This book… I have been waiting to get my hands on this book and when I miraculously got a copy, it seriously made my weekend. The writing is lovely and I may just have to re-read the other books to get more of Adam and Warner cause seriously….I am torn cause I think I love them both.
We pick back up with Juliette and Adam now at Omega Point with Castle, Kenji and the other people that have gifts. Juliette seemed to be cutting herself off from everyone but Adam and I appreciated Castle and then Kenji calling her out on it. I jumped into this after reading Destroy Me where I was able to read the excerpts from Juliette’s journal. Because of that, I think I was less annoyed by the pity party than I normally would have been. There was a genuine fear that it would all disappear or be taken away.
I kept thinking I just wanted people to talk to each other. There are so many secrets and the first one to be revealed is related to Adam. Adam doesn’t tell Juliette what his ability is and what is going on in the research area and when she finds out, she loses it and almost destroys the entire facility. Oh - and Adam’s ability is that he is able to disable things…including people’s abilities. This is why he can touch Juliette but as he lowers his guard with her, it is harder for him to protect himself from her touch. Juliette eventually breaks up with Adam because she doesn’t want to hurt him. Despite this, they still have to work together and it is still clear they love each other so it is a pretty tough situation for both of them.
Fast forward to Juliette, Adam and Kenji going on a mission to save some Point people the Supreme Commander has taken hostage. Juliette confronts Anderson on her own and ultimately reveals her power and strength to him. Eventually, Adam and Kenji join Juliette in the house and a HUGE secret is revealed but not to everyone.
Warner….what to say. Again, I just finished Destroy Me and wow was that a window into who he is and how he came to be who he is. I loved that he was a bit OCD. Warner is definitely not an angel…he has never cared about anything but I truly believe he loves Juliette. As he is taken into Omega Point and Juliette is responsible for his interrogation, so much more is revealed about him.
I think Kenji was one of my favorite characters...he was honest and called Juliette out on her crap. He also was one of those characters that everyone seems to get along with. He annoyed Adam only because Adam was more frustrated with the situation.
So much happens in this book – I won’t give any more away but I will say I am excited to see where Mafi takes this story and the characters. Not just because of the decisions that Juliette needs to make but the fact that she can and will have a huge impact on what happens with The Reestablishment. There are still a lot of secrets that have yet to be revealed and I am excited to see how it all plays out.

This one didn't wow me. The story had a lot of potential but it just seemed to fall short for me.
My problems with this begin with the main character, Taylor...She annoyed me. I don't know what the end goal was but I just found she rubbed me the wrong way. Nevermind that she was in love after only knowing Gabriel for 2 days.
I am still confused as to why Taylor was "The One". There was no explanation of how she was identified by the demons and angels, what made her aura so special and why there was no one else like her.
Although at times I felt like the dialogue was iffy, the story had some promise. I was intrigued by the spin the story had on the creation of angels and demons
I'm kicking around whether I will read the rest of the series. I am interested in finding out what happens with Gabriel but I'm not sure I am invested enough in the characters to put this series at the top of my list.

as well as the twist of angels being evil and against the human race instead of the demons.I'm kicking around whether I will read the rest of the series.

Book 2 picks up with Skye healing and Asher taking care of her after Devin stabbed her. I found Skye to be somewhat annoying in this book. I don't remember if she was the same in book 1 but she was soooo wishy washy about everything. She loves Asher but she also isn't sure about how she feels about Devin...even though he tried to kill her...WHAT?!?
Perhaps I should have re-read book 1 to refresh my memory...the Rebellion is still fighting The Order and now they are fighting for Skye as well.
No spoilers here. I am curious to see where the next book goes as although it wasn't a full on cliffhanger, there was definitely a huge development with no true closure.
