Axel:“YOU’RE ACTING like a child,”

Koldo:“That’s funny, coming from you,”

Axel:“You threw alcohol at a puny human male.”

Koldo:“He’s lucky to still be alive. I could have thrown daggers.”

Axel:“Wait. Did you think I was complaining? I was actually cheering.”

Wow!Wow!Wow! 4,5 Stars

Another amazing book by Gena Showalter .It's been such a long time since I found out about this book and I finally got to read it...

Koldo has been betrayed by the very people who created him.Firstly,his mother cut his wings(literally) and later his father abused him.Although,I do not condone his mother's actions,I can understand why she acted the way she did.Tragedy stuck Nicola from the moment she was born.From a very early age,she and her twin sister have suffered from heart dysfunction and as if that wasn't enough they lost their parents and little brother in a car accident.

Koldo's on a mission.Until it gets interrupted by a lovely woman.Koldo is not the type of man who lets people get close to him but he makes an exception with Nicola,even though he doesn't know why.Nicola,on the other hand,has been alone so long that she has lost the meaning of life.I really liked,she was strong,courageous,relible and trustworthy.She never,even for one minute,doubted Koldo but instead chose to believe and trust him.

It was so heartbreaking watching Koldo trying so hard to make people love him.I was glad when Nicola made him understand that you couldn't force people to love you,they either did or not.And he surely deserved to be loved.It was so emotional,seeing how shocked he was when Nicola told him that she loved him.The book was just so good.It had a nice flow,balanced portions of action,romance and suspense.

However,I noticed that there were more fight scenes(and I don't mean between the main characters but the secondary ones) and it was quite tiring.I liked the book but I would have loved it if there were more Koldo-Nicola scenes.And I HATED that every time they were together they had to be interrupted by someone.

Overall,it is a worth reading book especially if you are a fan of LOTU.Totally recommended.

Blurb:

His name is Koldo. He is scarred, powerful, his control legendary-and he lives only for vengeance, determined to punish the angel who viciously removed his wings. But if he yields to the forces of hatred, he will be kicked from the heavens, eternally damned.

She is his last hope. Nicola Lane was born with a defective heart, yet this fragile human shows surprising strength as demons stalk her every move, determined to end her. She is the key to Koldo's deliverance...and his downfall. Though he fights duty, destiny and his first addictive taste of desire, his toughest battle will be the one for Nicola's life-even if he has to sacrifice his own...
