“Heart of a Warrior Angel” grabbed me from the first page with an all-too relatable tale of abuse and survival that spanned several continents. I really love books with interesting characters and fascinating backstories and this one had both in spades! Mira grows up in her father’s house in Tblisi, Georgia, the favorite daughter… a little too favored. She rebels and begins to date Dragon, and soon finds herself pregnant by him. In a battle between an overly domineering father and boyfriend, the women are caught in the middle and abused, and Mira, and her daughters Lilac and Jasmine are no exception. The young family moves to Jerusalem for a time, and then eventually immigrates to Canada. I loved the detail of this novel present in each setting, from the streets of Tblisi, to the saltwater seas of Israel, to the new family’s experiences opening a deli in Canada. Lilac’s painful childhood was so vividly cast for the reader, from sneaking into the movies to see Bambi, to needing to steal clothes to have something clean to wear, to an arranged marriage her father tries to set up when she was only sixteen. Lilac is fiercely protective of her three younger sisters, wanting to shelter them from her father’s abuse. Lilac is bright and determined, forging a future and career for herself and always thinking of her sisters and mother before herself, even as she’s trapped with Dragon.
After Lilac and her mother and sisters are forced to confront their father one terrible day, and their lives change forever, Lilac begins the next stage of her spiritual journey. I loved seeing her strength and resilience as she undertook a path of self-discovery and peace and moved forward to live a beautiful and fulfilling life despite her father’s abuse.
This is an intense, heartbreaking tale. Be warned.
I want to start by saying I’ve never read a book like this before, not from this genre or this storyline. Once I got into the characters I was unable to put the book down. As hard as it was to read some of the violence and abuse, I needed to know where it was going. The main character is very inspirational as she perseveres through the unthinkable.
I saw one review say they didn’t like the book because it was more telling than showing. I don’t think that was bad writing on the author’s part. I think it was purposeful. I agree to tell a good story you have to show, however, I think this book was designed for more than entertainment. Since the author didn’t leave much for the audience to infer about the characters, they are instead left to take a look at themselves and what they have and can overcome if they view things differently and search for strength within.
Toward the end of the book when there was more explaining of the spiritual awakening the character experienced I was a bit slowed down, not because I was bored, but because it was a lot to digest since I was unfamiliar with the topic.
This is an amazing and powerful read that does definitely make you think about your own self in very deep and profound ways.
After receiving an advanced copy of “Heart of a Warrior Angel From Darkness to Light” by Lali A. Love. I was so captivated by the storyline that I ended up reading the whole book in one reading. This heart wrenching book includes some aspect of the inner, incorporeal, supernatural, spiritual, archetypal or transcendent aspects of human experience which emphasizes the main character Lilac’s movement towards self-actualisation. Readers will gain insight into Lilac’s spiritual journey. I love how the Author puts little seeds of wisdom of famous quotes at the beginning of her chapters which sets the tone. The quote from Rumi that Lali quotes at the back of her book, sums up the storyline perfectly.
“What hurts you, blesses you. Darkness is your candle.” ~ Rumi
Bravo Lali A. Love, can’t wait to read the next book in this trilogy!
Impressive read in the genre of Fantasy, Familial and Angels. The book drew me in from the artistic book cover to the very last page. There are many additional inclusions in this twelve chapter book that was a wise decision on the part of the Author, Lali A. Love. Combinations are of Art and poems all with significant meaning of the fiction plot.
An Angel is born with divine powers and the zest to know how the world, her world operates, none such world created before and the transformations of life and death, light and darkness are the most important key elements.
Dynamic viewpoint of someone’s doom and how elements of life and perspective allows for a rise in purpose and circumstance. Readers are involved in the story and can travel as the characters do. The book is written as a narrative versus dialogue. Truly relatable to anyone’s life. Healed my emotions over no boyfriend, no love. Maybe because I dove into the fastasy world and saw a past the was terrible, shameful and the protagonist used meditative energy to help others. Her story manifests from Angel to a human. Lilac’s movement of fulfillment of one’s talents and potentialities
Empathetic and poetic writing both fiction and poetry. Elated to find such a deep feeling book enjoyed in a couple of hours. I appreciate when an Author develops my thoughts beyond the words on the page. I’ve become curious with the realms of spirituality and metaphysicality. Written to entertain me, the words jump off the page without pausing until completed.
Oh my goodness! This book came out swinging with beautiful quotes that really spoke to me. “Lilac strongly believed in good and evil, the existence of a higher power, a divine energy source that surrounded all beings-a form of radiant light emanating from the goodness of human souls.” This is basically what I believe so it was awesome to see it written this way. This story pulled me in from the very beginning and I truly could not stop reading. Lilac was born in the country of Georgia to a loving mother and a terrifyingly sick and abusive father. The descriptions of the abuse he inflicts on his wife and her daughters was almost too much to read. It was described with such detail and so realistically that I couldn’t help but wonder about any truth behind these stories. It was absolutely chilling at times. I immediately fell in love with Lilac, who was born with a gift for intuition and a deep sense of protectiveness over her mother and sisters. It was amazing the lengths she went to in order to save them from abuse. As the author states, “Lilac’s fierce love for her family was resolute.” She proves this time and again and it had me in awe. Meanwhile, she’s also building a successful business. I was truly in awe of this character. So inspiring.
This story is at times beyond heart-wrenching and difficult to read but then there is so much beauty that courses throughout. The writing was honest, raw, genuine and beautiful. I would love to devour another story by Lali A. Love. Her background is so intriguing and the work she does is so interesting. I would love to read anything else she writes. This story truly made me want to continue working on healing my own pain and becoming the strongest warrior I can be. Thank you Lali A. Love!!
First of all, this book was really eye-opening for me as it covered a range of spiritualism I never knew was out there (well, you’ll have to excuse me I only know about Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism). This book is based on the views of metaphysics and that religion of Madonna’s called Kabbalah. It is the story of a woman by the name of Lilac Noble and her parents’ Mira (mother) and Dragan (father). These two human beings differ from each so much it is quite horrific to think about when considering Mira’s part of the story and how she got involved with Dragan. Mira’s own father had been a negative character himself who had ties to the Russian mafia and such and that is how Dragan entered the picture. Throughout the book, Dragan’s reign of terror over Mira and her daughters (all were conceived by Mira and Dragan) will put you on the edge of your seat as you try to fathom in your mind how Mira could have ended up with such a vicious, animalistic being like Dragan. And that is how Lilac came to the conclusion to seek absolution from her father whose own family lineage was that of diabolical means.
The book is an easy read although it took me a couple of days to complete it because I have this routine of finishing 25% of an ebook (I read this on my kindle) per day. I enjoyed the book so much because of the new ideas and methods of kabbalah that it introduced me to. I felt that it was a mystical religion and that it leaves one feeling like you are in a realm of magical means. I heard about kabbalah through the singer Madonna but never knew how different and unique it was and that it has existed for years but that it just got into the mainstream and all. The element I liked about this book is that it is a story of how one family came from Georgia (a European country that was part of the USSR union) to live and prosper in North America (particularly Canada and then the United States). If you have a knack for such stories, then this book is definitely for you. It has a bit of that Danielle Steel feel to it but with the metaphysical and spiritual knowledge of the author herself.
I recommend this interesting read to those who love familial stories and those who are looking for and learning something different before this summer of 2019 ends soon. I recommend it to the adventurous at heart who will be going out to the beach in this month as this book can be read in one sitting. If not the beach then maybe a road trip? Or maybe select it for a book club occasion with your friends or fellow reading partners? I also learned from this book that you can be an author and you can entertain readers even without a serious novel format. I don’t know, but this book impressed me with its composition and such.
Heart of Warrior is a literary debut novel of Lali A. Love. The cover drew me in right away and after reading the blurb I knew I had to give this a whirl. The action is fast-paced, there’s a great plot even though much of the content can be difficult to read it is a tribute to those who have suffered and manage to struggle onward. As a debut Lali has written a great novel and from the beginning the story captured my heart. Heart of Warrior is not typical fantasy story about supernatural events and heroes, fight good with evil. It’s more than that. It’s about finding our own power and strength, the courage to discover we are stronger than we thought. Lilac is not perfect heroine but because of this she seems more real, more like one of us. Fantastic, metaphysical thriller.
This woman is a true warrior, the main character has been chosen from her bloodline to rescue her family from a generational curse and the clutches of evil that had engulfed them for so many years. She is a warrior in every sense of the word, and the saying what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger is so powerfully portrayed in this book. This story proves one important point, darkness cannot and will not remain when light has entered a person. Lilac walks with a powerful force, a fire if you like, that burns up every obstacle that attempts to stop her from reaching her destiny. She refuses to give up no matter what and her tenacity pays off in the end. This is a powerful story, it will inspire you to keep fighting for what you believe. Highly recommended!
What makes you “you”? How can you change and overcome?
“Heart of a Warrior Angel” by Lali A. Love is a well-written journey of discovery and transformation. It is emotional, spiritual, metaphysical, and philosophical. It’s also just good fiction, with a very poetic writing style. And even if you don’t follow the author’s spirituality or understanding of the world, you can certainly benefit from the thought-provoking questions the characters in her book present and the artistry with which she tells her story.
It’s also a very different kind of novel because it relies solely on narrative instead of dialog. It’s as if the author is telling you a story rather than letting you watch the story unfold. In most cases, that approach doesn’t work well, but in this book, for this theme, it’s a fitting change from other novels you might read.
If you enjoy character-driven stories and ruminating on the deep things of life as you read, “Heart of a Warrior Angel” will delight you.
If I only had a few words to describe ‘Heart of a Warrior Angel’ by Lali. A Love, I would use inspirational, hopeful, and emotional. Love has such an empathetic style of writing, that you will very quickly become invested and engaged with her troubled yet beautiful protagonist, Lilac Noble. She went through so much in the early stages in her life and they have been haunting her for so long, until she finds the courage to make a change.
This novel shows how powerful love and hope can be, how you can find the will and power to survive and make the world better for yourself and the ones you love. There are also some really interesting information on transmutation and metaphysics that isn’t too heavy, but if you do need a little help with some of the scientific themes there is a glossary in the back to help you out…I used it a few times.
An otherworldly novel that has an interesting narrative and a great cast of characters. Certainly worth a read if you are looking for something a little different.
The main character in this story, Lilac, is an inspiration. From early childhood, Lilac has an incredibly difficult upbringing, both in and out of her family home. At a time faced by an oppression of women, her family are forced to endure a man who is dangerous, violent and degrades them. However, it is this abuse that transitions Lilac on a journey toward the light, and she finds a path enabling her to rise above her horrific past to better herself, and make a new life for her family. I absolutely loved the themes of female empowerment, of love, and of finding inner-peace that resonate throughout. I thought Lali A Love did a wonderful job of raising me up as I was reading with her well-placed and poignant quotes, and promoting a healthy dose of self-belief through her gentle spiritual guidance, and ideas on how to heal. I would recommend this book to anyone trying to overcome a difficult time, or looking for some positive advice through self-help and spiritual healing.
Heart of a Warrior Angel: From Darkness to Light by Lali A. Love
Starts with reviews from others. Acknowledgments and table of contents then the story.
Story a traumatized family where girls are brutalized by their father. Horrific details of how the torture is done and why.
Like how females are able to drudge forward every day.
Do like that a few of them actually have a few good childhood memories.
Like Mafia and financial funds in the book, quite the combination.
Energy, spiritual emotions and other realms all have a part in this book. A bit above my level of understanding but a good story.
Love the glossary at the end, so resourceful and helps you really understand it all.
Others works are also cited at the end. Not really my favorite genre, felt a bit in outer space or another dimension at times.
I received this review copy from the author via the publisher and this is my honest opinion.

I could not put this book down. Lilac Noble’s story of harrowing childhood abuse caused by generations of deep social conditioning and fear is gripping and real. The reader is transported into the protagonist’s mind as she re-lives her past to uncover her family’s dark truth. But this is not a tale of despair. In an age where so many are struggling with trauma, weak mental health and a lack of connection to their inner spirit, Lilac’s story is a reminder of the resilience of family and the human heart. She finds the courage to use the intuition she had suppressed for so long and to seek her own truth—her Soul purpose.
This book is for anyone who has struggled to find meaning in their darkest moments. As I read each chapter with anticipation, the words of Leonard Cohen played softly in the background until Lilac’s journey of the discovery reached its crescendo: “There is a crack in everything; that’s how the light gets in.” Indeed, Lali A. Love teaches a fundamental lesson: that the purest form of love is the one that comes from within.
