Nephilim the Awakening
Elizabeth Blackthorne
Urban Fantasy Romance
When I told my ex to go to hell, how was I supposed to know that’s where he’d come from?
Now he’s back in my life, and the heat between us is as consuming as ever. He’s a fallen angel, an agent for an organisation that apparently keeps the peace between Heaven and Hell, who’s been assigned to find my missing mother. Turns out she was a witch and someone has taken her.
Oh and that hot surfer guy I went home with last night? He’s my ex’s partner and a wolf shifter who seems to enjoy making my ex jealous. I’m totally up for that too.
Add in a sexy Russian nerd who’s sustenance comes in red liquid form and his dark demon boyfriend who seems intent on drawing me into their dark embrace and things are getting complicated. And steamy.
This new world has my head spinning, and it seems I’m not quite as human as I thought. But as to what I am exactly… that’s the million-dollar question. There are some theories that could land my soul in the eternal hot seat just for being me and as lines blur between the good guys and the bad guys, figuring out who to trust becomes a game of supernatural roulette.
Will the men in my bed and in my heart betray me once they find out what I am? Or will our love release a darkness on the world that could bring the wrath of Heaven and Hell down upon us?
Uncaged Review: When I first started reading this book, I wondered what I had gotten myself into. Our main character Faith, is not the badass the author wants her to be, at least not when you start out. She seems like she’s overly strong-willed and it’s a little bit of a put off. But once you dig deeper into the book, you find out why she’s the way she is, even if some of her reactions are a bit overdone. This is a twisted, dark fantasy romance that is setting up to be a reverse harem, and there is some MM and MMF action in this book. There is also some mentions of rape and torture for those that may trigger.
This turns into a very good story, with characters that are all very different and we see the growth of Faith as she finds out about the supernatural world and herself. This is not good vs. evil in the traditional sense, as some demons are not bad in this book, but the bad ones are truly despicable. As Faith navigates her new life, we will see how the twists and turns will get answered. This is a four book series and all are out now. Reviewed by Cyrene
