I found this as a Read Now in the Christian category on Goodreads. I downloaded a sample from Amazon & binge read the first 4 chapters- then committed to reviewing it for Netgalley bc it was really, really good. I'm wary of new-to-me authors bc I'm so often disappointed; I don't just request willy nilly.
I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED!
This book is complex (but not too complex), well-written, has surprisingly well-developed characters, inserts pertinent flashbacks to events from thousands of years prior, spiritual warfare that feels realistic, not cheesy at all, s/o to Celebrate Recovery. I don't understand how Viktor Rose made all these elements work but he did it- masterfully. I can go on. I am just a mom in Ohio who reads books in my spare time but FWIW I plan to promote this hidden gem of a book on every platform available to me.
Thank you to Netgalley and Viktor Rose for providing a free copy in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
Premise:
When Angela Ward vanishes without a trace, her life becomes the hinge between two one radiant and one corrupt. Angels wage a quiet war to protect her, while demons circle with ancient hunger, whispering madness into the man who stole her away.
Trapped in Marshall’s grasp and caught in a cosmological war intertwined with human destiny, Angela discovers that hope, fear, and faith are all weapons—and that even in the darkest depths, light fights to break through.
