About this ebook

Heaven refers to them as Misplaced Halos. 

Humans don’t even know they exist. 

This faction of celestial warriors was sent here under the cover of darkness to protect humanity from Lucifer’s demons. In return for their servitude, these warriors expect only one thing: the love they were promised, what angels refer to as an amsouelot

The first of his kind, Obsidian has spent the past fifteen hundred years fighting alongside his brothers, protecting humans from Lucifer’s demons, all while keeping to the shadows. Their mission is simple, right up until it isn’t. The day Obsidian learns of a traitor in Heaven is the day everything changes. The entire reason for his existence is put on hold because there’s a new assignment: find the female whose soul belongs to his and protect her, no matter the cost.

Penelope Calazans spends her days sleeping and her nights serving free drinks to the gamblers looking to win big in Sin City. It’s not a glamorous life, perhaps a tad lonely, but she’s content. Or she thought she was. Then he appears. The mystery man who would turn out not to be a man at all, but rather an angel. The angel who would turn Penelope’s mundane life upside down, revealing what really lurks in the dark.

Not only do they have to battle the demons looking to possess their souls, but Obsidian and Penelope must overcome the obstacles that come with falling in love. In the end, an angel and a human must make the ultimate sacrifice, all in the name of a love everlasting.

This is Nicole's first paranormal book and it's very good. It's an interesting and original take on Angels and Demons. The world building is very good, I did get a little confused with all the new descriptive terms so I would recommend having a read through of the dictionary after the first couple of chapters as once I got my head around the terms I didn't struggle with remembering what meant what. The characters are well thought out and all very intriguing. The main couple the book centres on are very lovable and following the relationship develop kept me hooked throughout. I did find some of the intimate scenes a little repetitive, hence the 4 stars not 5. They did seem to favour a certain position and I liked it when they spiced it up abit. Overall it's a great start to the series and I'm hoping the next story hits the ground running. I don't really know which Angels story is next but I'm looking forward to whoever it is.

Angels and Demons and Fae, Oh My!! I have been a PNR fan for many years and it has got to be difficult for authors to come up with new fantastical ideas to write about but somehow on Nicole Edwards' first dabble into this genre, she has done it in an epic way! This book is absolutely amazing and captivated me from the beginning! From the incredible story line to the depth of these wonderful new and unique characters, everything about this book makes me long for more in this fantastic new paranormal series. I will not spoil this book in my review because honestly reading it for yourself is the only way to experience it. If you are looking for a new PNR series that will have you on the edge of your seat one minute, fanning yourself the next, all while wishing you could be part of their world, then this is the one for you. Ms. Edwards gives a nod early on in the story to two of my very favorite PNR authors, and I knew right then that this new world and new characters she has created were going to be special!! I love this book and these characters so much and cannot wait for the next book in this captivating new series!! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something a little different!!!
