R.A. McCandless provides thrilling danger, fast-paced adventure, high-seas action, and heart-warming romance fill this novel, with a page-turning story that won't let you put it down. Del unwillingly works for the Throne, obeying the commands of the angel Ahadiel. She helps to keep the world safe from the horrors of escaped demons. At the same time, she keeps herself in the Throne's good graces. Whenever a rogue demon breaks free from Hell, she and her partner, Marrin, another Nephilim, work together to banish it.
Intricate, yet clear plotting, intriguing characters, and dual time lines kept this face-paced, smart story interesting through to the end. Such a joy to read an indie book that has all the flair of one produced by a major publishing house.
Great plot along with interesting concepts - something to think about long after reading!
Angels seem so helpful, but Del is deadly dangerous. Not all goodness and light. Someone to fight for right.
Very much enjoyed this book.
excellent book!
I appreciated the new approach to a story about angels.
Like nothing I have ever read. I LOVED it!
R.A. McCandless is an AWESOME, creative writer. You will LOVE what he does!
Even though I did not finish reading it (this one and several others) I love it and intend on finishing it. Go Rob, go!
Straight story, well written, easy to read. I also thought it an original take on what I thought was to be a retold many times tale.
RobRoy is AWESOME!!!!
Great first book! Well written and loved the characters. Hoping for a sequel!
Exciting story, the novel takes you to a new world!
