In her YA paranormal romance debut, Jessica Shirvington combines "the badass-action of Vampire Academy, the complex love triangles of Twilight, and the angel mythology of Fallen, taken one step further." - Book Couture The wrong choice could cost not only her life, but her eternity. In a world of dark and light, he is all shades of gray. PHOENIX: No one knows where his loyalties lie, yet he's the only one there to pick up the pieces and protect her after Lincoln's lies. Only he never told her he's Grigori-part human, part angel-and that he was training her for an ancient battle between Angels and Exiles. LINCOLN: He's been Violet's one anchor, her running partner and kickboxing trainer. If angels seek vengeance and humans are the warriors, you could do a lot worse than betting on Violet Eden. It's a battle Violet doesn't want, but she lives her life by two rules: don't run and don't quit. She will have to decide just how much she's willing to sacrifice.Ī centuries old war between fallen angels and the protectors of humanity chooses a new fighter. On her 17th birthday, everything will change for Violet Eden. Review: League of Strays - L.B.It starts with a whisper: "It's time for you to know who you are.".There are plenty more books in this series still to follow, the next being 'Embrace' which I'm hoping will be published in the UK next year. Full of suspense there were several surprises and revelations along the way. The story was also extremely engrossing and clever and 'Entice' was a great read.
There's a lot to do with religion and the history of the Grigori so I had to read these parts carefully to ensure that I understood everything properly. The plot itself was at times quite complex. There were a lot of lingering looks and sparks flying between them throughout the book but I really just wanted to see them together as a couple. We know that Violet and Lincoln should be together even though there are some pretty big obstacles in their path, so I was slightly frustrated that it seemed to take them quite so long to face up to this. There's not as much romance in the story as I would have liked to have seen. She's also trying to deal with the after effects of her romance with Phoenix which is still causing repercussions for herself and her friends.
Violet is now fully aware of her Grigori heritage which has turned her whole life upside down and changed her relationship with soulmate Lincoln. 'Entice' has quite a different mood and tone to the previous book. With hindsight, I wish that I had read 'Embrace' again prior to starting this one because I think it would have helped to refresh my memory about some of the plot strands. This is the second book in Jessica Shirvington's series about fallen angels.
