About this book
Ruby has officially ascended from a mere mortal to a formidable goddess, but her newfound power comes at a lethal price. Having purged the earth of the angelic scourge, she now finds herself in the crosshairs of the very deities who granted her that stolen magic. As the gods seek retribution and the angels return with terrifying, upgraded strength, the stakes shift from a simple survival mission to a desperate race against time.
The tension reaches a breaking point when Adonis, the man who captured her heart, is abducted by their most cunning enemy. The angels have devised a sick, twisted ultimatum: they want Ruby to execute the love of her life, knowing she possesses the only weapon capable of killing him. This pulse-pounding installment of the paranormal romance series masterfully explores the enemies-to-lovers trope, forcing Ruby to navigate a minefield of betrayal where her deepest desires clash with the fate of the entire world.
Fans of high-stakes fantasy will be captivated by the seamless blend of celestial warfare and intense romantic devotion. With the help of allies like Rosalind and Caine, the final battle against the Heavenly Host is as epic as it is heartbreaking. If you are looking for a series that perfectly balances self-discovery with explosive, magical action, this gripping finale is the ultimate page-turner.

In a way I wish I’d read this before the Shadow Fae series. I loved the process of self awareness for Ruby. She really is the hero of the series. Death , Adonis turns out to be a lovable character. Kratos also turns out to be lovable. I do wonder about a few things. I’m not sure if the answers about the Shadow Fae taking over London and sending all magical to closed realms appears in other books. This book ends with a well earned HEA. )

I was so involved with this series I think I read them all in 2 weeks or less. This story was very exciting and flowed together very well. Not to mention, magical worlds and magical beings are interesting to read about. )

Rosalind and Caine join Ruby and Adonis to defeat the Heavenly Host. What a great way to bring other characters into this book! I want to re-read Liora’s story, since it’s been a while since I read it. In the end of this book, we meet baby Lions. This really nicely wraps up the stories. I am curious where Tanit and Kur were for this story. Maybe I missed something, but they weren’t in the final battle scenes. I wanted to see them again, since they were supposedly such good friends with Adonis....

I loved this entire series. Both stories, books 1-4, and this one, books 5-7. This is actually my favorite book in the whole series. The dialogue and interaction between Ruby & Adonis had me laughing out loud, which I rarely do. They're both monsters, but that doesn't define who they can become. )
