Product Description:


Eden didn't expect Az.


Not his saunter down the beach toward her. Not his unbelievable pick up line. Not the instant, undeniable connection. And not his wings.


Yeah.


So long happily-ever-after.


Now trapped between life and death, cursed to spread chaos with her every touch, Eden could be the key in the eternal struggle between heaven and hell. All because she gave her heart to one of the Fallen, an angel cast out of heaven.


She may lose everything she ever had. She may be betrayed by those she loves most. But Eden will not be a pawn in anyone else's game. Her heart is her own.


And that's only the beginning of the end.

 
My Thoughts:

Wow.  I'm trying to think of how to write this review, and that is all that comes to my head, just wow!  This book was so intense, so crazy, so exciting.  I flew through this book in record time and it left me dying for more!

This is not just another angel book.  This is a whole new paranormal type that is in a league of it's own.  I don't want to spoil anything, so I can't tell you what our new paranormal is, but I absolutely loved it.  Eden is a great lead female.  She was so strong, and so smart.  There was a great tete a tete that went on between her and another character throughout where one would say a qoute from a poem, and the other would guess who wrote it.  I loved trying to see if I could figure it out as well.  (They are so much smarter than me....lol).  Eden was deterinded and independent, but also knew when to lean on others to make herself stronger. 

Our male leads in this book were great as well, although my favorite guy wasn't even the love interest!  They were so smart and sexy.  They were also completely mysterious and kept me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what had actually happened and what might happen next.

This book had a really dark feel to it, but it wasn't heavy or hard to read.  I loved the dark and crazy feel.  The ending was amazing!  I loved that a lot of the threads were wrapped up, but I was left hanging on the edge of the cliff, dying for more.  The ending was so shocking that I'm still reeling from it!  This book releases tomorrow and I'm telling you all that you NEED to go and get a copy now!!!  You won't regret it!
