Solid second installment

The story gets more interesting as we learn more about what’s really going on. I like how the plot thickens! Definitely a little more action in this installment.

New characters are introduced, some are not well fleshed out and a bit one dimensional. We’ll see how it goes from here.

The twee nature of the romance continues as it seems the main character fawns a little too much too quickly over her love interest. It’s not bad, just wish she had more lady balls.

Ends on a cliffhanger that makes you need to pick up book 3. Book 3 seems mighty interesting indeed!!!!

Well...

Well first let me start by saying the narration in this book is great, I don't know why anyone's complaining about that, it's the storyline that had me gagging repeatedly. The first book was great, I really enjoyed it, and found it easy to get into, but book 2? Blech! The story switched from scifi/fantasy to toxic teen romance. There was barely any forward momentum in any of the plot lines except the cringy and borderline toxic love story. A centuries old fallen angel who is so insecure he needs constant validation mixed with a 22 year old virgin with PTSD. He's so needy and she's so desperate, I swear if it were real life by the last book there'd be a restraining order between them. There's just so much more that this book could have been! I'm going to give the 3rd book a go because I downloaded it before I listened to this one, I am praying it gets back to the main storyline. It had the potential to be better.

I love this series

I’m happy that things are going well & I hope it continues to in relationships or I can’t handle this series. As a sustvovor myself, I can totally relate to how and why things are the way they are - I remember being her age or younger and repeatedly having bad experiences because I didn’t have a loving and helpful Mason to stop when I said stop. Because of that, it took many more years and a marriage to trust my husband. So I can relate. Mason & Jess is the reason I read these books. I’m excited to be reading this series. I would class it more of a young romance with supernatural elements. And nowadays, warning of historical child…
You have to read the first book to appreciate how the characters are the way they are. I love them all!!!!!! So many coming & it’s exciting & I can’t wait to read more. But mainly because of M & J…let’s see where this goes! I can’t wait! Don’t disappoint me!
Oh and one of reason I picked this was for the narrator. I spent a long time looking for another narrator I liked after finishing another series. This one is great. Just use the speed button to bring it down 1 I found. Great author, great narrator.

Book 2 ect

First book is decent good has a lot of purpose and storyline, this second book is a lot of chapters of a silly teenager romantic love story that takes a lot away from the storyline, makes the heroine less of a strong woman than the previous book. Third book starts off good again story line progressing along not sure how it ends yet hopefully a lot less of the drawn out pointless romance. I’ll review that one when it’s done.

Painfully unbelievable story

I picked this one up because it was free (included with membership), at the same time as the first novel in the series, which was a decent listen. Part two was painful to slog through - I couldn't do it, skipping through most of the last two chapters. The eons old angels seem neither angelic nor eons old, and the male lead pines over his mortal love interest like a horny teenager. The main story arc barely advances in the entire book, and there was barely any character development in a meaningful way. I won't be continuing the series, though I must say, it was narrated well.
