This is the first novel of Ms. Armintrout's Lightworld/Darkworld series. I really liked the unique story in this book. Goodbye Vampires and wolves to taking center stage. Hello Death Angel's and faeries.
Synopsis (on back of book): In a time not long from now, the veil between fantasy and reality is ripped asunder- creatures of myth and fairy tale spill into the mortal world. Enchanted yet horrified, humans force the magical beings underground, to colonize sewers and abandoned subway tunnels beneath their glittering cities.
But even magic folk cannot dwell in harmony, and soon two Worlds emerge: the Lightworld, home to faeries, dragons, and dwarves; and the Darkworld, where vampires, werewolves, angels and demons lurk.
Now, in the dank and shadowy place between Lightworld and Darkworld, a transformation is about to begin...
Ayala, a half faery, half human assassin, is stalked by Malachi, a Death Angel tasked with harvesting mortal souls. They clash. Immortality evaporates, forging a bond neither may survive. And in the face of unbridled ambitions and untested loyalties, an ominous prophecy is revealed that will shake the Worlds.
My thoughts: I enjoyed this book. It was different from your typical romance. Ayala is strong, independent, and completely kick ass! Malachi is a guy you just can't help but like. I gave this book a 5/5! I loved the fae creatures and their magical world, along with the inside look at their corrupted fae court.
I also loved the cover art for this book!
