What a simply Outstanding book Ava has written!!! Grace was amazing!!! This series is so friggin well written and Grace is just another example of how talented a writer ava is. This book is more of lucifer’s and grace’s story. After Lucifer’s fight with the fallen and having ripped off abaddon’s wing Lucifer knows it’s only a matter of time before war breaks out again so he makes the decision to walk away from grace,but with doing that he’s walking away from the only happiness he’s known in a very long time. His memories of his fall and his time spent in hell simmer to The top and all the old feelings of abandonment,betrayal from those he loved,just because he questioned father. I cried so hard for him and what was done to him. Sympathy for the devil has a whole new meaning for me now. Even with grace praying for him to come back, he stays away. Until Grace goes looking for him,but evil finds her and takes her life and her soul is sent to hell to take the place of Lucifer on his throne. Grace will see Lucifer’s dark world and all those who inhabit it and get a taste of what his life was for so many years.THE only way she can find her way back home to Lucifer is to become a monster and fight to survive and when a unlikely alliance with enemy is her only ticket out she will show all those in hell why she’s a fit queen for the king of hell. If you haven’t read this series your missing out on one hell of read!!! In ava martell’s world of Fire From Heaven’s series theirs two sides to every story and that just maybe the devil isn’t pure evil,and that angels aren’t always the good guys! Until next time luv’s
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
Lucifer first moments in hell:
Lucifer’s eyes fall shut, and the sound of his ragged breathing echoes through the cavern as he tries to focus his mind on something other than the pain. “Father?” It’s barely more than a whisper, but I hear it. “Why? I just wanted. . .” His voice trails off, and he says nothing more. My vision swims as I claw out of the memory. My shadowy hallway comes back into blurry focus, and I wrap my arms around myself as I try to stop shaking. It takes me a moment to realize that I’m crying.
I have read every book in this series so far and this one is definitely the best yet!
In the first book, we learned about Grace and her connection to Heaven. The chemistry between her and Lucifer was out of this world. I was expecting that this book bearing the title “Grace,” would be all about Grace. It wasn’t really. It focused on the connection between Grace and Lucifer, but most importantly, it truly told Lucifer’s story. Who he truly was. Quite honestly, my mind was blown away by this book! I found myself asking, “Why have I never thought of this?”
I keep going back to Lucifer’s memory where he asks:
“Father? Why? I just wanted…”
Ava Martell not only made me like the Devil, but she made him so real and almost relatable that I couldn’t help but empathize and subsequently fall head over heels for him! Definitely one of the best books I’ve read this year!
I received an Advanced Reader Copy of this book. This review is my honest opinion.
Well the series continues with a tragic happening and the consequences is devastating Lucifer and Graces story continues in such an unexpected way great book
To Hell and Back
This story had everything, it had the epic romance between Lucifer and Grace. It had angst with Lucifer being afraid that Grace wouldn’t be able to love the true him that he had been in the past and was going to have to be again in the fight against the fallen that escaped from Hell. I was cursing Ava Martell for making me love this series so much and making me cry like a baby so soon after starting this book. It really “has all the feels” as I have heard people say.
The story centers around Grace and Lucifer again, but this time it is after they are already in love and Grace has already gone through the spell where she has seen everything Lucifer has done and been through. She still loves Lucifer and has told him that, but after the spell she saw his life of thousands of years in a very short time then she sort of locked it up in her mind and hasn’t gone back to it.
So Grace saw some of the things he did in Hell as the Devil and when he was on Earth committing sins of lust and gluttony but she didn’t really stop to take it in. Lucifer is afraid that once she does, or if she sees how hard he has to be to take down the fallen, she won’t love him.
Lucifer walks away to think and doesn’t return for a while and that is when the story really takes off. I am not going to give away any spoilers but to say it is awesome. I knew Grace was a fighter but she is surprisingly resilient and awesome in her own right.
The adventure in this story was better than in the first three, and I can’t wait for the next one. It should be epic. Also, I was right about where Gabriel was hiding, if you read my review of Phenex.
