Review: FINALLY an adult fantasy novel done RIGHT
Rating: 4 out of 5

I love me some books about nephilim, and this one did not disappoint. Jennifer L. Arementrout's adult books, are usually contemporary romance so I like that this one was an adult fantasy novel. It was fantastic-a kick ass female lead, an endearing and mysterious fallen angel; this story was really entertaining.We follow Lily through her journey at the Sanctuary, and learn about her life as a nephilim. She's a great fighter and is very smart, and she loves what she does-to protect and defend humans from being corrupted, killing evil fallen angels, and to ensure that none of her own turn evil. I love the action and training part of the story, and how skilled of a fighter Lily was despite the fact that she goes up against men twice her size. I am in awe of anyone who can kick butt in heels and a mini skirt. She has the humor and attitude to make her a force to be reckoned with. Yet, there is also this vulnerable side of her that makes her a great narrator. When she starts to fall for Julian, she has to decide whether her job is enough to make her happy; and it makes me wonder if people can truly, and wholeheartedly be happy alone.Overall, I liked this book a lot more than I thought I would-the premise alone didn't sell me-but I ended up loving it. I didn't find it was good as her Lux or Covenant series, but still an entertaining read nonetheless. Cannot wait for the next installment :)
