Juliette Cross

Anya—a stoic, blue-winged angelic warrior—was bitten by a demon prince in battle, and now she has precious little time to find a cure for his deadly venom. But the only archangel with the power to stop the dark poison from corrupting her body and soul is missing. She’ll have to trust her guide, the outcast high demon Dommiel, who is as handsome as he is dangerous if she has any hope. An outcast of his own kind, high demon Dommiel stays under cover while the war between angels and demons rages on. When the only person who ever showed him kindness asks for his help, he has no choice but to try to save the angel. Venturing back into the dens he has avoided for so long, Anya makes him want and feel things he never thought possible. But Dommiel knows there is no way an angel can ever love a demon...

*i was given a copy of this book by the author for an honest review*

so let me start off by saying i LOVE Juliettes writing and i was more than excited to get my hands on this newest read and boy did it live up to my expectations! i loved it, this storyw asnt like a lot of paranomal romance out there, then again nothing Juliette Cross ever is and its SO refreshing. there is something extra to each story something that makes it so its smooth without the whole "ok i know this is fiction but dang that's off the wall insane even for a fictional world" instead her stories almost feel like a fairytale thats made for an adult with all the dark and sexy parts blending into the magic parts perfectly leaving you both enchanged and satsfied. 

The world has fallen, the gate to both heaven and earth is open making it so that earth is both battle ground and in many ways wasteland. humans are a dying breed that's thinning more and more by the day, demons are ruling territories and causing mayhem whenever they see fit while angles battle to send them back to hell both sides not seeming to care what damage they do in the process.

on a journey to find a lost archangel a demon and and angle will band together to make an unlike team, but a rock solid one.

i looooooved Dommiel from the moment he swaggered onto the page, i mean a broken and bruised demon who cared enough to save humans? add in the fact that all animals seemed to love him, he was hilarious and just the right amount of crude and you have me sold.

Anya was wonderful too, she wasn't overly whiney or annoying, she was passionate and full of passion for the things she believed in while not too slowly growing to understand that there really was no such thing as black and white in this world and maybe there never was..

this story was amazing, there was the perfect about of world building without fact dumping, it never felt too heavy but i could still picture everything and i understood the stylems in play with the magic and power of both sides. the story was beautifully done in dark tones made light with humor and understanding. the whole time this pair was together i felt like they not only helped each other but they gave hope to this insane world that was now the new normal.

all in all another incredible read from Juliette Cross and a MUST read!!

Are you a Juliette Cross fan? Wow, Darkest Heart (Dominion #1) won me over.

Dommiel is cocky, arrogant and bit of a charmer that I adored. Best part is how protective he is towards Anya. They are so cute together with their fun banter and good sexual tension.

What's a demon to do when his shrivelled up heart wants the very wrong kind of female, especially when she is of the Angelic persuasion???

These two souls show that not every demon is evil to the core and every Angel has a sliver of darkness, just like us poor humans. They can only trust each other, they are each the target for the others side. 

Dommiel left his demon kindred behind but Anya and her fellow angels haven't exactly welcomed him with open arms. Uriel is suitably dark and evil and a soul stealer to boot! 

Superbly atmospheric and a great read!
