My Thoughts:Unchained, by J. Lynn, was an action-packed, mesmerizing, and utterly amazing read! I cannot wait to continue this series!  It's nice to have a go to author, that you know will never disappoint you, and Jennifer L. Armentrout/J. Lynn has become that for me. I don't care if she writes Contemporary, Erotica, Urban Fantasy, Paranormal, or Fantasy. Anything that she writes, I will read!Unchained featured, Lily Marks! I loved Lily! She was independent, strong, courageous, loyal, and kick-A**! She was a Nephilim, meaning that her father had been an angel and her mother had been human. After her mother died at a young age, she was taken into the sanctuary, a safe place that housed Nephilim, a school, training facilities, and much more.  She was trained as a demon hunter, and was one of the very best! All of her friendships consisted of other Nephilium, and her whole life centered around her job. However, Lily was lonely, and I felt so bad for her.Julian was a fallen angel, and my oh my, was he delicious! He was smooth, sexy, intriguing, and unbelievably charming! Julian had his eyes set on Lily and often came to her rescue in life threatening situations. Lily found herself falling in love with Julian, but did not know if she could trust him. Her good friend Anna had made the mistake of falling in love with a fallen angel, and it had cost her her life. She was trained to believe that fallen angels were the enemy, and if she was ever around one, she was to try to kill them.Officer Michael Cons was also a large part of this story. Lily had discovered that he was a Nephilim accidentally, and was given the task of training him. I liked Michael! He was a bit clueless about the situation, but handled it well. He did his best during training, and the way he persevered garnered much respect from his peers. He got along well with Lily, and was a good guy. You'll be happy to know that there wasn't a love triangle in this story. Michael's character served a completely different purpose.I loved Unchained for so many reasons! I loved that the plot completely hooked me, as I tried to figure out if Julian really cared about Lily, or if he was using her. I loved how there was an enemy in the highest circle of the Nephilium betraying them by working with the fallen, and I had fun trying to figure out who the traitor was. I loved all of the sweet and romantic moments between Lily and Julian, as well as the sexy, and smoking hot moments that they shared! I loved the secondary characters, and really felt like I got to know Nathaniel, Luke, Remy, and Rafe. Their personalities really shone throughout the story, and they played their roles well.I give, Unchained, by J. Lynn, 4 Amazing, Thrilling, Sexy, Unputadownable Stars! Read this if you are looking for a great Urban Fantasy Read!
