All Violet wants is to be with Lincoln. But he has a secret so great it could tear them apart.

Then there’s Phoenix. He’s intense and enigmatic, but he's always there for her.

Caught up in a battle between light and dark - where angels seek vengeance and humans are warriors - Violet must decide who she’s willing to sacrifice and who to trust, because the wrong choice could cost her not only her life, but her destiny.

I've read this series three times and listened once. Everytime I re-read it I find something new i missed. it makes you think and reflect. not many books do that for me.

love this series!

Against my better judgement, i got book 2 of the series (the reviews for book 1 were not very encouraging). I very quickly realised i couldn't make head or tail of book 2 without reading (hearing) book 1, so i got "Embrace".
Let me just say i've suffered through the book as best as i can. the general storyline is actually quite good, but i get the feeling the characters aren't quite sure whether they're adults or teens!!
Maybe it's the actual performance - doubt it very much though - but i just couldn't bear the "whininess" of Violet's character, or the hedonistic teenage rebelliousness. It's so obvious a mile away that certain actions would result in obvious events and i guess for me, it's the predictability of those moments in the book that killed the buzz for me.
The last straw was when i found myself cringing during certain scenes and actually covering my ears with my hands, so i wouldn't be subjected to the epic cringe-worthiness of said lead character.
My advice: get another book - i still have to gird my loins to go through book 2 and i don't think i can survive the experience!

Overall, I really love this series! It is a love triangle, so if you don't like that, this book if not for you. I found the narrators voice to be easy/pleasant to listen to and it's a book I look forward to getting in my car to listen to! I'm on book 3 and I'm still enjoying the series!!

Loved it

This is a great book! I couldn’t stopped. Both guys is great and is it selfish of me to wanting them both? Lol but if I was to chose, I would go for Phoenix! He has this bad orbs around him. I liked Lincoln as well but I feel like Phoenix is a better match. I already knew who she’s gonna end up with but I could still hope. Rebecca Macauley is a new narrator to me but she did an excellent job!

Great read

I liked this book, but I wasn't blown away by it. It started out really well, what with mysteries and angels and all, and then somewhere halfway through, it was suddenly all about Violet fawning over Lincoln, then Phoenix, then Lincoln again, and it was all kind of predictable, but entertaining. I did like the fact that the author has clearly researched angel lore and all the ranks that angels might belong to. I might pick up the next book in the series, but I'm not sure yet. I liked the narration a lot! Cool to see they picked an Aussie narrator for this one, since the author is also from Australia.

nice to read some YA paranormal from Australia!

My high school students love this book. Most girls read it in one night. I decided to give it a try. Strong performance with an interesting premise, but predictable. I can see why teenage girls like it and I will probably listen to the series, but not the most engrossing story.

Interesting, but not life changing

This series took me 7 years to finish reading/listening to. Back in 9th grade around 2017ish, I fell so in love with with this story and these characters that I couldn’t bring myself to read the last book and have that world be over. I read every single one except the last one, 7 years ago I put down my book and refused to (at least in my mind) have Violet’s story end.

Now fast forward to 2022, I’m now a sophomore in college and have transferred from books to audiobooks because I don’t have the time to sit down and read like I used to, but I still enjoy a good story. And I stumble across a series that was my entire world back in the day, and I have to ask myself…. Is it as good as I remember? And by god its even better then I could’ve imagined. I cried at the end of this series!! AT. WORK. Like a baby. And I am not ashamed of it in the least! This story deserved it, the romance and passion whips you up and takes you on the ride of a life time and when it ends, all you’re going to want to do is climb on again!

Thank you Jessica Shirvington, for creating a world I can dive head first in, and characters I love like they are my best friends!

THIS SERIES IS A MUST READ!!!

I'm Australian, but even I find this narrator's voice grating. There are also too many quotes from the bible in the book they seem to just come one after the other. The story is OK, but I wouldn't say it's fantastic. But I'm not the target audience.
I found the relationship age difference between two main characters to be disconcerting and condoning of a 17 year old to have a relationship with a 26 year old who also has a mentoring/authority figure role in the female characters life. It seemed a little too much glamorising a student having a relationship with a teacher.

Not all Aussi's sound like this
