wowsers!
Now this is what you call a debut! Literally just finished it, and ran straight to here.
'Raphael wants me bred, Lucifer wants me broken.'
Seraphina is the last siren. She watched the rest of her choir die horribly.
The plot, the characters.... especially Dagon, his obsession over her and desire to keep her with him at all costs, he made an excellent baddie.
The way the author wrote this, weaved the story, with all the descriptions, made for a lovely read, the sort you want to take your time over to fully appreciate.
This story has:
enemies to lovers
betrayal
angels and demons
obsession
and spice. Omg, the spice!
This is an author to watch.

You know you have read a good book when you end up hating one of the characters. Dagon is an ass. Chelsea's debut novel is well written, with a compelling storyline that keeps you hooked all the way through. Twists that you don't see coming, and a touch of spice that leaves you wanting more! Strong lead characters that you root for all the way through. Thankyou Chelsea for letting me ARC read this unputdownable adventure!

I found this book a bit challenging to get into from the start. By around 20%, I felt I didn’t yet have a clear sense of many of the characters, aside from Sera, which made it difficult at times to keep track of who was who. With several characters introduced fairly quickly and only light physical descriptions, I sometimes found myself rereading passages to stay oriented.
The plot felt quite fast paced and layered, which unfortunately made it harder for me to fully connect with the story. For that reason, I decided to set this one aside for now.
That said, other readers may really enjoy the complexity and expansive cast. While it wasn’t the right fit for me at this time, I may consider revisiting it in the future.

This was an incredible debut and I’m so grateful I got to beta read. The ANGST. The YEARNING. The stunning prose and gorgeous dialogue. This is a book to take your time with and relish every word.
It’s a strong enemies to lovers plot with an ‘us against the world’ undercurrent in the end. The final chapters hit hard and you’re not sure if Chelsea is going to brutally wound us or give us a lifeline but I won’t spoil it.
If you loved the angel themed episodes of supernatural this is the book for you, expect lots of heaven and hell fighting, mythical creatures and a fast paced plot that leaves you wanting more. I can’t wait for book 2. Thank you again for letting me be an early reader!

I devoured this book. The conflict between the characters keeps you wondering what will happen next. It is quite fast paced and spicy but it only adds to the story and the conflict and the attraction between the main characters. I’ve read some spicy books in the passport. This one stood out simply because of the fantastic story. I loved the idea of ethereal characters such as Lucifer and the fact that they have Demons and even sirens in the book is something I’ve not read before. I read the book quite quickly because I couldn’t put it down and without giving anything away I love the ending and fingers crossed it will continue.
