Decades after being banished from Heaven for saving a life he shouldn’t have, Lash is given a chance to redeem himself. His mission: protect Naomi Duran, a young woman who has lost her faith. The assignment proves to be anything but simple when his superiors, the Archangels, withhold key information about Naomi and refuse to restore Lash’s powers. When an unexpected source reveals centuries-old secrets, his trust is shaken to the core, and he begins to doubt those whom he had once considered to be his greatest allies.

Determined to avoid anything that would risk his chances of returning to Heaven, Lash struggles with the greatest obstacle of all—his growing feelings for Naomi. But when her life is threatened by an unknown source, Lash questions the wisdom of the Archangels and his ability to keep her safe. 

Soon, Lash will have to choose where to place his faith—in the home he has fought so hard to regain or in the forbidden love he can’t bear to lose.

My Review:

*A copy of this book was provided by Netgalley*

I was actually really excited when I saw the cover of the book, it got me to want to read it ASAP! Lash ended up being an exciting book to read and I can't wait to read the second book.

The story was unique, something that I've never read before. It definitely stood out from all of the YA angel books that I've read before. The characters are very well developed in the story that there is only room to appreciate the plot. After being banished from Heaven, Lash is on the mission to do anything in his power to be able to go back home. His mission really starts when he is set out to protect Naomi Duran, but what he doesn't know is that his faith is tested in this mission and courage. Being the rebel one is not always easy, especially when his mistakes caught up with him later on in the story. He will have to learn how to complete his mission and protect the girl he loves.

Naomi was always told that she was special, but she never expected to be in the middle of a battle between the good angels and the fallen, who have sided with Lucifer. Now she'll have fight to protect those she loves and find the true meaning behind her mark.

I love how the story is set up, like I mentioned before, the plot is unique and exciting. I loved the chemistry between Lash and Naomi. They fit so well together and Lash is funny. He is the rebel anyone can literally fall in love with! On the contrary, Naomi is independent yet sometimes too stubborn for her own good. I also like how the book is written, I like mix of Spanish words in the book. It made it that much more exciting to read. Overall, the book was great and enjoyable. I would recommend everyone to give it a try, you will not regret it.
