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.

Nicole Edwards is one of the authors that I wait with baited breath to read. Her new series Misplaced Halos is a different genre that Nicole usually writes but I must say she has leapt into the paranormal romance universe with an absolute fantastic start with Protected in Darkness. Penelope and Obsidian's story grabs you from the very start and just keeps you enthralled all the way. Cannot wait to see how the rest of the series goes.

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.

Let me first say paranormal is not normally a genre I read but after hearing one of my favourite authors announcing she was branching out I had to check it out ....wow is all I can say I was left speechless and I have to say if you are a lover of paranormal Protected in Darkness is a must read and if romance is your choice of reading then you will also want to one click this amazing love story. This is a beautifully well written love story about soulmates, it’s about angels and demons and what this couple have to do to be together. It’s a book with all feels, it’s hot, it’s romantic and it has just the right amount of humour, sizzling chemistry and a story that will keep you on the edge of seat all make this perfect, Do you believe in Angels, if you didn’t before you picked up this book you certainly will after reading Penelope and Obsidian’s story. Looking forward to book 2 in the Misplaced Halos Series.
