I honestly don't know what to say about this book... It is actually good... It's just... I don't know. A bit weird that the title is about the fallen angel we all know to rebel against God. But I do think that is the purpose of the author. Showing us or telling us that not all things are what it seems.Zahara is not new in dealing with supernaturals.. In fact, she lived her whole life knowing about it; her ancestors are Light Witches, her mom and Aunt are one too. The premise of this book is good. Not your typical Young Adult Paranomal Romance. The world building is consistent in a way. One could also relate to the characters because Zahara and Becca are what you can call the 'typical teenagers' nowadays. Meaning they break rules from time to time, their friendship is sturdy as a rock They have each other back and I like that they are real to each other, they also fight, they don't always have rainbows and butterflies in their friendship. But having said that, they also try to support each other as best as they could and that they try to settle their indifference, if there is.I am just a bit confused... Becca knows Zahara's world since the story start but there is no mention of how she knew this. I mean, yeah, Zahara probably told her herself but what I wanna know is HOW did she told Becca, did something triggers it to tell her? It might not be a real part of the book but it is something I wanna learn about. The past that was shown in here was not of them but of the past like ages ago (100 years or so, maybe?) so yeah, that is one of the things I wanna know. Hopefully the author would do a Novella, Sons of Old Trilogy #0.5, featuring some of Zahara's past before this all started.And another thing, I actually thought that Becca lives with Zahara because for the half of the book, there is no mention of Becca's parents. I thought that maybe Becca is an orphan, so yeah, I was a bit surprised to know that her parents are still alive and kicking.One of the things I like too is the close family ties they all have. They all wanted to protect Zahara from Lucifer and they all tries to make her and Becca safe even if that means restraining them to do some other things and keeping a very close eye on them.Hmmm... Also, I like Rekesh more than Bryan. I think he is just a misunderstood guy and he tries to make a villain out of himself but in the end he can't help but want to help and protect them especially Becca. Bryan is... I don't know, yeah there is that chessy factor but I don't trust him. At first I was like, "Should I believe this guy in everything he was saying to Zahara?" But then after 3/4 of reading, I decided that I don't like to believe him but of course you'll ask me why? and give me reasons he is sweet and all that... But whatever. LOL. I stood by what I said. :PThe ending is a bit of a cliffhanger for me... I'd like to read the second one if possible soon. :) and so yes, I will probably recommend it to my friends who love PNR books. Enjoy reading! :)
