This series follows a girl named Violet Eden and the events that occur when she goes from a normal, art-loving teenager to Grigori fighting warrier when she discovers on her 17th birthday that she is part human, part angel. With her Grigori partner being her long-time best friend who she has always loved- Lincoln- she has to decide whether she wants this life in which she will be in constant danger, and more importantly, constricted to the rules of being nothing but partners with Lincoln. As she struggles to accept what she has become and the kick-ass skills that come along with it, she meets the gorgeous exiled angel Pheonix and gets involved in a world that she never could have imagined where she is more powerful than anyone could have expected.

This series is awesome. Jessica Shirvington hasn't skipped over anything like most books do. Life, sex, love, hate, loss, everything. It is put straight out there in all it's imperfections and tied into Violet's thoughts and actions. I also like this series because all the books flow into one another, with the series not having a new adventure each book. Plus, I felt like at the end of the series, all the ends were tied and although being both a sad and happy ending, it felt real. Shirvington is an amazing writer and has done a great job with the love in throughout the books. While a large component of the novels involves 'love', I feel that Violet, while sometimes getting caught up in it, just keeps going on with life and the important stuff with all the shit that's happening- which is refreshing. Just keep in mind that this series is a 5 book series, which is quite long. So if you don't have the patience to read more than a trilogy I would go read another, shorter series (I recommend the Juliette Chronicles- check out my must reads for the review). However, if you have a taste for action romance and a desire for a well written series that will absorb you into a new world, this is the book for you.
