This is one of those books that I need more stars. Five just doesn't seem enough. I loved Unchained that much. There aren't enough adjectives to describe this book but some that come to mind are Fabulous, Sweet, Sexy, Heartbreaking, Heart Stopping.......and the list could go on and on.First, our heroine is Lily. Lily is brave, snarky, loyal and yet she has that sweet, and a little bit naive side to her as well. You see, Lily is a Nephilim. She has always known that this is the life she wants, the life as a Nephilim. But, lately, when she sees couples together holding hands or just being together, she is beginning to feel like something is missing. She will never be able to have that life of a white picket fence. But, is there something else out there for her that she is missing?Then we have Julian. Oh Julian. "sigh" Julian is a Fallen Angel. And there is only one thing that Julian wants, and that is Lily. But, the problem is, that one of the main priorities in the life of a Nephilim is to kill Fallen Angels. But, Julian keeps showing up when Lily needs help. And, he has saved her life more than once. So somewhat of a truce or perhaps even a friendship develops between them. But this is against everything that the Nephilim stand for.I only have one complaint about this book and that is that I kept getting confused with the definitions of Dead Heads and Minions. But, this is just one small speck in an otherwise Awesome book.Lily is out on her patrol one night when she senses another Nephilim. He is a cop, Michael, but the problem is that Michael doesn't seem to realize what he is. So after knocking him out, she and the others take him back to the Sanctuary where they all live to begin the process of teaching him about what he is and training him so that he can make a choice about whether or not this might be the life he would want.But, it seems there is a traitor amoung them. And Lily is the first one to be suspected due to her relationship with Julian. Can she trust Julian enough to help her to discover who the traitor is? Or could Julian be deceiving her?This book has a lot of heart stopping action scenes but also some very sweet and sexy scenes. I was engaged from the first page until the last page. This is the first book in what seems like it is going to be a trilogy but I didn't feel like it had a cliff hanger. I loved the ending, actually. But I can't wait for the next book to come out. I was so surprised to read in the Acknowledgements that JLA actually wrote this book in 2008. Well, let me just say that I am so happy that it is out. Awesome, just Awesome. Oh wait, I think I said that already. Oh well, this book is just that...Awesome.Note: This book does contain mature content so is not for the under 18 reader.
