There was one line that was misogynistic and I didn't really like that. The main character constantly made poor decisions that put herself in danger and that was really tiresome. Other than those two things, I enjoyed everything else in this book.
This book has action, spicy scenes, and funny banter between the main character and her love interest.
I'm giving this book a 4 out of 5 stars.

I was worried as it’s a bit older series but I throughly enjoyed it. I listened on audio & will continue with the series that way.

The first book does a good job in introducing the world and the characters, and shows us the dynamics between immortals and mortals. Elena and Raphael are an awesome pair. It's fun to go back to the beginning to the series after knowing what they're like together later on in the series.
The plot was creepy. There are a few side plots woven through this, and it makes you keep wanting to read to find out what Elena will face next.

The romance is kind of insta-lovey but then again Elena and Raphael‘s relationship grows in the other books.
This series has many flaws and I wouldn’t recommend continuing if you don’t like the first one but if you liked it prepare for a series full of emotion and action. It’s a good series to read on the side if you need something not that complicated or are crazy for anything angel-related that’s not necessarily religious (like I am. I’m always up for recommendations in that area) then this book (series will provide you with an amazing read!
