“Why choose when I can have all of them.”

5 Stars
⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I found a new paranormal reverse harem romance series to drool over! Shadows Spark is the first book of the Wings Of Darkness And Light series and it was so much fun to read! I love chaos, dark humor, spice, and a good paranormal story. It was to give this first book 5 stars. The cliffhanger was hard but luckily the spice was able to make up for it and I was able to pick up book 2 right away. 

I could go on and on about the MC and her harem. Syd turns into a badass, Gage (ugh), Oz is so fun, and Bryan is freaking adorable! I loved the different dynamics between all the characters and you WILL fall in love with the side characters (Grazi is my spirit animal). The spice is at a good smolder level and @c.rochelle_author knows how to make a girl blush. Pointing out the hypocrisy of heaven and hell was the icing on this spicy cake. 

From the author’s description:

The Wings of Darkness + Light 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.

What just happened??!?!?

Firstly, my opinion on angels surely has changed. I thought they would be nice, cute and helping supernaturals having vanilla sex, but oh no I was so wrong. The angel is a devil in sex and if that doesn't increase the appeal, I don't know what does. 
Secondly, @CRochelle surely knows how to give a heartattack! Killing one, letting the other one be taken away & the ending!! What a cliffhanger! Ugghhh!!!!!!! I can't express how many exclamation marks I really mean to use!
Thirdly, the characters are amazing. The female lead grows and finds herself and shows strength and love. The men are too irresistible; not only rich in appearance, but also in personality and intelligence and I can't wait for more..

There are angels, demons and humans.
The story not only involves tons of sexual tension and release, but also gives importance to the dynamics of the new forming relationships. A reverse harem relationship isn't cakewalk, especially when they are supposed to be enemies. Every aspect is given the same amount of significance. The twists and turns are very curvy, so prepare yourself for a rollercoaster ride and be ready to scream. 

There are some parts where you'll be wondering how everything is happening so fast, but remember, this is paranormal and everything here is fated and meant for a reason. The writing initially will be a bit confusing, but you'll get the hang easily. 

~~~~~~
Sydelle is a demon, an Usher, i.e; she lies in the lowest tier in the Soul Regiment of the Demonic Forces of Hell. Initially, she doesn't understand her powers but as the story continues she becomes more aware and grows into a powerful, badass female.

Oz is an angel and has been alive even before the age of Cleopatra. He's funny, caring, protective, scary (when he has to be), sex crazed but also thoughtful and knowledgeable.

Gage is a demon and has been Syd's friend since the beginning. He's a bit possessive and daunting but loves Syd with all his heart.

Brian is a human, an anthropologist of Angelic, Demonic, and ancient Egyptian societies. Exactly the kind of guy you'll want to have forever-- smart, ever excited for new things, lets you to take the lead and always loving. 

The fourth person is a secret which is revealed during the end and so you have to read this book to find out, but hint: he's extremely loyal and is someone's friend.

I was totally invested in the plot and am desperately waiting for the sequel!!! (!×7319)

Ps: I'm calling dibs on Oz so everyone else please back away.♡
