I received an ARC for this book in exchange for a review and this is my HONEST opinion.
Now that we got all of these cute trigger warnings out of the way... Let me just say how gigantic the world building for this was. Your typical Keri Lake read, there is a reason she is one of my current favorites. If you are looking to jump into an universe with angels, demons, religious cults and an incredible tale with reincarnation and purgatory elements, this is for you.
My favorite thing about Keri is that you can tell how much work she puts into her books and how many times she edits them. For a book that is almost 700 pages long, you will not catch a single vocabulary repetition, you will not catch cringy dialogues or typos and that is something I pay attention to A LOT when it comes to indie authors.
I am used to this world, this is my style, this is what I look for, paranormal gothic romances are MY THING and this hits every single spot.
Again, I feel like I need to mention the size of this world building, the fact that Keri needed to commit to making this a DUOLOGY ladies and gents, will give you a clue about how incredible this is. This story will mess with your mind, will make you doubt what you know, will unlock some new kinks for you (eyepatch, *cough* *cough*) and FEATHER play *cough* *cough*.
All I gotta say is: angels, demons, witches, cults, past/present shifts (I love when stories are told like this and Keri is so good at it), male and female POV in the first person, gigantic world building, about to be a duology, ends on a *mild* cliffhanger, and you are going to get some fun new kinks. Doesn't get better than this. Just read it.
