The Book of Azrael by Amber V. Nicole
4.0
Never before have I read such an intense enemies-to-lovers tale. The gulf between the two main characters - Diana and Liam - was so extreme, so vast, with such unforgivable things they'd each done to the other between them like seemingly immovable boulders, that I don't know how the author managed to so convincingly bring them together.
And bring them together she did! In a sizzling "I'd die for you" kind of way.
I really enjoyed this book. Although it has a good few recognisable tropes I feel like the storytelling and structure of the story was very unique. I also loved the world-building. Or should that be worlds? Love a bit of Sci-Fi mixed in with my fantasy!
Diana was also an incredibly interesting character. She was about as morally grey as they come (and how nice is it for it to be the girl for once?) but I loved her journey. Liam also had quite a transformation throughout the book. He's a good guy, but he's completely shut off his emotions and that's not a good thing for anyone concerned.
The only thing that slightly marred my experience was the ending. It was just a little too mushy-monologue-y for my liking after all the badassery. Certainly not enough to put me off reaching for the next book, however, as there's clearly going to be more to this story and I'm looking forward to it.
