Very good romance with danger! Some parts left questions with no answer. Most of the questions were answered which is a good thing. There is always consequences when falling in love with an angel! )

Asriel is a Nephilim warrior who was reassigned as a Watcher to protect someone close to Malina, a girl who can see things no one else can. I was instantly...
