10/5 stars. Maybe more. I'm not entirely sure yet. I only wish I could give it that many stars.

TM Smith has created a world and book that is spiritual, sacred, loving, romantic, and very hot.

Lucifer and Michael are archangels, the first and strongest choir of angels. They are bonded to each other with a deeply emotional and spiritual bond. The only problem is that Lucifer also has problems with the darkness within and it's starting to break that bond apart.

Gabriel has loved Michael for many years. Michael is starting to feel the draw to Gabriel as well, but he's conflicted because of Lucifer and the bond that they have. But as Lucifer continues to deal with his darkness, Michael becomes more and more separate from him and closer to Gabriel.

Seriously, the worldbuilding that happens in this book is just wonderful. Smith has taken a framework that people are pretty familiar with, that of deity and angelic followers, and put what I think is a pretty unique spin on it. I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens next. ( )
