When Angels Fall

Trinity Marrow has lost the battle and her beloved Protector. Even with both demons and Wardens on her side, Trin may not win the war against the Harbinger.

Bringing Lucifer back to the world to fight the Harbinger is probably a really, really bad idea, but they’re out of options—and the world’s ultimate fallen angel is the only being powerful enough to impact the outcome.

As Trin and Zayne form a new and more dangerous bond and Lucifer unleashes Hell on earth, the apocalypse looms and the world teeters on the end of forever. Win or lose, one thing is certain—nothing will ever be the same.

4.5 stars

The final book in the Harbinger trilogy, this book brings all of the action, excitement and heart-stopping romance that I was hoping for, and it finishes off the series beautifully – while still leaving the door open for Armentrout to return to this world again. It’s such a great read, and I loved it!

Pretty much everything I say will be a raging spoiler for the story, so this will be a short and vague review.

The last book left us on a nasty cliffhanger, and I have been so excited to see how this final instalment will play out. This book picks up right where the last one finished, and it was full of surprises from the very beginning. I was not expected the story to go in the direction it did, but wow, what a ride!

It’s not as fast-paced as I thought it would be, and a lot of the book is spent dealing with the emotional love story, and Trinity’s journey as the story builds towards its climax. There’s still lots of action and fighting as Trinity and Zayne fight to prevent the Harbinger from literally unleashing hell on earth, and with Roth and Layla returning with Lucifer himself to help fight on team good, it’s all happening as the team risk sparking the actual apocalypse in order to save the day.

There’s a fantastic cast of characters helping along the way – Roth and Layla are sensational as always, but the rest of the wardens, Cayman, Peanut, and an angel or two all make appearances, and bring so much to the story. The sarcasm, quips and pop culture references are flying thick and fast, and it’s funny and entertaining, and I loved being back in this world!

A tight smile appeared on Grim’s face. “I always know. I’m like Santa, but with more death.”
“Wow,” I murmured. “That comparison just ruined Christmas for me.”

And bringing so much heart to the story, the romance is just gorgeous. There is so much swoon, and I loved that JLA bought there was so much emotion in the middle of all of the chaos.

“You are all I ever wanted, even before I knew what I wanted. It was you. It was always you.”

There are shocks and frights and more than one heart-stopping moment, but the story ends in a great place, bringing satisfying closure to Trinity and Zayne’s story. But having said that, I would be totally on board if we get to revisit these characters again.

Such a great read. 4.5 stars.
