I remembered liking this book
but, now that I2527ve read it a second time, I2527m not so crazy about it.
but, now that I2527ve read it a second time, I2527m not so crazy about it.
Aeron, keeper of Wrath, is
finally free from his bloodlust that drove him to try and kill Danika and her
family in the previous books. He feels guilty over the choice Paris made which
saved him and he2527s trying to help his friend grieve and stay healthy. Aeron2527s
happy with Legion, a demon minion he thinks of as his daughter, but he never
expected to find himself eye-to-eye with an angel. Olivia was sent by the
heavens to kill Aeron, but she couldn2527t do it and chose to ‘fall2527 instead of
taking his life. Now a human with some angel gifts, she has two weeks to spend
with Aeron before another angel is chosen to kill him.

My main problem with this
story is that Aeron constantly chose Legion, his manipulative adoptive daughter
who2527s lusting after him, over Olivia who gave up almost everything to save
Aeron and to just spend some time with him. Legion can2527t stand Olivia, but
Olivia is tolerant of Legion. Aeron is described as selfless, loving and
giving, and he is to everyone but Olivia. Aeron wants Olivia and seduces her
without going all the way more than once. He wants to make Legion happy more
than he does Olivia so he purposely hurts Olivia. I don2527t understand why Olivia
stayed with him so long. She didn2527t often act like an angel since she wanted to
have ‘fun2527 all the time. In some ways she was a strong character but she2527s weak
when it comes to love and obsession. Aeron finally realizes about ¾ of the way
into the book that Olivia is more important to him than anyone else is. He
finally chooses her, but it doesn2527t work out as he planned.

As always, the scenes with
the side characters are my favorite. We meet Scarlet, keeper of Nightmares, and
learn she has a connection with Gideon, the keeper of Lies. Super interesting! We
finally see William and Gilly interact, but it2527s totally clean since she2527s so
young. Legion makes a deal with Lucifer, and the results aren2527t pretty. We meet
Baden towards the end, and learn there2527s a way to free him from the afterlife.

Again, as always, the author
writes in passive voice with lots of fragment sentences. The middle section
dragged with repetition and too much sex that never amounted to anything.
Still, I2527m drawn to the characters so I keep reading the series (I2527ve already
bought most of the books but I did so when they were on a big sale).
