🌟🌟🌟.5 [3.5]

An espionage story with angels, demons, and humans—what's not to love? The action is non-stop; every chapter throws you right into the thick of it. Amber and Hailey are fantastic leads – a truly unstoppable team, fiercely loyal and incredibly compelling. The fast-paced dialogue keeps you glued to the pages, though the writing style felt like it focused more on conversation than description since the dialogue bounced back and forth seamlessly, which could be a dealbreaker for others, but I really enjoyed it. The action scenes were obviously more descriptive but more so on straightforward than flowery writing. A little problem when it comes to a back and forth dialogue is establishing a voice for each character. I felt that the characters sometimes sounded pretty similar to each other and the things they say sounded a bit out of character at times, possibly due to the book's shorter length, meaning we didn't get as much time with them as I'd have liked to establish their own personalities. But honestly, the core idea is brilliant, and I flew through the whole book. I would love a sequel to delve deeper into the complex politics between angels, demons and humans, and to explore the world and psychic power system.

Overall, this book was fun and action packed, and I'd love to see more.

The prologue was fast and engaging, hooking me right from the start. The book overall was a fun and thrilling read. The cover and blurb gave me a sense of nostalgia, reminding me of the types of books I loved selecting as a teen.

Hailey and Amber are super badass female characters. They are strong, logical, and incredibly capable, which made them so enjoyable to follow throughout the story.

While I enjoyed the fast pace and found it easy to read in a day, I would have liked more information about the world. For example, why was the world at war? A little more backstory would have added depth to the already intriguing premise.

The twists were enjoyable, and I think this series has a strong foundation for amazing future installments. The mix of psychic powers, high-stakes intrigue, and hidden conspiracies kept me entertained throughout.

If you're looking for a quick, action-packed read with strong female leads and a touch of mystery, this book delivers.
