Do you love angels? Then this Archangel might leave you feeling very swoony.
A little warning though, this book is the third in a series. So I did feel like lost about the war going on in this world. But this book is a stand-alone, so you never truly feel lost.

Archangel Uriel has plans to end demon prince Vladek. In order to get close to him, he must fight in the pits of the underworld. And he'll need help----from witch Nadya. But can he trust her?
Stepping foot in the underworld is the last thing Nadya wants to do. But she feels the need to help her friends even if it means helping the archangel.

I love paranormal, angels, etc, so this book had all the right elements for me to enjoy. This story moved so well that before I knew it, it was done. I don't know what exactly to say with spoiling too much. The action is good. Watching them fall in love is good too. I loved when he finds out Nadya's secret, how his fierce love for her never wavers.

This is my first time reading anything from Juilette Cross and I looking forward to reading the other books in this series. Also her back catalog.

Coldest Fire is the culmination of a series that is close to my heart. I have loved Uriel for so long and waited years for his story. This is everything I wanted it to be. Uriel's tale blazed across the pages and straight into my heart. This will live within me for a long, long time and I will savor every memory of it.
Reading Uriel's story is like coming to the end of a long journey. It was a long time coming but worth every minute of the wait. I adore Uriel. Loved him from the moment I met him and knew what he did for humanity and for his hunters. Loved his sacrifice and his compassion. It was with trepidation and excitement that I read his story because I desperately wanted Ms Cross to do him justice. And she did. Uriel is magnificent. He burns with such intensity and fire. I loved every moment of him on the page, from his pain and need for revenge to his transformation and his growing understanding of Nadya as he fell for her. A mission of revenge for what happened to himself becomes so much more as he gets to know Nadya. Love. Love. Love.
Nadya is a sweetheart. She has so much goodness and kindness and heart in her. She's also perfect for Uriel because they have both suffered horribly and understand each other's pain. In that, they are kindred spirits. I loved seeing Nadya growing stronger and more confident, and being willing to set aside of her own fear for Uriel and his mission.
As with all of Ms Cross's books, this one is filled with her signature intensity and emotion that will clutch at your throat and heart. Be prepared for lighter moments that will lift you up and make you smile, deep intense moments that will make your breath stop, and highly emotional moments that will move you to tears.
Uriel's story is everything I hoped it would be and more. I'm sad it's the end of the series but what a way to end it. The ending itself was perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better one.

Uriel finally managed to get free of Vladek. But not before he suffered at the hands of a certain female demon. He wants revenge. Badly. But would he be willing to corrupt his very angelic nature to get it? He just needs the help of another survivor. But can he really face putting Nadya back into the clutches of the very man she spent years trying to escape from?

He needs to get to the fighting pit in Vladek’s castle. He needs a demon to "speak" for him. Enter Nadya. Former abuse victim of Vladek and little does Uriel know, she also has a past with her female tormentor.

Holy Moly! What a way to end. Jam packed with action, adventure, mystery and passion! Uriel is a really avenging angel, one entirely too near the edge of becoming fallen. Nadya may come over as meek and unassuming. But she has an inner strength that SHE doesn't even know she has. She still sees herself as the victim she was, not the survivor she is.

A new installment in the fascinating and complex dystopian future world of the Dominion series where otherworldly creatures have conquered humans and rule the planet.
In this brilliantly creative book we get a modified enemies-to-lovers story where Archangel Uriel is forced to work together with one of his enemies, a witch named Nadya. Only, she's not really his enemy. She's an outlier for her kind with a sweet and gentle nature who wants nothing to do with the demons most witches associate with. Sparks flew between these characters from the moment they were both on the same page and smoldered until Uriel finally got a clue and caved to the heat.

I love reading a paranormal romance that reminds me why this will always be my favorite genre. Thank you Juliette Cross for a super-charged, smexy, highly satisfying read!

What a beautiful end to a great series! Nadya and Uriel were perfect for each other, both broken beyond repair, at least they thought they were.

Uriel is focused on his revenge of Vladek after being captured and tortured by him and he needs Nadya's help to get to him. Nadya was also a prisoner of Vladek but she wants to forget it happened and hideaway forever. While working together they realize they have much more in common than their hatred of Vladek and much more to lose if their plans don't work out.

A great story and series that contained lots of action, love, friendships and fun. It was great to see the whole gang again; George, Kat, Xander, Carowyn, Anya, and Dommiel. I'm sorry to see the series end but expect Juliette Cross will have many more great stories to tell.

While I’m excited to finally read Uriel’s story, I’m sad to see the end of this series. 6 books (the beginning/introduction with the 3 original Vessel series books and then the Dominion series to wrap it up) will get you hooked like that.

Uriel wants to end the terror reign of high demon Vladek. To achieve this goal he needs the help of the witch and Vladek’s former concubine, Nadya. Their journey through the fighting pits of the demon underworld reveals their hidden secrets and deepest desires turning the defeat of Vladek into the ultimate revenge.

Even though each story in the series is written as a stand-alone, I highly recommend reading in order to fully immerse yourself into the world before and after the wall between good and darkness fell.

Are you kidding me?!!! This can't be over. Say it isn't so....I BEG YOU!!!!!!!!

Wow! I'm honestly not sure if I have the words to express myself for this one. This series has been above and beyond amazing. Each and every book has captivated me and pulled me toward a world that I seriously wish existed on some level. But this last one? Holy Goddess!!! Nothing beats Uriel's story....NOTHING!!!!

Yes, this story can be read as a standalone. But I honestly don't recommend it. Why? Because there are flashbacks and/or memories that, although the author does a great job explaining, would mean SO MUCH MORE if you'd have read the previous books. Jus sayin....

Nadya is human. But she's not just human, she's a witch. Ok, she's not just a witch, she's THE witch that has caused quite the buzz. After years living a life she didn't want, she's finally living a secluded life, free and unafraid. That is until Anya and Dom show up at her door with Uriel. Suddenly her past is staring in her present and everything comes crashing back. Does this mean she's no longer safe?

Uriel is an archangel. Well, he's more than that but he's also damaged, both mentally and physically. After being tortured by the evil witch Lisabette, now that he's free, revenge is the only thing on his mind. Except now that he needs Nadya's help to accomplish his task, revenge isn't the only thing on his mind. Is it possible to have both? 

I'm crying while writing this. This book is such an emotional cleansing for these two characters. Both have been through the ringer and deserve some happiness in their lives. But they have to go through more hell in order to get to that place, and what an amazing ride it is. 

What an epic ending to a heartfelt series!!! I'll miss it....

Who am I kidding? I'll be re-reading this bad boy for years!!!!

A powerful angel and a demon witch. What could they possibly have in common, except...everything! Told in Juliette Cross’s lyrical and humorous and gripping style, Coldest Fire kept me riveted to the central love story and the action of a demon gladiator fighting circuit. This is a story where the good guys are really good, and where the bad guys get exactly what’s coming.

Oooh have I been nervous. My love of Archangel, Uriel has spanned the entirety of both the Vessel Trilogy and the Dominion series...six books, so I needed him to deliver the goods.

“...finding your own happiness in this world, whatever that may be…is worth sacrifice. Is worth risking everything.”

Bring on the bubbly because my angel was everything I was hoping for as he shows us the lengths he’s prepared to go to in his revenge against demon prince, Vladek. He suffered at his clutches, as has demon witch and unlikely ally, Nadya and, as these two damaged souls grow closer, their hearts open up and they realise they’re stronger together than apart.

“I saw myself in you. I saw the scars behind your eyes. And I knew that,” she dragged her mouth over mine, “I knew that I wasn’t alone.”

I loved Nadya and Uriel together, they complimented each other perfectly, and along with Juliette Cross‘ amazing world building, painting rich, detailed visual battle scenes which have you holding your breath along with delicious romantic tender and passionate moments paced to fit their circumstance, you know the pay off will be worth the wait.

“You were the one flicker of light in all that darkness.”

This series kicked off with a bang and Coldest Fire sends it out the same way, and although gutted that we’ve reached the end, I’m thankful that not only Uriel and Nadya but all the characters we’ve met along the way, were given the stories they deserved. I can’t recommend both series enough to any lover of PNR/urban fantasy romance.

Ahh... the beauty that is picking up a book and knowing it will brighten your day before you even start. That is what Juliette brings to the table every time. I never worry or wonder if I will like the book, I know I will. Coldest Fire was exactly what the blurb promised: a story of a good hearted angel ready for vengeance and to fight the world to make things right; a story of two souls that have been to hell and back and need each other to fully heal; a story of vengeance, but also passion and love :)

Uriel may come across to start as a moody and broody male, but he really isn't. He is an angel, a softy at heart. Always wiling to help and to protect those who need and those he cares about. And boy does he care!!! I think that is part of why he comes across so closed off at first, he cares a lot, he cares too much, and he is hurting bad from all that was done to him. But he is also healing, and going after the ones that hurt him is part of it.
Nadya if both the same and the exact opposite. Although she does not come across as closed off as he, she also feels too much and is hurting, she is also healing. Helping Uriel helps her.
They are both wonderful good hearted characters that you just wanna snuggle with - or at least I do. Yah yah, Uriel also happens to be a killing machine, but that is part of his charm.

Needless to say (for those that have read the previous books), Dom is my hero! the handful of scenes with him made me giggle and love him even more. He is incorrigible and I adore him for it. It was nice seeing the previous and well loved characters make an appearance.
Could you read this as a stand alone? sure thing... but I think that this time if you did you would feel like you are missing something. I would recommend you start from the beginning. This is just book 3, you can do it :)

All in all this was a fantastic read! The battle scenes were all well written - I specially loved Vladek's ending! The romance built up nicely and the chemistry was on point. There wasn't anything about the book that I did not like, it just didn't hook me in the same way my bad boy Dom did. Nothing will really... I like my bad boys and I know most of you will fall head over hills for Uriel. So Go Read! :)

I loved Uriel and Nadya’s story! She wasn’t shy and mousy, but a subtle force to be reckoned with. And Uriel? Well, that man had so many layers I couldn’t wait to unwrap and reveal! The attraction was obvious to everyone but these two, and let me just say the wait...soooo worth-while💗

And hail, hail, Uriel’s awesome team make appearances! What good is a battle without friends? George, Kat, Xander, Carowyn, Anya, my forever favorite bad-boy Dommiel (who provides the best tongue-in-cheek and yes, sometimes crudely sarcastic remarks around) and Circe, Uriel’s lovably stubborn, yet devoted dragon who, I think, had the best job of the book-They’re back and fighting mad in fantastically charged scenes that had me breaking table manners and reading at the dinner table.

In a nutshell, Uriel and Nadya’s book was intense! From the pulsating action sequences, a sexy little romance, sarcastic humor, and an angry archangel bent on revenge...oh my goodness, Coldest Fire was the PERFECT wrap up to the Dominion series!

I would definitely recommend reading previous books in the series because:
1. Dommiel -who can resist a not-quite reformed bad boy/demon, and yes, I am shamelessly plugging his book here.
2. Dominion is a great fantasy series.
3. You’ll really get a feel for the bonds that tie all these characters together!
4. Did I mention this was a great fantasy series?!

I received an ARC from NetGalley and this is my honest review.

What a stunning conclusion to this series! I couldn’t imagine a better way to end things.

Nadya has eeked out as peaceful of an existence as she can since her time with Vladek. But when Uriel arrives at her home in need of her assistance, her life is thrown directly into the battle of good and evil. Uriel is unable to forget the last time he saw the witch, Nadya. He doesn’t trust her kind but the more he gets to know her, the more he realizes that perhaps he has judged her unfairly.

’He was created to exact justice on evil.’

Oh my, how my heart went out to Nadya. What horrors she has lived through, yet she was so strong. Extremely strong, even as she feared Uriel and all that he made her feel. And especially when she takes a stand to bring down the demon king that marked every faucet of her life.

”It’s just that…sometimes…the past can leave scars that dig too deep. That can never be erased. And so, we have to be content with a half-life once we’ve flown our course and made it through to the other side without burning.”

I’ve been waiting for Uriel’s story since I first met him so long ago. He definitely lived up to all my expectations. After his time as Lisabette’s captive, his heart has hardened and all he lives for is complete vengeance upon Vladek. He’s pretty stony going in, but his warming towards Nadya captured my heart completely. And it doesn’t take long for that warming to turn to total conflagration.

’My, how I’d fallen so fast. Thousands of years in this world and no mortal or immortal had clawed inside of me like the lovely Nadya.’

’When I wanted something, I didn’t give up. I only hoped Nadya was ready for my kind of perseverance. Because claiming her and making her mine was quickly eclipsing all other goals in my life.’

One of the most beautiful moments I think I’ve ever read was when Nadya shares her greatest shame with Uriel. His response is what romance is all about. This moment, this scene, is the true magic of this story and worth reading this book for if not for any other reason. But there are definitely so many other reasons.

With plenty of action and drama, we get to witness firsthand Uriel’s abilities as well as watch the previous characters of both this series and the Vessel Triology come together to fight against evil. I was totally captivated by each action sequence as this author presents us with such a clear picture of what is happening, you’ll feel as though you are in the midst of it all along with this hero and heroine.

This is a rich, full story with characters that will consume your heart and mind long after the last page.

A kiss was a caress of souls. An intimate entanglement of breath and affection.

What a fabulous ending to a magnificent series!!! Uriel's book was everything that I hoped for!!! And the cover was perfect too! I've never been into fluffy cherub angels,I want the biggest,baddest kickass Angel their is and uriel is this and more. And he is so fucking alpha sexy and has a dragon too!!! What he went through at the hands of the black demoness witch lisabette should have broken him,but if anything it made him stronger,after kiling the witch that held him captive and escaping he has lived for revenge against vladek the demon king who captured and gave him to lisabette to be her pet. He needs Nadya to get to vladek but even though she helped him one night from another beating by the sick bitch lisabette,he see's her as just another evil demoness witch and it doesn't help that it's whispered that she's also vladek's secret concubine. I don't want to say anymore about the plot other then to say things aren't always what they seem and their is a twist that I didn't see coming! Juliette cross is a fabulous storyteller and so descriptive that I can picture not only this world she has created but her characters as well! I love all and will miss this series so much!! I was hoping read more about the hot sexy legion General maximus with his beautiful black wings and one of my fave demons skaal ,I love this guy!! And Yorick for a bad guy was yummie too! This was a steamy hot sexy read and the chemistry between nayda and uriel was hawt! If you haven't read a Juliette cross book your missing out,all her books are 5 star reads! I can't wait to see what comes next!! Until next time luv's💖💋

Uriel's show of afrection is quite...unconventional, “yes. Two feet is too far away. I have a mind to sleep while inside you tonight. Would that bother you?” I liked this book, I liked Uriel.

The archangel Uriel is out for revenge against the demon that lead to his enslavement, but in order to reach that goal he has to put his trust in a witch (not an easy task given a witch was his slave driver) and what makes it even harder is he knows this witch. Nadya wants to help Uriel to make up for the guilt she feels leaving him behind when she escaped her hell but their attraction to each other must battle against their internal demons. This was a great paranormal romance and part of an existing series, but I was easily able to follow along not having read the others. There’s a lot of action and drama with just enough softness to counter balance the heat these two characters have. 5 stars. I received an arc copy of this book from NetGalley for my honest review

I've been waiting this whole time for Uriel's story and man was it EVERYTHING. Uriel has intrigued from the start. I'm drawn to the cold and dangerous characters. There is just something about reading a character like that finding his other half. This book had me giddy with how Uriel slowly thawed for Nayda. It's everything that I love to see in a couple.

Nayda was an amazing heroine. I love it when an author can create a woman to admire and respect. She was such a sweet person who cared more about others than herself. She has reason to fear so much but that never stopped her from doing the right thing. She was perfect for Uriel.

Their love story wasn't the only thing that held me captive. Finally seeing our favorite characters go after Vladek was so satisfying. His rein of terror lasted too long and who better than to take him down that the two who were most effected by him.

I'm sad to see this series end. Every book has been captivating to read. I've loved all the characters. Each of them have been unique in their own way and brought a lot to the series as a whole. This kind of series is one of my favorite type to read. I easily get hooked on a story where good fights evil and wins. This was an amazing series and I highly recommend it for all you paranormal lovers.

Coldest Fire is book four in the Dominion series by Juliette Cross. This is the final book of this series and what a way to go out, with Uriel, the Archangel, his quest for revenge, and the woman who reawakens his heart.

Uriel is now free from the time he spent imprisoned by the evil demon prince, Vladek. He has healed on the outside, but inside, he still rages. He wants revenge for what Vladek did to him and so many other innocents. He has a plan. He will fight in the pits until he can work his way up to the main event, the pit in Vladek’s circle. Then he will exact his revenge. But he can’t just waltz into these demon’s castles and volunteer to fight. He needs help getting in. That is what put him on the witch Nadya’s doorstep.

“I’d always been Uriel, the merciful one. The benevolent. The healer. But no longer. Those parts of me had been cut out.”

“Ending Vladek would be the catalyst to bury my hatred. Once and for all.”

Nadya was a witch who had escaped her own torture at the hands of Vladek. Now she lives alone in a small cottage deep in the woods. But then Uriel was brought to her, asking for help getting back to the place she never wanted to go near again. She recognized the same pain in Uriel that she herself feels. She wants nothing to do with this plan, but also understands Uriel’s need for revenge.

“She was good. Beautiful in her pristine purity and compassionate heart.”

“She wasn’t a creature of the dark after all. No. She was a luminescent light like no other.”

Uriel had a deep distrust of witches. But the more he saw Nadya, the more he realized how good she was. And the more her light started to melt his frozen heart. Until the mission was no longer about revenge for what happened to him, but for what happened to her.

Wow, what a way to wrap up this series. I knew Uriel’s story would be epic and it was. He was so filled with darkness in the beginning. It was so wonderful to watch Nadya’s light slowly seep in, for all of her goodness to melt the ice from around his heart. Uriel was everything I hoped he would be. At first you get the idea that Nadya is helpless. But oh how wrong you would be. She is strong. She stands by Uriel’s side and together they find a way to conquer the evil that tried to imprison them.

You can read this as a stand alone, enough details are given to piece together the back story. But really, you would be missing so much if you don’t start at the beginning. I have read all of Juliette’s books and I can assure you that every book is an experience you don’t want to miss.

“My light, Nadya. You are my light.”
“This was my paradise. My heaven on earth.”

Angels, Demons, and Witches oh my! Seriously what more can you ask for? as always, like time and time again Juliette Cross nails it and I have to say, I absolutely love her paranormal fantasy works. It’s always filled with action, romance and swoon worthy characters that mesh so well together. The dynamic between Nadya and the Archangel Uriel is different from most due to their past relations long before this series starts and it was amazing to see the previous characters from earlier installments make an appearance. I think this series concluded well but I have to say… I need Skaal story and I need it now. I know this is Nadya and Uriel’s tale, but I couldn't help but sympathize with Skaal and what he has done to save our lead heroine. If the book gods could grant me any wish, its for them to have the author write the next tale on our fallen angel, Skaal. Just saying,
