The angel of harmony is about to become a warrior of destruction. It’s been sixty-seven years since a spell gone wrong devastated the planet. All that is left of humanity exists in the demon-ruled, sinking ruins of what was once New York and New Jersey― home to fallen angel Charmeine. Now, by the grace of God, she has been given the chance to save the world and her angelic standing. All she needs … her angelic standing. All she needs do is work with a deplorable witch and condemn her fallen brother, the demon lord, to eternal imprisonment.
Charmaine would do anything to earn back her wings. But when she does, who will be there to save her humanity?

A fallen angel who wants to save the world. An ancient lover returning to help. A twisted brother who wants to destroy everything. These are a few of the obstacles Charmeine faces. This story is not about redemption so much as it is about perseverance and overcoming obstacles. A timely piece with a timeless message.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Wow what an engrossing story this was.
Rollercoaster doesn’t come close to describing the highs and lows of this epic story.
I won’t try to catalogue this tale except to say it encompasses love, passion and “ true grit”.
A love story to outshine all others.
It is most definitely a must read. I was totally absorbed by this and the ending was a pleasant surprise.
Great stuff Debra.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
I have never read a book in record time, once I started, I couldn’t stop. This was the most intense story with so many unforeseen twists and turns until the end. It is even the very first time ever that a book gave me chills down my spine.
I was immediately pulled into an apocalyptic world setting , were demons’ rule over the humans. Charmeine is a fallen Angel, who fell from grace, just like her brother Xaphan. Her brother embraced his demon nature but Charmeine , the angel of Harmony, she still wants to cling onto her Angel status.
When an opportunity comes to redeem herself by killing her brother Xaphan, her world falls to shambles and nothing is going according to plan. Everyone has a turn on Charmeine, but she gets a fortunate or unfortunate ally with witches? And who is Malcolm, why does he look familiar?
The story is fast paced and full of action, violence, sparks of desire, friendship, betrayal, and destiny. The world building is amazing, and you feel the apocalyptic mood setting throughout Charmeine’s journey. If I could give these 6 stars I would. What more amazing is , that apocalyptic world settings are not really my thing, but I stepped into this revelation open minded. And it didn’t disappoint at all.
Living the curse…
Charmeine “Charm” was the Angel of Harmony until her fall from grace. Now she has an apartment in what is left of New York after the spell that unleashed demons onto the earth and cursed the world and everything in it. Life is hard for humanity and would be worse for her too if she did not still have a few remaining angel powers. Her brother Xaphan is also one of the fallen, but where Charm has a soft spot in her heart for humanity, Xaphan is a demon lord in the post-apocalyptic world and thrives on suffering. As long as Xaphan lives the curse cannot be broken.
Debra Kristi has pulled out all the stops. This book is action-packed and grabbed by attention from the first page! I received an advance copy but my review is honest and voluntary. This is the first book I have read in this series but now I am hooked and it definitely won’t be the last.
“Blood Promise” by Debra Kristi is the intended first instalment in the “Cursed Angel Blood Promise” series, which is set in her “Watchtower” verse. Sixty-seven previously the planet was devastated by a faulty spell that almost eradicated humanity, now demons rule the world, and the last vestiges of humanity left in the region that was formally known as New York and New Jersey, the place the fallen angel Charmeine (MC) calls home for the time being, until she earns back her wings. Now the chance has come by bringing the demon lord Xaphan to justice and imprisoning him forever, even if it means to work with his less than desirable witch sister. There is nothing Charmeine will stop at to earn her wings back, to finally have a chance at redemption. Or there is? Because redemption for Charmaine could easily mean eternal condemnation for humanity.
A fast-paced, captivating and easy-to-follow urban/dystopian fantasy, where the timeless battle between good and evil, is being rehearsed in an unusual way by the dichotomy angels/demons, showing that in the never-ending struggle for power, hope and redemption is just a range of grey shades, in which everyone can forge their own path
A Fantastic read that grabbed me right from the start. This is an epic read that has epic scenes, its got action and twists and turns. The Author has brought an amazing read to fruition. I definitely recommend.

Love, hope, and mercy are noble, but will they be enough when facing the evil from hell?
Charm is a fallen angel living in the cursed world of humans, ruled by her fallen demonic brother Xaphan with fear and terror. The curse brings out the worst in people – violence, distrust, malice, envy, greed.. When Charm accepts the quest to end the curse, her presence loses its calming presence, and immediately she is being the most hunted one thanks to a price on her head. Only belief in her Heavenly Father and trust for witch coven can help her save the day, but would it be enough?
Dark atmosphere with rays of hope and love, this story of fallen angels and bound human souls, of witchcraft and God, paints an interesting yet cutting image of human weaknesses and the evil hidden in the nature of humankind. Showing off different strengths and different perspectives, it makes one think what would we do should we live in such environment, affected by the curse. Who would be strong enough to resist? Where would it lead? And how strong is the basis in us already – without a solid ground, such curse won’t be effective? I struggled sometimes to find my way to Charm, though in the end, she had to be an angelic creature, not a human, and her thinking and attitude had to be taken as such. Yet sometimes I thought if she couldn’t use her gifts and abilities differently.. On the other side, I strongly believed in Casper, and even more in Malcolm. The latter was the beacon of light for me more than Charm, and together they were perfect and unbeatable. I somehow lacked more of a reaction upon revealing the secrets and truths about the blood promise, Malcolm’s reaction was more like nonextistent to me, but under the circumstances I may accept this 🙂 With lots of drama, tension, and action, this was a very good read.
Book was very good.Because I love mythology,specially angels and demons this was perfect book for me.I couldn’t stop reading,it took one evening to read whole book.This is story of fallen angel Charmeine who got task from his brother who is angel.Her task is to destroy her another brother Demon Lord named Xaphan.Book tells struggle good and bad,debate inside Charmeine.She got help from witches even she doesn’t have good history with them.One of the witches named Malcom turns out to be love of her past life named Jordan who has now reborned.Cherry on the top is all treason and betrayal but ending was happily ever after.
Wow!
I really enjoyed this story, I really wanted to give it 5 stars but I couldn’t wrap my head around the repetitive word repeating and some of the shower parts.
I love the strong characters, interesting world building and the storyline was a little rocky, but still outstanding, balanced and wicked! I really hope Miss Debra plans on another book!?!?
This is the first book in the Watchtower Series that I have read & I absolutely loved it. This dystopian novel moves along quickly & keeps you intrigued until the end. Hope, Love, & redemption is intertwined throughout the narrative. The world building descriptiona are well detailed, along with well seasoned character’s, & a captivating plot with many twists. I highly recommend reading this dystopian novel as it is just fantastic. I volunteerly reviewed an advanced reading copy of this novel.
