Michelle Miles’ writing style transforms the book into the written version of your favorite fantasy/adventure movie, with reminiscences of Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider, the Librarian, but undoubtedly fresh and with a modern twist and the inclusion of angels and demons into the mix.

My Review:
This book start with a normal girl, Anna Walker, working a normal job at a hospital who had a tough life before now. She gives into her curiosity and uses her “gift” and is then thrust into a world of heaven, hell, and everything in between. This version of Heaven and Hell is very biblical based with some references to Dante’s inferno. I really liked is learning more about the origin and backstory of the protagonist as the story goes along. It was well written, had great world building and had good pacing, was a quick read!

Torn between good and evil, Anna is NOT having a good day. When an old friend arrives at the hospital she works at she “dream walks” and finds herself in her friends last memory. She also runs into Azriel, a fallen angel who later tries to recruit her to find some Holy Relics that will usher in the apocalypse. She turns him down flat and then is approached by a messenger angel demanding she find the same five Relics so the archangels can keep them safe.
She’s trapped between the good guys and the bad guys and discovers neither side plays fair. This is a fast paced fantasy with a fierce heroine that starts out knowing nothing about her destiny. She’ll have to find her way. Excellent start to a new series. Action packed with a page turning story. Anna won’t let them stop her once she takes on the task.
One bad decision starts an adventure of a lifetime. Assigned to finding God’s holy relics. This book is a non-stop action packed and fast moving book. The storyline is excellent. Anna is being hunted by an emissary of the Devil. Azriel is a demon wanting Anna to find the Horn of Gabriel he threatened her, he murdered and he beat her but she still refused to hunt for the Horn of Gabriel for him. She does not want to hunt for them and refuses to. Heaven sends angels to ask her. They fight for her , heal her and protect her. Whom does she hunt for? Heaven or hell. The choices she makes will either save us or destroy us. I can’t wait to see what happens next. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I ask for more.
