Synopsis:
The totality of a solar eclipse lasts only a few short minutes. That’s more than enough time for an apocalypse to erupt.
Almost eighteen years have passed since the Eclipse changed the Earth forever, and Sebastian Za’in rose from the chaos and seized control, imposing his order on the broken planet. In a world ruled by fear and superstition, where all gods have perished, there is no one who can stand up to Za’in, the man rumored to be one of the Nephilim—hybrid offspring of Angel and Man. In a few short months, another Eclipse will occur, and while there are those who expect a new natural disaster, Za’in has plans of his own . . .
Completely unaware of this global turmoil, Kayla Steelryn has spent most of her life in a quiet village, longing to uncover her hidden past. When she leaves her home in search of answers, she finds herself faced with the truth about her identity, forced to choose between the two men she loves, and thrust into a conflict where she alone has the power to stop an event more disastrous than the end of the world

I honestly didn’t keep track!
My Opinion:
I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion.
The story follows Kayla who has been sheltered for as long as she can remember. Before she knows it, she is thrown into a world she knows nothing about and is trying to learn who she really is. This book has romance, action, suspense, and many other things all added up to deliver a story that is totally unique to anything else I have read.
It has been quite some time since I have read a book dedicated to the Nephilim (not including Storm and Fury by Jennifer Armentrout). Clyman created her own world that was unlike anything else I have ever read before. I found myself constantly reading to find out what would happen next (and staying up way too late reading).
I did notice that there was a lot of jumping around in the book. Some events just were not clear enough. I felt like sometimes the scenes were sharp and other times I was watching them unfold through a foggy window. I personally have never written a book (yet), but I would imagine it can be difficult to express your thoughts onto the page in a way so that people don’t have to read your mind. I did enjoy this book but I think it really could have been much better if scenes had more detail and the pace had slowed down just a bit.
Summary:
Overall, I really enjoyed the world that Clyman created. I liked the romance that was involved even though I will always be wishing for more. I found myself excited to get in bed and read for the night which must mean this is a good book. I hope you all enjoy it as well! Happy reading!
