The Book of Azrael: 1 (Gods & Monsters)

Product Information

This book was advertised as two villains who fall in love or something like that; I can't remember exactly, but I know Dianna was announced as a villain, but she's not.

To be fair the first few chapters or so I was still totally confused but once I kept reading it all came together. The conflict and the factions are clearly defined in their context, no overbearing history lecture was given, a thing many experienced fantasy authors still struggle with.

Now enemies older than time must put aside their differences and work together in hopes of saving both their world and every realm in between. The plot was very engaging and kept me hooked on the story of Dianna and Liam…the emotional and profound relationship development between the MCs was just incredible. It follows both the protagonists as their stories entwine in dual POVs which connected the story in a totally graceful way.

Now she does what Kaden asks, even if that means securing an ancient relic from the very creatures that hunt her. Well, Liam does the same thing with the Ig’Morutthens, thinking he’s fixing a problem and doing what a king would do, but everyone is mad at him.I wanted her hands on every single part of me, and I wanted it more than I had ever wanted anything in my life. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly why the writing wasn’t good other than that it just felt on the low end of mediocre. I’m not sure if that was part of their deal or if that was like a thing that naturally occurred and was somehow mutual(but it would still be coerced if Dianna felt she needed to do it to keep her sister alive) or if Kaden raped Dianna.
