About this book
Gladriel is a fierce cherub warrior who has spent centuries protecting humanity from the shadows, but Heaven’s strict rules have never been her strong suit. When a catastrophic attack signals a terrifying shift in the celestial war between light and dark, she finds herself hunted by an ancient, encroaching evil. Thrust into the high-stakes environment of Morningstar Academy, she must navigate a world where the line between salvation and destruction is blurring.
As the danger intensifies, Gladriel battles an even more distracting threat: her commanding officer, Kessien. He is the ultimate alpha-hero, battle-hardened and stoic, yet his presence chips away at the defenses she has built over lifetimes. Their relationship is a masterclass in slow-burn tension, defined by the agony of forbidden love in a world where their union could spark a divine disaster.
This urban fantasy delivers a gripping blend of supernatural warfare and deep emotional stakes. If you crave paranormal romance that balances epic angelic lore with the electric pull of enemies-to-lovers dynamics, this series offers an addictive escape. Dive into this celestial battlefield where duty and desire collide, and discover if a love meant to be forbidden can survive the fall.

In this thought-provoking escape into a world of angels, demons, and the fallen that hadn’t intended on dropping out of the third heaven, readers are faced with an interesting twist on a celestial trope.

This was a nice read. It is a little slow in my opinion but that’s just my opinion. I do like the little bit of character development in this book and I am excited to see the progression of Gald’s character in book 2. I was hoping to see more sustenance in this book and thought it lacked a few details.. but it is a series so I’m sure there is more later on but it kinda fell short on providing a lot of information in this book. I have high hopes that the next book will contain more info and am...

Honest review is 4.5 stars. Thank you to the author, LRW Lee, for a digital copy of this series started. The story is told primarily through the POV of our FMC, Gladriel, with a few chapters thrown in from the POV of Kessien, possibly our MMC. This is a YA series and as such, there was no spice throughout the book. As we have demons and Fallen angels, we do get some mid-level graphic scenes of death and possession. This was an amazing start to the series. About halfway through, I was going...
