They’re both desperate to find a doctor who can reverse the twisted changes inflicted by the angels on Raffe and Penryn’s sister. As they set off in search of answers, a startling revelation about Raffe’s past unleashes dark forces that threaten them all.

When the angels release an apocalyptic nightmare onto humans, both sides are set on a path toward war. As unlikely alliances form and strategies shift, who will emerge victorious? Forced to pick sides in the fight for control of the earthly realm, Raffe and Penryn must choose: Their own kind, or each other? 

The review is going to be short and sweet.

Simply put, I like it more then I liked the second book. Click here to read my review of book 1 and here to read my review of book 2.

My opinions of the characters are the same. Pretty surprised at myself for still liking Penryn. Normally the heroine annoys me after book 2. However, she still has the same fire and stamina as she did in the beginning. She is still a rocking chick.

Raff.  AWWWW Raff. Yep, I’ve found my soul mate. Nuff said!

All in all, the book did seem slightly rushed, especially the ending and I have my theories on why that was. But it was good. Not amazing like the first book but not bad like the second book. There were the major action scenes and of course the romance scenes. I loved the part with the fallen watchers and I was kind of disappointed with what happens to Raff at the ending.

I also liked how Penryn’s mother and sister grew and became who they were. They didn’t reply on Penryn at the end by decided to make their own way in life.

***THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT READ THE FIRST BOOK***

I really enjoyed reading this book however, not as much as I LOVED this first book. Check out my review for it here.

Okay, so this book picks up straight away from the first book where Penryn is paralysed from the effects of those vicious, disgusting scorpion angels.

I still loved Penryn. I think she’s such a kick ass character, for a human, and she’s got guts to go ahead and do whatever is right. She’s also got a humour, which is always a plus in a dystopian(ish) book.

I LOVED, LOVED, LOVEDDDDDD RAFFE!!!! Even more so here (I think). He shows a much more vulnerable side, especially through the flash backs that Penryn receives from his sword. And when he see’s Penryn for the first time in this book (after he though she was dead) at the party.....ARGHHHH!!!!! His expression is just priceless!!!!!! Why can’t I find someone like him!!!

Paige plays a much more prominent figure in this book, coming to terms with her condition and acknowledging the fact that she’ll never fit into this world. It’s kind of heart breaking when reading about her, especially since she’s so young! But by the end of the book, Paige realises what kind of control she has over certain things......

Penryn’s mom is still hilarious what with her lipstick and her never-ending rotten eggs. However,  I do think that she’s going to play a much bigger role in the coming up books.

All in all, I liked this book but not as much as the first book. Nothing really happened until the last couple of chapter where the pace seemed to be getting faster and the actual story line was illustrated. Majority of the time, it was just talking about Penryn and her visions she was getting from the sword.

However, it’s still a good book and I’m really excited to read the next one!

“I look up to say something but he puts his finger to my lips and whispers, “Don’t talk. You’ll just spoil my fantasy of rescuing an innocent damsel in distress as soon as you open your mouth.”
