Another reread for me, we got Reaver's story now we get to experience the other side of the coin with his newly discovered twin brother and counter opposite Revenant and he's quite frankly and rightly so a bit pissed at the shitty hand he's been dealt by the powers that be. Not only has he been under the mistaken belief that he's a fallen angel he discovers that his brother is also the reason his memory was wiped twice as the rules are what happens to one must also happen to the other twin. So ultimately Reaver's choices have been impacting his existence for a fair while and he's naturally wallowing in some bitterness and anger and also experiencing a sense of displacement over where he actually fits and then there's the fact that his brother seems to be the golden brother whilst he was largely been thrown away forgotten and allowed to be tainted by the evil of Sheoul.

Because of the events that transpire in Reaver Revenant is now a shadow angel direct counterpart to his brother's Radiant status and the second most powerful being in Sheoul only second to Satan in power and now both heaven and hell want his loyalties but both sides offer little in the way of an incentive so for the moment Revenant decided to concentrate on his own survival whichever the way the chips then fall. 

With Gethel now pregnant with a reincarnated Lucifer and charged by Satan with her care he recruits Blaspheme a false angel doctor who works at Underworld General. The plan is simple knowing Lucifer will eventually replace him Revenant sets out to prevent Lucifer's rebirth but without directly getting his own hands dirty plausible deniability. The fact that he's massively attracted to Blaspheme is of little consequence as he plans to do his usual hit and then move on but Revenant doesn't count on his newly emerging emotions becoming involved which definitely complicates everything.

Blaspheme though has secrets and her cover is fading fast she's the forbidden offspring of an angel and a fallen angel which is a death sentence so, for now, she's hiding in plain sight under the disguise of a false angel but assassin angels are on her trail and she's now running out of options there's also the fact that Revenant is the destroyer a being tasked with hunting her kind down and Blaspheme is terrified he'll discover just who she really is.

This was fast-paced and a great read each book in this series is well-written and engaging and the world-building for this series is second to none. I actually like Revenant as a character more than his twin he just seems less sanctimonious and Reaver can sometimes get a bit judgy also his upbringing has shaped him in ways that Reaver just couldn't comprehend he's also not as bothered about right and wrong and I've always preferred a more villainous multilayered grey anti-hero over there heroic counterpart. But I did love that these two separated siblings finally managed to reconnect and eventually find a common ground together.

The spice with this was also good and Revenant and Blaspheme had plenty of chemistry together and I liked them as a couple. We also get to revisit with plenty of familiar faces from the series and overall this was an excellent addition to the series as a whole.
