Shadows Smolder Wings of Darkness + Light Book 2

C. Rochelle โ€” 2020
**WARNING: THIS BOOK CONTAINS A CLIFFHANGER** Ancient origins Shaky alliances Overwhelming media attention More men than one bed can hold Well, it's official. I'm a legendary divine being with mysterious origins who needs my chosen Champions to boost my powers through supernatural sexcapades. I would care what my parents thought--if only I could find out who they were. To unearth my ancestry, I need to locate the long-lost access point to the original Garden of Eden. All while allowing a tenacious human reporter to create a camera-ready version of me as the savior of all mankind. But first, I need to rescue one Champion from Heaven, convince another to stop playing hard-to-get, and decide how I feel about a dangerous ancient being who intends to create a world-ending Antichrist baby with me.Take it easy, boys--there's plenty of me to go around. The suspicious motives of Heaven, and the discovery that an old acquaintance in Hell may secretly have my back, have made me question whom I can really trust...including within my own team. And when it comes to the fine line I'm already walking between darkness and light, I may not even be able to trust myself. -- The Wings of Darkness + Light series is an alternate history that imagines "What if angels and demons walked among us?" This is a steamy, medium-burn (heat index 3-4) paranormal romance with an urban fantasy setting and a reverse harem that builds over time. Our heroine is a force to be reckoned with and never has to choose just one man. MMFMM Multiple POV This series is meant for readers 18 and over. Book ends on a cliffhanger. Possible triggers: Sweary dialogue Graphic sex Plenty of side-eye toward the Old and New Testament and societal class systems Brief scene of attempted sexual assault

(Spoilerโ€ฆ book 3 is even hotter). This series is at the top of my 18+ Reverse Harem list and I will recommend this to any of my spicy reader friends. Syd is slowly piecing together her origin story all while โ€œfueling upโ€ with her boys, being followed by a tiny but fierce reporter named Kim, dodging and not dodging the asshole Victor, and questioning the motives of heaven. Shadows Smolder brought such awesome growth in the relationship between Syd and her champions. Here are the boys as a reminderโ€ฆ Brian the part-time counselor and sexy scientist, Oz the big softy, Gage the broody demon, and finally Cayโ€ฆ massiveโ€ฆ heart, yep that. You will not be ok after reading the 2nd book in this brilliant and spicy series. Yes, you will be wet and entertained but the cliffhanger will have you throwing your kindle and your love for C. Rochelle will help pick up the pieces while you immediately get the next one.

I'm not okay after reading this. I need the next book ASAP & I won't mind hurting someone for the copy. I cannot express how much I love this book! It had absolutely everything-- mystery, suspense, sizzling, red hot romance, conspiracy theories and the entertaining thoughts of each and every character. There were parts where I got goosebumps, wanted to knock some sense into someone and definitely wanted to keep Oz with me. I was already in deep thinking about the upcoming events, but then more twists kept on coming and now I don't know what to think. Just like I said in the previous book's review that this book is going to be a rollercoaster ride; I stand by corrected because IT DEFINITELY IS! There's more openness within the relationship now. The champions are ready to share, watch and participate. "๐‘†โ„Ž๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘–๐‘›๐‘” ๐‘–๐‘  ๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘–๐‘›๐‘” ๐‘–๐‘› ๐ท๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘˜ ๐‘€๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘๐‘ฆโ€™๐‘  โ„Ž๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘’๐‘š." Syd is getting a hang of her powers and the situation. The angels and demons are not working to protect the humans now, but for an ulterior motive. Not only does the 4th champion give in, but also we have a blast from the past hellbent on having Syd for himself. We get insights to each any every champion's personality and thinking; their insecurities and strengths. The story keeps on getting more and more interesting and there's absolutely no clue what book 3 will hold. I couldn't keep this book down even if I wanted to, which I never did, but still. ๐—”๐—•๐—ฆ๐—ข๐—Ÿ๐—จ๐—ง๐—˜๐—Ÿ๐—ฌ ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ% ๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—–๐—ข๐— ๐— ๐—˜๐—ก๐——๐—˜๐——!!

Ok I loved this book. Itโ€™s the second in the series and I canโ€™t wait for the next one! Iโ€™m a sucker for angels and demons, and I love a special snowflake main character with mysterious unknown importance. That + reverse harem and heat and this was sooo fun. I liked the main character a lot. She wasnโ€™t annoying or weak or unrealistically strong - she just seemed like a normal person, all things considered. Iโ€™m in love with Oz and the other guys are ๐Ÿ”ฅ too. This was a great continuation to the series with a crazy reveal and cliffhanger at the end. Highly recommend!
