It has been a year since Nephilim's memory was wiped. One year since her life should have ended, but was instead spared by the High-Archangel, Metatron. Since she no longer remembers she has become the perfect killing machine once more. But, when someone begins to kill the angels could the answer to who is behind it be wrapped in her past? What will happen to her if she begins to remember?
I received this book as an ARC (Advanced Reader's Copy) from the author in exchange for an honest review. I will start by saying I have adored Anna since the first book of hers that I got over a year ago. I have high expectations from her books and they always bring me joy to read and this one is no exception. I started the book as soon as it was sent to me and had to force myself to put it down. After-all, it took me a year to get this one and who knows when I will get the next one. None the less, I did finish it rather quickly and I am already pining for the next one. I have so many questions.
Nephilim is, as always, an amazing cyborg. I can say that this book did not take the turns that I was expecting. I will not give anything away, but I expected the characters from the previous book to have more of a role. Don't get me wrong; Jake, Finwick, Adriel, Nephilim, and Metatron are still in this book along with some new characters. I just expected them to interact with each other more like they did in the first book. I am excited to see how everything goes together in the next book as there are so many avenues this could take.
With my review of book one I stated that Adriel was my favorite character. I still love Adriel, but I didn't get as much of him in this book. He felt more like a background character than a lovable partner in crime. I hope that in the next book what he did for Neph in book one is brought back into light. I feel that would bring back more of their comradery, even if he is technically below her in the power structure of this book instead of being an equal partner in book one. I will say that I love that Anna made a point for Neph and Adriel to still go to the bar and spend time together outside of work, even though things have changed.
I truly hope that you will give this wonderful steampunk cyborg book a chance, but please please please check out book one while you are at it! It will make everything make that much more sense.
