another comfortable fantasy

it's hard to beat romance and angels....

Loses a star for being occasionally frustrating - I mean, I know Luce is only 17, but she can be pretty dumb when it comes to making the right call when it comes to boys. Also, plot a little too convenient/predictable at times, however, that said, if you're a fan of this genre, then this is another comfortable fantasy/romance.

Narration is good.

You'll fall right into the story

This book lives up to its title in every way. The reader is drawn in from the beginning, and from there, it's a headlong plunge into the world of Lucinda Price. Beautifully written, with a colourful scope of characters, this book is a must for any lovers of the paranormal. The end will leave you literally begging for the sequel!

Excellent, a promising start to the series

I was very pleasantly surprised upon finishing this book - I immediately wanted to go on to the next one to continue the story! I am sure I am outside the intended audience for this book, being a good few years older than a teenage girl, but I was hooked.

The writing is of a high quality, the story moves on quickly without being too obvious as to where things are heading ( I hate it when I can quess the ending a mile away) and the plot is not too unbelievable (crucial in a supernatural romance). The characters are fully realised, I feel I can picture them all in my head, which helps me to follow the story.

The narration is also very well done, pitched very well considering the age of the characters and the range required. I found it very easy to follow and well paced.

My only criticism is that the ending seems to come in a slight rush, which negates the excellent build up of tension that precedes it.

I have already added the next two books in the series (Torment and Passion) to my wishlist, and eargerly await the release of the fourth (Rapture) next year.

Glad that I took time to listen ...

... but I wouldn't pay full price for it.
It was a good story to listen too but (and I don't know if this is because I've been tainted with the Twilight Saga's excellence) I found it a bit toothless at times and almost as though it is a story written to try and sail in the wind of Twilight. HOWEVER, I do intend to invest some more time in listening to the sequels but will be waiting until there is a special offer on.

better the second time

I had read a physical copy before, but listening to it bring every one alive even more. it helped me to escape when I was on overload and drew me in with every new chapter. I can't wait to finish the series again

Really good.

I’ve had this book on my physical shelf for years now and have not had the motivation to pick it up, I saw it was on here and thought I would finally read/ listen to it and honestly it’s so good! Although the main character does really annoy me sometimes which makes sense for main characters in these types of book’s similar to twilight are just so bland and annoying but overall it’s amazing and can’t wait to listen to the rest of the series :)

Not to shabby 👌🏽

I highly recommend this book to teenagers who are into strong love stories 💕
This is probably the best book out of the series , nice easy book to under stand
Some cliff hangers here and there but I wouldn’t say this book stood out to me as being one of my favourite book but it is worth the money / credit ❤️

Amazing series

This is one of my favourite series and the characters are portrayed very well and perfectly.

Decent, but wouldn't revisit.

There were some very entertaining ideas here and I did finish the audiobook. If you enjoyed Twilight this is probably up your street, but the characterisation wasn't quite there. Some characters had a lot of potential to be interesting, but others (typically the key ones) were bland and undeveloped. The plot was a little predictable and there were some avenues of interest that weren't explored as I'd have liked. The narration was a little monotone. Overall, an easy-listening audiobook with some fun elements of plot, but it's not going to blow your mind.
