Torrent (Angels & Demons Book 1)

Emotionally engaging, action packed thrill ride with an off the charts sexy love triangle. Could not stop reading from beginning to end had to know what happened next, could not sleep without knowing.Cassia Delamore is the new kid in town and just looking to graduate high school and start a new life so she can find a way to leave her tragic past behind her. She does not expect to fall for a guy, especially not more than one guy, and she differently did not expect them to take notice of her back. Cairo and Thames are as opposite as night and day and pull her into a world of mystery and magic she did not expect and is so not ready for. Looking forward to more of this awesome world.

Cassie.....just another foster kid in the system, now living in Heaven with a new foster parent. Cairo and Thames are both interested in the new girl, but one runs hot and the other cold. Cassie gets close to Thames,who becomes her best friend.She finds out that both guys are supernatural, and is okay with that. She's had a tough life and her last foster parent, Eric, did a lot more than parent her. When Thames finds out....all hell breaks out.Can Cairo and Cassie save Thames?? What about the demon who is after Cassie?? And the Nephelim Council?? There is more to Cassie than anyone knows.It's a good story. Read on my friends.

I picked up this book on recommendation from a friend when I asked for a short romantic spec-fic book - and this didn't disappoint!This book took me back to my Wattpad reading days, where stories were so angsty, so corny (in the best way), and just all-around so fun to read. You can tell the author truly just loves these characters and this story and had a lot of fun writing it.I'm a sucker for dumb love triangles, so I was immediately drawn into the premise. The main character is a foster child who moves to a new town only to gain the attention of both an angel and a demon. It has a lot of Twilight vibes, if you're into reliving that experience.The one thing I truly didn't like was a plot point towards the end, so I don't want to say too much for the sake of spoilers. A character I liked made a questionable decision and it was weirdly glossed over? I thought things could have been handled better, but it's not the worst thing either.Is this a work of great literary merit? No. There was a lot of melodrama. But is it super fun? YUP. I needed this as a palate cleanser after a semester of reading stuffy high-brow books.Verdict: recommend if you want to relive Twilight with a less problematic romance but an even angstier love triangle. #teamThames

Cassia, Thames and Cairo were in a untenable relationship from the beginning. All she wanted was to start over somewhere fresh and heal the deep wounds of her past all while finishing her last year of high school. She never expected to find a best friend and soul mate at seventeen. I loved the complicated relationship between Cairo and Thames. I can't wait for Torment.'I received an ARC of this book and voluntarily reviewed it.'

While I enjoyed the likability of the characters the story was a painfully predictable. The build up to the main climax was drawn out and the ending was meh at best. Not a terrible read but the story line had the potential to have been so much better.
