"Divine Merit" was a new unique take on the Nephilim world.
A paranormal offering which I enjoyed much more than I originally thought I would.
This tale revolves around The Princess, Amira and the head of her royal guard and longtime crush Caeden.
It's full of the charm of a budding first relationship.
Whilst also the intrigues and power play of a royal court in action.
What started out as an easy read for me quickly evolved into a much more tangled web than I was originally expecting.
And once this pepped up it was non stop action throughout and a storyline that certainly kept me on my toes and more.
This book was definitely a pleasant surprise it contained well rounded likeable individuals as well as your classic villains and also had plenty of scope for further storyline development and growth.
I am so looking forward to seeing where this is headed and what lies in store for all as the plot develops.
Do give this a go, its a fantastic addition to its genre and if you like your paranormal these ones for you.
Thank You to the Author for providing me with an ARC of "Divine Merit" of which I have reviewed voluntary.
All opinions expressed are entirely my own.

I love a good 'ole paranormal romance book and reading the blurb to this I thought it would be great. I got hooked from page one but then it slowly got boring and predictable.
Princess is in love with someone she shouldn't want, tragic even occurs, bad person comes and does terrible things. The good people win and the Princess ends up with her love.
Even though it was quite predictable, I did enjoy it. I found myself wanting to read more, to find out where the story would go.
I have to say I couldn't connect to the characters which I think greatly effected my feelings reading the book. Amira was a Princess that everyone saw as young and naive and half the time she was. Going off and doing stupid things. She did grow throughout the book, but I just didn't like the way she was.
She had this need to prove herself and to be it only made her seem more immature.
While I liked the Royal Guard and some of the men had me laughing, I can't quite put my finger on why I didn't like Caedean. He just didn't connect with me.
I'm interested to read the next book to see where the author will take the story.
