This was a case of I definitely chose to read a book based on its cover, and I’m not sorry about it. 

I’m admittedly not quite 100% sure in my star rating. (I am most unreliable in this.) But outside of that, I really liked this one. I didn’t really know what it was about other than what the cover indicated. It’s a tale of angels vs demons and what happens if a demon (succubus) and an angel (nephilim) fall in love?

I think the character study and growth was definitely the strongest part of this book. There were a few plot points/conflicts that were occasionally a little too easily resolved. Some bits felt somewhat disjointed.  I think the way Avitue helped Cassian understand and accept her value and worth was really beautiful. The relationship was a bit insta-love, but…I like the way they are both able to be vulnerable and develop trust and intimacy (true intimacy, not just the lusty lust). I liked how Cassian was able to face the rigidity of her upbringing and find her true self on her own accord.
