Heaven refers to them as Misplaced Halos. Humans don’t even know they exist. This faction of celestial warriors was sent here under the cover of darkness to protect humanity from Lucifer’s demons. In return for their servitude, these warriors expect only one thing: the love they were promised, what angels refer to as an amsouelot. Never one to rely on luck or favor, Eclipse isn’t surprised when … isn’t surprised when his first interaction with the female whose soul is destined for his results in death. However, he is caught off-guard when the pretty blonde who was held at gunpoint by a two-bit human turns out to be sassy and fearless and not at all bothered by the mess that was made in that alley.
Orianna McKay has spent the past six years scouring the US in search of her sister. She has put her entire life on hold, hoping to locate Amber and bring her home to their mother. What she doesn’t understand is how one failed lead after another continues to take her right back to Nowhere, Colorado. Then he appears.

Eclipse’s mission is to protect Orianna from the demons who are out to lay claim to her soul. Somewhere along the way, that mission changes, priorities are shifted, and destinies are revealed. By the time the dust settles, Orianna and Eclipse will learn that salvation comes in many forms.

Salvation in Darkness
Misplaced Halos, Book 2
By: Nicole Edwards
Narrated by: Rich Miller
Nicole Edwards pens another awesome novel in her “Misplaced Halos” series. I am loving this series, the storylines and characters she created are fascinating they grabbed my attention and held it captive straight to the end. The time frame for this book picks up just after the 1st book, Obsidian and Penelope are mated and she is pregnant with their child. The other warrior Angels are still searching for their Amsouelots (their soulmate and eternal love) and Eclipse finds his and she turns out to be Orianna a girl searching for her missing sister. Orianna is a badass, not afraid of much she usually can get herself out of bad situations. But she is in way over her head when it comes to the supernatural, which as a human is unknown to her. That is until she meet Eclipse, he comes to her rescue and then so much more. The heavens above definitely got it right with these two and I loved how everything plays in their story. Also loved all the rest of the ongoings in the “Misplaced Halos” world, the Angels are dealing with more demonic incidents, including a threat to their home. Kaj, a Vampire who the Angles have worked with in the past brings his daughter Bijou to stay at Darkness for her safety, she and Olivier hit is off. So much more goes on, plenty of drama, action, thrilling and suspenseful moments and some great hot romance. Nicole Edwards, thank you for another great story, I am looking forward to what comes next in the Misplaced Halos world.
I listened to the Audible edition, Rich Miller is a talented narrator and voice performer, He continues to bring the characters and their stories to life. He is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen
Thank you @AudiobookObsession #AudiobookObsession #AudiobookObsessionReviewer
Read Protected in Darkness, loved it. Salvation in Darkness is just as good. I can’t wait for Kaj and Acadia in book 3.
Angels, Vampires and Demons, Oh My!
Salvation in Darkness is book 2 in Nicole Edwards Misplaced Halos series and I highly recommend that you read book 1 in the series before digging into this one.
I do not normally read Paranormal romance but this book, like the first one in the series, had me hanging on every word from the first page to the last. It is the perfect combination of fantastic writing, interesting characters and a storyline that is highly engaging and I thoroughly enjoyed all of the dynamics in play throughout this book. It was like watching a fast moving board game where the players are in constant motion trying to figure out the best strategy to defeat their opponent.
Although this book focuses mainly on the growing relationship between Eclipse and Orianna there are many other characters in play throughout the story. There are angels, vampires and humans that are working together. Some are friends, some are lovers, some are warriors and a few are leaders but alliances are formed to defeat the common enemy. So, grab your copy and hold on because you are in for one hell of a ride!
I am so glad that Edwards decided to try her hand at paranormal romance. It is phenomenal! I have always been infatuated with angels, so when Edwards started this series I was ecstatic!
Seven heavenly warriors, Misplaced Halos, to protect the human race. All the brother angels have amsouelots (soul mates) that they need to find before Lucifer and his demons get to them first.
Salvation in Darkness is Eclipse and Arianna’s book. Though the book is based mainly on the couple, there are a lot of subplots going on in the background. In my opinion, I believe these subplots will become future books. I could be wrong, but it looks so good to not be true. I truly look forward to reading more of this series.
Archangel Michael makes his presence known in this book and we have a few new characters to meet. I know I am being kind of vague, but trust me, if you are a fan of Edwards and even a little bit of a fan of the paranormal then you will LOVE this series.
The epilogue alone will make you want to scream and demand the next book now. Sadly, we have to wait.
I am loving Nicole Edwards’ Misplaced Halos series, and book two, Salvation in Darkness, continues to showcase the warriors who were put on earth to protect mankind as well as find their amsouelots/soul mates who they were destined to be with regardless of the risks or sacrifices that may have to be made in order to complete the mission they were tasked with as well as hold tightly to their other half since they’re what these angels were promised for their ‘servitude.’
Eclipse is an intriguing hero and his name is fitting, not only for what he’s been tasked with but also because the darkness is the time where Lucifer’s demons roam and are most active, so knowing that he’s there, in the darkness, to protect his soul mate, Orianna, works in her favor, because while she may be a sassy and fearless warrior in her own right, it’s important for her to know who she has at her back and trust that he will always be there because it’s not only their destiny but what he desperately wants and needs after searching for her.
It’s clear from the start just how connected Eclipse and Orianna are. Their individual strengths complement each other and allow them to stand united, and their sexual chemistry resonates from the pages, not just when they’re intimate, but when they’re simply together in any and all ways.
What I can’t get enough of in this series is the variety of other worldly characters readers are introduced to the further into the series Nicole Edwards takes us. While the main focus is on the faction of celestial warriors, the fact that there are now Fae and vampires in the mix adds to the story lines that can be told and the variety of obstacles that these angels and their soul mates will face.
Some readers may find the terminology a bit overwhelming, but the glossary at the beginning of the story is a great tool to ensure that it’s clear what side all of the supernaturals involved in the story line are on and exactly what certain words and phrases mean.
I’ve always loved Nicole Edwards’ storytelling and the way that she crafts such intriguing and multifaceted characters, so it was a no-brainer for me to dive into her new paranormal series, and like her other collections of stories, I hope this one continues on for quite some time.
4.5 Poison Apples
The Misplaced Halos are back! Obsidian and his six brothers are sent to Earth to protect the humans from evil demons that Lucifer has sent to take their souls. Angels.
In this book Eclipse finds his Amsouelot, his soulmate that he is destined to be with for all eternity.
Orianna has been looking for her sister for six long years, and while searching for her, Eclipse saves her life and brings her back to the mansion all the angels, fairies, vampires, and humans are living in to protect her.
Nicole writes such amazing love stories and you will fall in love with her characters.
A lot is going on in this book. Love stories, abduction, a baby, lots of sex and even Michael the Archangel.
Highly recommend this book!
4.5 Stars for Salvation in Darkness book 2 in the Misplaced Halos Series.
Eclipse is an Angel put on earth to protect humans and he is better know as a Misplaced Halo who are here to protect the human race from Lucifer’s demons but they are only allowed to become involved with humans if their chosen partner is their soulmate……
Orianna McKay is a strong, sassy woman who knows what she wants and she has spent the last few years searching for her sister Amber what she isn’t looking for is a soulmate but when Eclipse takes a bullet meant for her she realises there could be something very special between them…….
Characters with sizzling chemistry and plenty of scorching hot scenes add to the dynamics of this paranormal romance, this is a genre I don’t read very much so I have to say I was grateful for the terminology /names listed at the start of this book. As you would expect from this very talented author this is a well written love story that will captivate you from the first few pages, it’s a love story about finding your soulmate and I believe it will appeal to all romance lovers as well as paranormal romance lovers. Looking forward to more in this series
I can hardly find the words to express this book. I thought the first book in the Misplaced Halos series was great, and this one just topped it. The author has outdone herself in this amazing series that is original, faced paced, never a dull moment, and characters you fall in love with. Not to mention a HEA that almost completes the story of Eclipse and Orianna, but leaves you wanting so much more. And there is so much more to want. This book is about Eclipse, an angel living on earth, fighting for the protection of the human race and all that is good. Enter Orianna, a human on the search for her missing sister, and now she is with Eclipse trying to understand this strange new outlook of life, with angels,fae, and yes even good vampires. It is good against evil, and I’m talking truly evil… think the devil. Excellent book, a new series that will keep you up reading and always wanting more. So excited for the continuation of this series. Nicole Edwards has truly come up with a wonderful, Original story. I volunteered to read this book, and my opinions are my own, and so is this review.
If you read and loved the First book, Protected in Darkness, you are absolutely going to love this second book in the series.
Salvation in Darkness had me so enthralled, I was having a hard time to stop reading. Notice my play on words? We now have vampires in the story along with our angels and demons.
But I’m getting ahead of myself. The story’s main couple is Eclipse and Orianna. I really enjoyed their story, there was so much she had to work through in her human life. Their connection was breathtaking.
But there is so much more to the story. A Fae being kidnapped, a baby being born, a demon’s demise, a sister finally found, a vampire realizing his mate, Michael the Archangel, action, adventure, laughter, tears, romance and of course let’s not forget all of the scorching hot sex scenes. And the epilogue, Oh Emm Gee!!!
I am absolutely in love with this new series. I can’t wait to read the next book whoever it will be about. I’m always sitting at the edge of my seat when the drama unfolds.
When Nicole asked for volunteers to read and review, I gladly accepted.
I voluntarily read and I am leaving an honest review, all my own opinion.
But please give this series a try.
Ugh! The only thing bad about this book is it had to end!!
Yes I am in love with these angels & the fae & these vampires are working their way in too.
I can’t remember the last time I was as excited for a series as I am for Misplaced Halos. Two books in & I am so invested in these characters.
I love that while you have your main characters; in this case, Orianna & Eclipse, NE gives plenty of attention to the supporting characters & their stories. And just enough of a sneak peek of upcoming storylines to bait you in good!
Of course I’ve throughly enjoy the interweaving of “family” members throughout the first 2 books & anxiously await the continuation of the series.
This is one of those books that I would get upset every time I had to put it down. Unfortunately, I have been super busy so had to put it down far too often. Then all I would think of, as I was doing what needed my attention in the real world, was getting back to my book!
I felt as though there were a lot more storylines going on in this one than in the first book. Of course, the main story is still about Orianna and Eclipse. But we get so many other subplots that have me so excited for the coming stories in this series.
Eclipse is amazing. But, then again, so is Orianna. Both just do what needs being done. Which is saying a lot when it comes to Orianna. That lady has gumption. No familial support, no friends to lean on, no money to back her up, yet she keeps on slogging away looking for her sister. Eclipse, on the other hand, has a house full of family and friends, all of whom would do anything for him.
There is no doubt that Orianna and Eclipse are meant for each other. They fit together perfectly. They understand each other almost the moment they connect. There is some “getting to know you” that needs to be done, but on a deeper level there’s no need. There’s just an understanding.
While I loved the story of Eclipse and Orianna, I actually liked some of the other love stories just as much if not more. Kaj and Acadia, Bijou and Oliver (Oh, the things I’m looking forward to with those two!!!), Asmia’s storyline. So much yummy goodness!
This band of angels, fae, heurosp, vampires, and humans is such a marvelous intermingling of personalities. All that come together to make up the most remarkable support system for them all.
I realize I have not said much about the story itself, and that’s by design. I hate spoilers and feel as if I say too much I’ll be ruining parts of this story for others. Just know that I loved this book and can’t wait to read more about this family.

Salvation in Darkness is the second book in Nicole Edwards’ Misplaced Halos series. Salvation in Darkness, is a paranormal read with angels, demons and all creatures inbetween. I loved reading about the new characters in the story with the added familiarity of returning characters from the first book, Protected in Darkness. The book was really hard to put down once I started it. This is a must read for the paranormal fan.
I received a copy of this book for the publisher/author to review.
Heaven refers to them as Misplace Halos. Humans don’t even know they exist. This faction of celestial warriors was sent here under the cover of darkness to protect humanity from Lucifer’s demons. In return for their servitude, these warriors expect only one thing: the love they were promised, what angels refer to as an amsouelot.

However, he is caught off-guard when the pretty blond who had been held at gunpoint by a two-bit human turns out to be sassy and fearless and not at all bothered by the mess that was made in that alley.
Orianna McKay has spent the past six years scouring the U.S. in search of her sister. She has put her entire life on hold hoping to locate Amber and bring her home to their mother. What she doesn’t understand is how one failed lead after another continues to take her right back to nowhere, Colorado. Then he appear.

I have always admitted that I am not much of a paranormal reader. However that all has changed with this series. I am loving it so much and this book sucks you in so hard that you do not put it down. I loved every single second that I spent with these two amazing characters in this book. Along with the angels and demons we now have vampires added into the mix and it makes such an amazing story. This book has so much going on that you do not want to miss a thing and you won’t be laying it down. I don’t want to give anything away about this story so I am not going to tell you a thing about what happens. You just need to grab it and enjoy the ride. It is one you do not want to miss.
Dare I say that Salvation in Darkness, book 2 in the Misplaced Halos series, is better than book 1. After finishing Protected in Darkness, we were given the beginnings of this wonderful new world of angels and demons and now with Salvation in Darkness the author has stepped up her game with new characters and creatures, new relationships, and a deeper understanding of this new world. There is still action, and hotter than hot chemistry between Eclipse and Orianna, and more revelations about what the angels are fighting.
Once you start reading this book, the story, the characters, and the relationships just pull you in until you have finished and want the next book, the next brother, the next relationship.
5 Celestial Stars!!!! Holy sexy battle angels!! I am absolutely LOVING this series so far!! I was hooked from the very first chapter of Book 1 and I don’t see any relief in sight! Nor do I want to!! I have loved everything this author writes and the fact that she has now given me an amazing new paranormal series to immerse myself in, I mean I am in Heaven! Literally sometimes. What a world Nicole has created full of sexy alpha angels and vampires and so much more to fall in love with. It’s sexy, intriguing and oh so steamy!!
I love Eclipse and Orianna together in every single way. They are perfectly matched as they should be since they are true soul mates. They wreaked some serious Hot and sexy havoc in that house though. I loved getting more of Obsidian and Penelope and all the other characters as well. That epilogue tells me their is more amazingness to come!!
I love the whole concept of this series it is so freakin’ cool! I didn’t want this book to end! I cannot wait for more!!
The series is about seven celestial warriors, angels, in Darkness, Colorado, who think of themselves as brothers. The first book was about Obsidian and his soulmate Penelope, and we got a quick glimpse of Eclipse and Orianna. This book is about Eclipse and his amsouelot as the angels refer to them, Orianna.
Orianna has been traveling the country looking for her missing sister, Amber. Her search brings her to Darkness where a dangerous encounter has Eclipse rescuing her and from that point on, she can’t stop thinking about him.
In this story we are also introduced to Kaj, a vampire friend of Obsidian’s who helps the warriors from time to time. While Kaj and Eclipse are meeting with some of Kaj’s vampires he must save Orianna again. Once he takes her back to his home, they continue to search for her sister together and Eclipse tells her about her being his soulmate.
We also see the continuation of Obsidian and Penelope’s story, a Fae gets kidnapped, Kaj realizes who is soulmate really is and the Archangel Michael’s story evolves too. This book opens up so many more stories that I cannot wait to see where they go. This was an absolutely amazing story and I am impatiently waiting for the next one.
4.5 Star review of Salvation in Darkness (Misplaced Halos #2) by Nicole Edwards
I was a little surprised at how much I enjoyed this story as I admit that paranormal stories are not one of my go to genres to read.
Eclipse is an angel but is known as a Misplaced Halo. They are not allowed to become involved with humans unless it is their soulmate, known as their amsouelot. They protect humans from Lucifer’s demons.
Eclipse’s soulmate is Orianna McKay; a woman who is a sassy, feisty, brave and determined woman. She has spent the last six years searching for her sister Amber, determined to bring her home.
When Eclipse takes a bullet that was meant for her, Orianna feels the strength of the connection that sizzles between them. As expected with a Nicole Edwards story, there was plenty of heat and the intense chemistry between them was scorching.
There were times that I struggled a little with the terminology/names used but once I got my head around it I I was drawn into the story that Ms.Edwards wove.
There was so much going on in this story, you really need to experience it for yourself.
If you are a fan of paranormal romance then this book will be right up your alley. Salvation in Darkness is a well written love story about true soul mates that just happens to revolve around Angels, Demons and now the Fae and Vampires.
Salvation in Darkness,the second Misplaced Halos Novel is Eclipse and Orianna’s story. She’s looking for a lost sister and he’s an angel on earth to protect humans from demons.
I love the unique spin Nicole has given to the angels and vampires in this series, the way the characters connect and share the love for each other and their mates. I was a little overwhelmed with all of the different side stories going on, and not enough of the main couple,but overall, it’s still a great story with a intriguing plot, plenty of sexiness,mystery and suspense.
