My thoughts: Let me
start by saying I loved this book. It
had a nice steady pace that kept you wanting more. The interaction between the 3 main characters;
Elijah, Castiel, and Sophia is believable.
This book is the second book in the Elijah Hael series however, you do
not need to have read the first book to get this story it is completely stand
alone. This book was very emotional and
I did find myself crying so be prepared for that. Character development was spot on pacing was
excellent and the story was engaging and immersive. I just wish that it had ended that is really
my only complaint I love falling into Elijah Hael’s universe. Again I can not state how much I truly enjoyed this book!!!
Rating 9.5/10
Recommendation: Genuinely good writing and story telling
seekers will find what they are looking for with this book. Fans of the Elijah Hael series will love this
installment.
