I didn’t think there were any more surprises, but I was wrong.

My mission hasn’t changed, defeat Apollyon and free the souls trapped in the Netherworld, but everything just got a lot more complicated. I have a sister, my boyfriend’s a shifter controlled by my enemy, and now it’s not just my life that’s in danger, but my soul as well.

As the ruler of the Netherworld amasses an army, my to-do list gets stranger by the day.

Sneak into Shade City.
Get my boyfriend wings.
Find a lost realm.

But even if I manage to pull all that off, one burning question remains. How do I defeat an enemy I can’t kill without dying?

My Review

Shadow Angel: Book Three
by Leia Stone & Julie Hall
Book 3 in the Shadow Angel series
Rating: 4/5

What a way to end a series! This was a whirlwind! I kept thinking that there wasn’t enough time to finish the series yet. I was pleasantly surprised by how the authors were able to bring closure while also introducing a new character and explaining more of the mythology. Did I feel the book ended too quickly? Yes. Am I excited for a spinoff? Definitely. Do I regret reading this series? Never. LOL. Please read this series in order or you will be lost. They are quick and easy reads full of action and intrigue and romance.

First, the book covers continue to be brilliant and beautiful.
Second, I liked reading about strong heroines at every corner. The authors are amazing at writing strong and intelligent female characters who are still relatable and even make mistakes at times. They feel what they feel but also aren’t afraid to go after what they want. They protect their loved ones without regret.
Third, I always love a good redemption story. From the very beginning, we (the reader) are rooting for Gage and cannot wait to see what happens next. His story advances quickly and I was happy to look behind the curtain for what happened with Cael.
Fourth, I again cannot wait for what comes next. I need the next part. And I always appreciate an epilogue.

PG-13 content.

Highly recommend if you enjoy YA urban fantasy with light vs. dark action and romance.

About the Book

Title: Shadow Angel Book Two

Series: Shadow Angel #2
Genre: YA Urban Fantasy
Release Date: February 25, 2022

He’s gone, and the worst part is, I don’t know if he’s dead or alive.

I dealt with the curse. I picked my side. The hellish nightmare that I woke up to when I discovered I was a Watcher should be over, but it’s not. Weeks have passed with no sign of Gage and I can’t seem to move on, but a war is brewing and wallowing is no longer an option. With the ruler of the Netherworld after me, my new mission not only affects one realm, but all of them.

Save my mom.
Save the souls.
Save the world.

No pressure.

My Review

Shadow Angel: Book Two
by Leia Stone and Julie Hall
Rating: 4.5/5

This epic story continues after that crazy cliffhanger from Book One! You definitely should read the first book in the series because it’s awesome and this story picks up right where Book One left off. This author duo is great at action and high stakes suspense. They aren’t afraid to break our hearts and then give them back.

First, the cover is gorgeous (as always) and deserves to be seen in person (I will be ordering the special hardback when available). What book cover lover won’t want the special edition? 😉

Second, the story continues with a new character that is amazing and powerful and I want to know more! Yes, I’m talking about Aurum and you’ll be talking about Aurum too.

Third, the sweet love story between the main characters continues to make readers swoon and sigh in awe. There are definitely some very romantic moments in the midst of all the action.

Fourth, that ending! I won’t say more but come on! You’ll just have to read the series to find out.

I cannot wait to read what comes next and am excited to delve into this fantastic world again.

PG-13 content – some swear words.

Highly recommend if you enjoy stories about light and dark and the characters who fall in love against all odds.

Shadow Angel by Leia Stone and Julie Hall

About the Book

Title: Shadow Angel
Series: Shadow Angel #1
Authors: Leia Stone and Julie Hall
Genre: YA Urban Fantasy
Release Date: January 21, 2022

From the moment I saw the shadows come to life, I knew my world would never be the same.

Yesterday I was a teenager waiting tables in Manhattan, and today, monsters exist and I can see them.

Overnight I’m thrown into the realm of the Watchers, a society of earthbound angels split into two factions: The Shades, whose powerful dark magic is given to them by the fallen angels, and the Lumens, whose abilities are bestowed on them by the archangels of Avalon.

They’re on opposite sides of a brutal war, and I only have a few days to pick which side I want to join. I’m ready to choose when the Shades force my hand by cursing someone I love.

The only hope I have of saving them rests on the broad shoulders of the prickliest Shade alive, Gage Alston. He’s cold, arrogant, and quite possibly the most attractive guy I’ve ever laid eyes on.

Do I trust him? No.
Do I need him? Yes.
Do I want to kiss him? Maybe.

Perhaps I’ll choose darkness after all.

My Review

Shadow Angel
by Leia Stone and Julie Hall
Book 1 in the Shadow Angel series
Rating: 4.5

When two of your favorite authors start a series together, you can’t help but squeal with glee and rush to read the ARC when available. I finished this book in a few hours. I could not and did not want to put the book down. It is a great start to a series and I cannot wait to read more.

First off, that cover is gorgeous and definitely makes a prospective reader go, “I need to read that!”. Second, the authors are great by themselves but they definitely play off of each other’s strengths. Third, the world building is well done but not overwhelming. There’s a 3D map of the Lumen Compound at the beginning and then an educational graphic from the school. I love any and all visuals that the authors wants to include. The world seems somewhat familiar but different so it’s still relatable and begs to be explored. Fourth, the main characters were memorable and made you, as the reader, want to root for them. Who hasn’t at some point in their life crushed on a bad boy? The supporting characters are also a blast and I would love to learn more about them and their stories. Fifth, the story is just beginning and deserves to be read.

Highly recommend if you enjoy YA urban fantasy with angel and demons, humor and romance!

PG-13.
