This anthology was so awesome.
The genres of this anthology are incredibly varied, there is deep poetry, to horror stories, to hot romance. And while I normally wouldn't think about having that together in one book, it worked extremely well in this anthology. Everything fit so so well together with the overarching theme of angels, while there were still so many different styles of artistic pieces in this book.
And that is one thing I absolutely loved about it. Each new piece gave me something completely new to experience, something new to love or be absolutely horrid about. But together it all made sense and was incredibly well put together.
As the smut lover I am I really enjoyed the sexy bits in this book. They were hot as hell (intended joke). I had already read stuff from Freydís Moon and absolutely love how they write smut scenes. With this book they totally deliver again and makes me love their work even more. They are not the only author that wrote sex scenes in this book and I totally have to say those were just as great. Resta Con Me by Ian Haramaki was less poetic than most of the pieces in this anthology, but it was a stort story that gripped me from the start and ended very hot.
There is also poetry, both with and without sexual content, and while I do struggle a lot with poetry myself I did really appreciate those too. I'm still coming back to those pieces every few days to read them again. I might come back and edit this paragraph sometime later if I feel the need. But know it were really awesome pieces.
There was also a lot of horror and gore in this book and it was done so well. It was disgusting, but awe inspiring at the same time. There was a lot of blood and pain and bones sticking out, but all those bodily injuries fit so so well with a theme of angels who are usually these pure clean things, it really added a lot to the theme overall.
All together this anthology was dope and I am so happy to have found even more authors to check out and love.
I received an eARC and this was my honest review.
