Until a few weeks before graduation, when a voice compels her to kill herself and she wakes up in the Hell she's been dreaming of all her life, only to find it is very real. Lucifer wants her as his mistress and has been waiting a/>The ...more

I'd make this novel a 3.5. This novel has great creativity and world building, and this new author certainly holds some good landmarks for increasing finesse in future works. This book includes sex, so would really be for a NA to mature audience.
The work is contemporary, and for the younger characters I would have liked the use of dialogue contractions, whereas with the traditional characters you expect a level of formality.

The Third Throne: Angel of Darkness is a good example of the “New Adult” category. This is a sort of coming-of-age adventure tale aimed primarily at those from 16-20. There is some graphic sex which puts it beyond the classic “Young Adult” grouping.
The main character is a soon-to-be 18 year old high school girl who is aware that there is something different about her. In a fairly classic pattern, the outcast high-schooler wakes up to a world where there’s something unique and special ...more

Very good story. Interesting and entertaining take on Angels/Fallen Angels/etc. Michelle is a very likable character, love her inner strength despite all the hell (pun intended) she is forced to go through. Her story is definitely one I am glad to know.
To be honest, I would give the book a 4.5, only because there were times where the plot seemed to lull. It did always manage to pick back up, which made me glad that I did not move on from the book to pick up at a later date. If I was caught ...more

Are you a fan of dark romance? If yes, this is the book for you. This world is fascinating, and Tabitha's imagination is top notch. I loved the relationship between Lucifer and Michelle, but the other characters intrigued me as well. I'm looking forward to reading more. This author is definitely going on my TBR list!!

Great take on heaven and hell.
This is not my usual sort of RH I would go for but it had a really good storyline. I still feel bad for poor CJ I wish he got some kind of closure. Hopefully we will see him happy in latter books. I liked the take on Lucifer also but found him to be a little whinny at times. The apocalypse storyline is really great though and am interested to see where the angels she will collect will take the story.

A new world of angels
I love the different take on Lucifer and the apocalypse. I’m anxious to see how Lady Black’s relationship with all of her angels will unfold. The drama and mystery surrounding her past and future keep the book entertaining and her romance with Lucifer keeps you wanting to see more passion! I am disheartened by CJ not being around and hope that we’ll get to see him in the coming books.

Love this concept
This is probably my favorite story concept I have read in a long time. I was drawn in to the world and could not put the book down. I like the MC and am intrigued by the secondary characters. I took off a star bc I skimmed this book at times bc the explanations were long and at times boring. I will definitely continue this series.

This book was recommended to me so I thought I would give it a try. The writing is excellent, the characters are great and the setting/theme also good. I started struggling a little midway through but not enough to give up.
I am glad I carried on as it really picked up and I now need to read book 2, I do recommend this story as it has captured me, I am hoping to be able to give the next book a 5 star rating, I would recommend perseverance if like me you struggle a little as it is wort ...more

I loved it! I couldn't put it down!
Is it wrong to be swooning and excited by the devil? I don't care! Lucifer is dark and sexy, hot and powerful, and another book boyfriend for me!
The mystery as to who Michelle Black is great! I enjoyed finding out her real identity and her connection to Lucifer.
This book is intriguing, engaging, hot, passionate and fierce!
This book starts the series and I can't wait to read the rest!
A new favorite author of mine!
Must read!

I really wanted to like this book, and I really tried to push past the hang-ups I faced pretty much after the first few pages.
I cant' get into what it was because I don't want to poison anyone else from trying this book. what bothered me might not bother others. However I didn't like the fact that it felt like a teenager wrote this book. It was written very childishly. Yes, that is how I felt.

A very good read.... it totally shines a new light on how one thinks of angels and life in Hell. The author has great skills on world building, you could actually picture Hell quite vividly in your mind. I loved the characters and their personalities, especially Lucifer. It actually made me smile when he gets angry with someone like his servants and instantly wants to kill them.... I know that sounds kinda weird but you have to read it to understand what I mean. The relationship between Michelle

I don’t typically read a lot of paranormal romance, but this book’s amazing cover and intriguing blurb convinced me to dive in. And I’m so glad I did! This book had me hooked from the first chapter, and kept me reading well into the night.

So not what I expected
I opened this book expecting another Lucifer is bad, God is holy, Archangels control all sort of thing. But the way Tabitha wrote this book, I saw a whole other side of things........and I LOVED it!! Tabitha really wrote an amazingly addictive first book to this series

This is a very good book with incredibly detailed characters. The premise starts out fairly simple, then quickly evolves in a bit of an unexpected way.
The setting is super creative, and the theme is definitely young adult. Looking forward to her next work!

Man, I hate to say this, but I'm glad it's over.
The story started out great. I liked the mystery behind Michelle's nightmares and her relationship with CJ. Everything was new and shiny and I was exited to read the book. But it all started to go downhill the moment Michelle "died".
First of all, was it just me, or was anyone else annoyed by how indifferent Michelle was to the matter of her own death? She woke up in a fucking HELL, realized that she somehow died and was like "oh, well. What can you do ...more

We meet Michelle Black, a seemingly normal girl with boring parents, a doting uncle and a best friend that she has a crush on. Oh oh oh... and she can feel the sins people have committed and dreams of all the torture Hell has to offer on a nightly basis. Lately she's been hearing a voice whispering to her... Yeah... not so normal.
Lucifer, ruler of Hell wants the woman that he has been promised by Gabriel so so long ago. He feels the darkness taking over and he needs Michelle now!

Michelle Black lives an average life as she looks to her future beyond high school, but she is not an average girl. Plagued by nightmares of Hell and the unusual ability to see the sins of men, she stands apart from those around her. Deceived by a voice controlling her mind, she finds herself trapped in the place of her nightmares, Hell.

This was a tough one to rate, because I really loved how well the author gripped my attention from the beginning. However, it fell flat in several spots throughout the book and I had to skim through a lot of the conversations out of boredom.

3-1/2 stars for dialogue

I struggled with this book. The dialogues were too long and there was too much information that distracted from the plot and the relationship building. Though there was very little relationship building as such...
I gave 2 stars only because I actually finished it. I kept expecting something more but it fell flat. Not planning to read the next one in the series.

This book was an odd one! I sort of liked it but then I kinda didn't. Michelle is basically forced to kill herself because Lucifer keeps tormenting her in her mind and once she is in Hell, he basically forces himself on her to perform oral sex...I don't know, it just wasn't my type of book and it was very hard to finish.
The third throne was great. It sucked me in from the beginning and then took a turn I wasn’t expecting! It was really interesting to see the story told from Michelle/Anjali’s perspective from Hell and a major roller coaster! I’m dying to see what happens next! I can’t imagine what Lady Dark will have to do to find her 10 fallen Angels! Totally worth the read!
