Review: Eternal Sin by Ariana Nash
SYNOPSIS:
The fate of the world hinges on their shattered love. But can it be saved?
For as long as angels and demons have warred over London, battle lines have never been crossed and humans never hurt.
Now, everything has changed.
More powerful than ever, nothing can stop Mikhail’s crusade of vengeance against the demon who betrayed him.
Trapped as an angel, Severn is running out of time. To regain his true form, he must retrieve his wings, but there’s one problem: Mikhail. The guardian has Severn’s wings gruesomely displayed in the broken City of Aerie, high above London. Weak and heartsick, Severn’s power failing, he has no choice but to lie, cheat, and illusion his way back into Mikhail’s cold heart or die trying.
Destiny thought them fated mates.
Was destiny wrong?
REVIEW:
This book was so good, what a wild ride. It was nothing I anticipated but everything I wanted. Ariana Nash is a master at emotion-telling, where the characters emotions carry the story line. Mikhail’s rage and Severn’s heart-ache were palpable and had my heart breaking. Severn and Mikhail’s relationship is in ruins after the events of the Primal Sin and I could only hope that love would find a way in this book.
Mikhail is fueled by anger and hatred throughout half of this book and rightfully so. He is confused, hurt, and betrayed; but most of all, Mikhail can’t understand while beneath all these feelings, he still has love for Severn. And during their separation, Mikhail starts to descend into madness. Severn in comparison is realizing just how deeply his feelings for Mikhail run. I just adored the depth and growth these characters experienced throughout the book, both individually and as a couple.
While secrets have been exposed that could completely change the war, Mikhail and Severn now have the challenge of convincing others the truth. But at least they aren’t completely alone, the elusive and mystery old crone, Amii, pops up at the most random times. And they bring with them humor and wisdom, and I am dying to know their true identity, a secret that will hopefully be revealed in Infernal Sin.
The plot twists in this book were just as exciting as in the first, maybe even more so. I loved the endless surprises, both good and bad. And while it now seems as if the whole world is stacked against Mikhail and Severn, there is a glimpse of hope that maybe they can unite the demons and angels. I think my only complaint is these horrid cliffhangers that leave me filled with anticipation should be absolutely illegal. Thankfully, I already download the last book.
