NOT EVERY TREASURE IS MEANT TO BE DISCOVEREDAbove a small hill lay a home.And green men peer out under the dome.Thirteen crisscrossing arches behold, with angels singing must be told. Cubes like teeth thus showed, pierce one and the door shall glow. Part the sea like Moses, to see the bundle of red roses. Only then you shall see, what is destined to be free.Eli, Lucia’s half-demon love interest, … be free.
Eli, Lucia’s half-demon love interest, has been stabbed with a true-cross dagger and captured by Cyrus, master of the possessor demons. The Chosen Knights must work together once again not only to save Eli, but also to decipher a clue to find the second missing page of Jacques de Molay’s journal. Meanwhile, Uncle Davin informs Crossroads’ Divine Elders of the danger ahead and learns there is much to fear. Countless children are being taken from all over the world to be turned into demons. Michael, one of the Divine Elders, has no choice but to intervene. The Chosen Knights track down Mortem, the demon who is the key to finding Cyrus, and learn they must travel deep into the pit of a Hawaiian volcano. When they astral travel to the past in search of a clue and follow Jacques de Molay to Rosselyn Chapel in medieval Scotland, what they find will rewrite history.

I love this series so much! It seriously gets better and better with each installment. This book will take you on an emotional ride, so buckle up!
The plot thickens in the next book of The Angel Knights series. So many new things are brought to light, and just as many things are questioned. The Blessed Knights picks up where The Chosen Knights left off. We get to jump right back into the story. There is no lull, which I love! The plot is strong. I can’t even imagine all the plotting and time went into this story. I love that the premise is wholly original. There are common themes with many other fantasy and paranormal books, but the author does an incredible job of making them seem new. She really makes these themes her own. The pacing of the story is fairly fast paced, so you will never be bored. There is an enormous amount of action in the story, which I adore, and there are emotions running wild across the board. I love that the story is told from multiple perspectives. It gives the story so much more depth.
The characters really stand out to me in this series. I feel like I know each character intimately. I feel what they feel while I am reading. Lucia and Eli’s characters grow a lot, as does their love for one another. I just can’t get enough of their romance. There are some new characters in this book that were not in the previous books. I liked the new dynamic that they brought to the series. I am also very curious about the mystery character at the end. I cannot wait to be enlightened in the next book in the series!
I really loved the blending of historical and paranormal/fantasy. It really makes the story stand out in the mass of young adult fantasy and paranormal books. The very unique premise is outstanding.
Overall, this book is incredible! It will grab hold of your heart and never let go. I can’t recommend this series enough. I don’t know how I am going to wait for the next book in this series! I want it now!

I am so glad that I decided to reread this book and the previous two books in the series prior to finishing the last book. I am afraid that I would have been totally lost if I hadn’t. I had forgotten just how many details went into the story, and many more are revealed in this book. I have to say, Mary Ting can definitely create a compelling plot. I was just as immersed in the story this time around. The characters grow on you more and more as the story progresses. I love the chemistry between all of the characters. The Knights all have a camaraderie that melts my heart. I love that they are comprised of angels, lamias, elementas, and humans. There is a mix of everything and it keeps things interesting. I am eager to see how their bonds will affect them in the next book. I enjoyed the bits of history in the book. I enjoy the creativity of the Knights Templar and how they are a part of the story. I enjoyed the romance in the story. It is a forbidden romance so there is a lot of tension and emotion. If you haven’t read this series I would certainly recommend it. It has a creative premise and likable characters will have you glued to the pages!
