I spent my Sunday afternoon and evening reading it, and I hated when I had to take a break to eat or call my sister, ha ha!It was another gem of a read. I LOVED it!I still can't believe that this book was only the second book that J. Lynn wrote way back in 2008. I'm so glad that she finally shared it with us.The world of Nephilim, fallen angels, demons, deadheads, etc. and their individual roles are well explained. The story is set in the DC area which seems entirely appropriate and therefore easily plausible. I was sucked right into Lily's life and the intrigue taking place at the Sanctuary where most Nephilim live and train.We meet Lily, a strong female (rare) Nephilim hunter, and Julian, a fallen angel who is supposedly 100% evil and therefore Lily's enemy, really quickly. No long build up or slow world building thankfully.Events happen that cause Lily to doubt her long held beliefs about the evil nature of fallen angels and she and Julian begin a secret relationship. Eventually the relationship is exposed and Lily must prove that she hasn't betrayed her Nephilim brethen by sleeping with the enemy.Lily is also in charge of training Michael, a new older Nephilim that has drawn the attention of enemy fallen angels Baal & Asmodeus. I really enjoyed the climax and the intrigue resolution. It fun trying to guess who the traitor was (Remy, Luke, Micah, the twins, etc.) but also stressful trying to figure our how it would all shake out. All the supporting characters seemed interesting so I can't wait for the sequel to learn more about everyone.Bring it, J. Lynn! It'll be another automatic buy for me.
