.

I could not put this book down!! I read it all in less than a day because the story had me wanting more and more! The world building and the story line was so fun and unlike anything I had read lately! The author is 100% going on my must buy list and I can not wait to read more from her in the future!! Also totally need more books in this as a series!

this book was absolutely amazing! The characters are so well written and I loved the world building.

A friend recommended it to me and I’m so happy I got to read it.

Oh my God…
This book was almost perfect. The intensity the slow burn, my favorite troupes (enemy’s to lovers, forbidden love, one bed, touch them I’ll kill you) 😍 Ahhh and the cliffhanger of an ending killed 🔥🔥 when’s the next book cause I neeed it now!

Such amazing writing for a debut. Book of Azriel is dark, steamy and captivating. A surprising cast of characters and unique storyline.

This book took me a while to get into. When I first received this ARC from NetGalley, I could not get into it.
However, I have now finished it and I have my review.

I LIKED IT...but there is room for improvement
Dianna sold her life and humanity to save the life of her sister. She was transformed into a high-functioning weapon tasked to find The Book of Azrael (roll credits ;)).
Liam is the king of the gods. He is forced back into the living realm after one of his soldiers died.
The two of them together does produce a beautiful enemies-to-lovers with angst and slow burn. (I did wish there was more spice)

I will say this; Diana is not a villain... at least not yet. I am hoping that she continues to develop into one.
It is also evident that this needs to be run through an editor again.
I felt like sometimes was given whiplash.

Overall: 3.25/5

[ 5 stars ]
”Then, Samkiel, you will know this is how the world ends
But it was not this world.
No, it was mine.
It was Dianna.”

DNF

This book has excellent reviews and hopefully is proving to be a success but I struggled to get into it I am afraid. I found the opening too confusing and found it a struggle. I’m sorry.

I have awarded it 3 stars as the blurb sounds fantastic and I know there are other readers out there who will love it.

Okay the beginning was a bit slow but once I got into it WHEW. I loved it. The BANTER. The spice. The ENEMIES TO LOVERS. It was soooo good and I can't WAIT for the next book.

I was so hyped to read this one but I didn’t love it but I will definitely give it another go and a second chance for any sequels!
Thank you so much to netgalley and the publisher for the early access to this book.

Not the book for me but I would recommend it and by it in for the library. And I truly hope it dose well.

Amazing read that had me captivated from start to finish! From the moment I start until I finished I couldn’t put it down!

Where's the second book? I need it right about now.

Finally an enemies-to-lovers novel worthy of its name! I loved the snarky x grumpy dynamic the MCs had going on, I loved their chemistry and the pretences that brought them together. This book is almost close to perfection.

This book is well-written and well-structured, the plot unravels at a consistent pace that has been a pleasure to read!

I'll obviously be back for more!!
