A love so forbidden, it would shake the heavens

My father called them messengers.
He once told me they walked among us, and that somewhere in this dark and godless city, there shined a faint sliver of hope. I had only to look for the signs.

Well, I've spent my whole life investigating the inexplicable, and all I've found are the unsettling vestiges of iniquity - the evidence of another world shrouded by the obscure. Purgatory to some, where depravity hides in shadows, and girls like me are little more than delicious bites of temptation.

Others call it Nightshade.

This peculiar place is where I first met the cold and callous recluse living in a decaying cliffside cathedral. Jericho Van Croix is the epitome of everything I've been told to fear. A raven-winged harbinger who wears intrigue like a warm black cloak. An enigma that I'm determined to unravel – even if it means getting closer than I should.

One touch is forbidden. Even so much as a kiss would be my demise. But the sin on his lips burns me up like a wild flame, and his growing infatuation weakens my resolve.

Giving him what he wants, though, will mean no chance for redemption or escape. What's worse is, the signs I've followed yet failed to see all these years begin to unmask a terrifying reality:

That falling may be my only saving grace.

Erica’s review

This duology is interesting because as a whole I didn't love it but when I dissect it, it's super memorable and there are some great dark romance and dark fantasy aspects to it. I specifically read it for spooky season and it fits that bill 100%. My Husband used to travel a lot for work and I was deep into the series when I was reading it one night when he was out of town. I literally had to put it down and put Friends on. This is Angels and Demons and religious cults and reincarnation. Super gothic, creepy and dark. I enjoyed the writing and the mystery but I don't know, I guess it just wasn't my cup of tea. BUT, if you like those vibes - it's only a duology so pick it up!
