Speak My Name
Before time began, Frank was an Angel who followed his beloved Lucifer into battle. They were defeated, Frank lost his wings. He’s been falling ever since. Now he’s the sole tender of Darks, a bar at the edge of reality that is owned by hell. He longs for the company of his brother demons, the scorch of Lucifer’s heat. Instead he spends his nights serving drinks, tempting souls. Every night that passes is the same. Each human that stumbles in is the same. Lost. Desperate.
Mica is neither of those things. Human, but able to see through Frank to all his true forms. Mica seems sure of what he wants; not a savior, not an annihilator of souls. He wants Frank.
But Frank knows that demons are made for destruction, torment, not love. Until Mica touches him, he’s never wanted for more. For Frank to find the humanity he needs to return Mica’s love, he returns to hell to break Lucifer’s bond. But Lucifer has already released Frank. Now his attention is fixed on Mica’s soul.

Hooked from the start
This is proof that short stories can pack a lot in and not let anything suffer for it.
The world building was fantastic and fresh. I loved the imagery of the angel and demon at a bar

So an angel named Ithuriel sits at the bar and a demon called Frank serves drinks. In walks Mica, a beautiful young man whose upper lip is unmarked, because an angel neglected to touch him before he was born. Mica sees Ithuriel and Frank -- and the other creatures populating the bar -- for what they are. He's not afraid.
Frank finds that irresistible. The universe cracks and no one's lives will be the same.
Sweeping romance combined with visceral horror, Speak My Name is unpredictable, fascinating, and deeply emotional. I read it in one gulp.

Angels, Demons and everything in between
This book was so many wonderful things: a take on the universe of stories and characters in Heaven, Earth, and Hell as well as the power of friendship, love and the bonds of families we make as we find our way.
