Sins of the Lost continues the awe-inspiring tale of love, betrayal, choices and redemption that kicked off with Sins of the Angels and continued in Sins of the Sons.  This review took me hours to write, because OMG, what a book!  I had no idea where to start, what to include without revealing the storyline and absolutely no way to express the feelings evoked while reading it.... A maelstrom of emotions that left me speechless!!!Alex is still trying to put the wreck of her life together after the devastation of Lucifer's machinations, endeavoring to build a (normal) life with Seth by her side;  A Seth who is emotionally fragile, uncertain and clearly not understanding Alex's stance of protecting humanity - or the impact his loss of power is doing to the earth.  And Seth will do anything to keep Alex by his side....Forced to make choices that have devastating and far-reaching implications, Alex is once again reluctantly drawn into the war between Heaven and Hell - and this time it's personal! Fighting to protect those she loves while desperately struggling to right the imbalance between her hearts desire and her shattered soul, Alex finds herself walking the knife-edge of emotional survival.Ms Poitevin takes you on an explosive, roller-coaster ride to Heaven and back, leaving you breathless, stunned and craving more.  The story is intricately woven, seemingly random threads shaping into an entirely unexpected design.  It's a story about choices, love, betrayal and hope - and which will have you clinging to a cliff by your metaphysical finger nails as all those threads weave together into a cataclysmic finale.My expectations for the next book are huge (no pressure Ms Poitevin!) as the author has clearly demonstrated her literary skill by introducing twists that leave you overwhelmed, forcing you to leap to an, as yet, unconsidered path. There are NO foregone conclusions in this series!And this book, Sins of the Lost, is by far the best book I have read this year!!
