Their love could save the soul of a fallen angel or damn an archangel to an eternity in hell.
The realm of angels was created as a paradise where angels could watch over the earth as mankind took his first steps. For the archangel Michael, it is the only home he has ever known and he could never envisage another life. Michael’s life changes the day his path crosses that of the favoured son of the morning. From the moment he saw him, Michael wanted Lucifer for his own. When the two angels come together the passion surprises them both.
Their love is forged in heaven, but is doomed the moment Lucifer falls from grace to become the leader of an army of demons.
Separated by war, the former lovers know the time will come when they must face each other in battle.
Their confrontation will set in motion events that neither could have foreseen. For Lucifer it is the chance to persuade Michael to stand at his side, as his partner as leader of the demons. For Michael, it is a mission to save his lover’s soul, while risking his own.
Torn between his love for Lucifer and his duties as an angel, Michael walks a fine line, where one wrong step could result in his own fall from Heaven, and an eternity in hell.
Publisher’s Note: Although this book contains characters from the Heavenly Sins series, this is a standalone story.
I have to be completely honest and say that I was really nervous and skeptical at first about whether I would like this book and if I would read it all the easy through. I love paranormal and sci fi books and this book is a little closer to reality then most books in this genre then I usually read with it being about heaven and hell, Angels and demons, good and bad, arch angels and the devil but I will stick with the complete honesty route and say that I truly loved this book. I was completely shocked by that and I am so very glad that I gave this book the chance it deserved because L.M. Brown wrote this book beautifully.
There is a strong pull where good and bad is concerned. It is not always easy to make the right decision. At most times it is a very hard decision to make and so easy to go with the bad because that is usually what will make you feel so good at the time. But that is what makes us human. What most humans do not realize is even angels and demons have that choice also and sometimes it is not an easy choice for them to make either and Michael learned that the hard way. Michael is ranked up their with the highest of angels and he earned that right. But sometimes he wondered if he truly deserved it.
Michael fell in love with Lucifer that first moment he seen him swimming and collecting his jewels. He may not have spoken to him immediately but he was drawn to him day after day and hoped that he would finally get the courage to talk to him one day.
One that day finally dawned on him and they finally spoke Michael was a goner. And even though Lucifer has also fallen for Michael, it was not enough for him. Lucifer has other things that he wanted and decided to take the leap and fall from grace to become the leader of the underworld. To say Michael was heartbroken is an understatement. Even though Lucifer turned a demon that did not stop the love that he felt for Him. He never gave up hope that he could help Lucifer to accept his angel status again.
It was both a rough and fun ride for these two along the centuries they spent as a couple. Their relationship caused a lot of talk about angels and demons being together but it never detoured Michael’s belief that Lucifer would one day be an angel again. At the same time Lucifer was constantly trying to manipulate Michael into joining him in leading the underworld and at times Michael was truly concerned he might.
Things became really bad between the two of them when Lucifer got drunk one night on power and pushed Michael to far. Michael had to make a decision. Did he decide to be reborn and give up his memories of his time as an angel and time with Lucifer or did he continue to take the chance of Lucifer convincing him to join him in the underworld? Michael made one of the hardest decisions he could ever make and choose to give up the man he has loved for centuries and his memories of him because he knew that if not he would end up being manipulated into doing something he never wanted to do.
This is where the story truly began for them.
This book was so amazing that I was not able to put it down. I truly enjoyed this read much much much more then I ever imagined I would and I am so glad that I have this book a chance. I hope others will do the same because it is truly a magnificent read.
