This was such an interesting read. From the moment I read the first sentence I was hooked and ultimately I devoured the book.

Nesayiel, who is part of an angelic army, is trying to protect the human world by getting rid of the Unholy who kill and eat human souls. To her dismay the Unholy that she is ordered to kill turns out to be some one from her past. Aydan was her former boyfriend back when they were still human and he was the love of her life.

The first person narration was split between Nesayiel and Aydan, which made this story surprisingly intimate. I was completely absorbed by their emotions as they unfolded events that lead to a huge battle of good vs. evil. Through out the story I could clearly visualize the surroundings and the impending doom and destruction that was lurking.

Nesayiel was a strong female character. She was determined to accomplish her task regardless of how impossible it was. Although she was strong she still had conflicting emotions on what should be done and how to accomplish her goal. Aydan was suppose to be completely dark but always had a conscience. His inner struggle to be good, not evil was enthralling.

One of the things I like most about this book was that the characters didn’t just meet and fall instantly in love like so many YA books do. They already had a previous relationship and were being brought back together under unusual circumstances.

While this book is part of a series it really could be a stand alone. Actually after I read this book I discovered that there is a prequel (Dies Irae), which at this point I will need to go back and read, but I didn’t feel as though I missed anything having skipped it. The chapters are very short, perfect for night time reading, however they flew by so fast that it was hard to stop and put the book down.

The biblical references, ideologies and strong characters made this book a fantastic read and I will be picking up “Libera Me” part two very quickly.

I haven't read an angel book in a loooong time, so this was really fun! Okay, actually I'm not sure "fun" is exactly the word. Let's say...intense. This book was dark, suspenseful, and not at all what I expected. Gritty, dramatic...you get the idea. -)

Ostensibly, the characters are in high school, but that element takes a backseat to their angelic counterparts, which I appreciated. The story, at its heart, is about this enduring love between Aydan and Nesy....and man, is it epic. I thought Christine did a great job raising the stakes for these characters...to say their love is star-crossed is an understatement. After all - an angel and a demon?

The characterization of both Aydan and Nesy was great...I really got a sense for both their personalities and their internal conflicts. Each one struggles to reconcile their feelings with who they are and the limitations that come along with that.

This story is filled with twists and turns. I really didn't expect it to end the way it did...and I'll just say this...I was VERY concerned for our characters. I emotionally invested in their struggle and liked the way their journey wasn't sugar-coated. There were very real, insurmountable odds against Aydan and Nesy...and they're not just easily defeated in the name of true love. These characters fight with all they have...and their story isn't guaranteed a happy ending.

I'm looking forward to reading more from Christine...and visiting again this intense, thrill-ride of a world she's created in Libera Me!
What would you do if you were a warrior angel and your sole mission in life was to destroy evil and then the unthinkable happens, you hesitate due to your emotions. Nesy is a 500 year old angel posing as a human teenager to lure in the unholy one, a fallen angel who feeds off the souls of humans. She is not supposed to have these emotions but her human host does and Nesy is feeling conflicted about killing Ayden her chosen target. This has never happened before and Nesy is this strong, independent angel who wanted to be a Sentinel and protect humanity. She is feeling pressured from the Council to act and her mentor Mikayel expects, no demands her obedience in regard to this matter and does not understand her reluctance to complete the mission. Confused by her emotions, Nesy soon discovers that there is a very good reason for her feeling this way, Ayden is her one true love (Adam) who deserted her when she was mortal and she now knows the truth of his existence. How do you kill the only person you ever loved even if it is what you were trained to do? Ayden on the other hand is broken and tormented from losing the one woman in the world who meant everything to him and the guilt of losing her has led to his life of torment and punishment. Choosing revenge and retribution has led him on his path toward the "Dark One". Just to make Nesy's life that much harder, she also finds Lori after taking up high school to get close to Ayden to try and kill him. Lori is her much younger sister from a past life who is now a seer and in grave danger from Ayden and also the "Dark One" Azzaziel who also fell from grace and gave evil a whole new meaning. He wants to take over Celestium, make Mikayel pay for abandoning him and rule the world, don't they all. More than just a book on fallen angels, good versus evil and being action packed, ultimately this is a story of love, betrayal, sacrifice and redemption. In the end, regardless of who we are or where we come from, the two things that unite us all are love and hope. Many times throughout this book I was keeping my fingers and toes crossed for Ayden and Nesy hoping love would conquer all and that somehow they would win out even though it seemed impossible and unrealistic to wish for a happy ending. They were so flawed and human almost yet still drawn together as their love for each other filled the cracks and mended their broken hearts and souls. So refreshing to not read about another love triangle and also the support characters like Zane and Cassie were well fleshed out and likeable though Zane was a little bit demanding and argumentative at times but they come through in the end for Nesy and Ayden. A love story that transcended time and in the face of death and betrayal, they still chose each other. We can all identify with the hard choices they have to make and sympathise with their feelings of losing each other again. An inspirational book that left me reflecting on the those I love in my life and how truly grateful I am that I get the chance to tell them how much I love them every day. Who would want to live in a world without love or hope, not me that is for sure.
