In the beginning I was a bit confused but once I caught on--
What an interesting read about what could have happened in heaven before the earth and all it's inhabitants were created. It is the story of Lucifer and how he fell from grace taking many angels with him---using logic, persuasion and lies. There is an interesting take on the Adam and Eve story as well.
The love story between two of the angels is one for the ages.
David Burnett is definitely one of my favorite authors-there hasn't been a book of his I haven't ultimately enjoyed.
One war….
Opposing sides…
It’s a recipe for heartbreak.
In a war that pits Lucifer against the Army of Heaven, it’s a recipe for disaster.
The lives of Adryel and Ramael, two young angels who are in love, are altered forever when God determines to create humans.
His decision is met with scorn from Lucifer, one of the archangels. The humans, he asserts, will cause evil and chaos throughout creation. God’s proposal, he says, is flawed. As Lucifer debates the plan’s merits with another archangel in Palace Square, their discussion turns into argument.
Argument leads to insults, rocks are thrown… and battle lines are drawn.
Ramael is second in command of the Army of Heaven. His loyalty never waivers.
Adryel casts her lot with Lucifer. Swayed by his arguments, she leaves Ramael and all else she holds dear. She wages war for Lucifer’s cause and, refusing to renounce him, is exiled in hell.
From there, she tempts the humans to join their cause.
Adryel yearns to tell Ramael her love for him has not dimmed. She will risk any punishment, even hell’s lake of fire, in order to speak with him. But how can he return her love when she has done more to thwart God’s plans for humanity than have all of the other angels in hell combined?

This book sounds temptingly interesting. For Adryel to give in to Lucifer so easily what strength is her love and what does she ultimately do to get her way??? I'd like to find that out. I've been building a list although I don't read often. This does sound captivating, those are the books I like so good you can't give them up for much, grandchildren and potty breaks maybe.
I'd like to keep my name, that way as an angel other angels I know can find me :)
Gosh I really enjoyed this different writing from David Burnett, it seems to stay with me after finishing reading it.
This sounds like a really intense book. I just love getting lost in a book. Wish there was more time in the day!
I've never read anything by this author before but with the way you've describe this story, I'd really like to now! It sounds like a page turner that may keep me up until I finish it. :) Thanks for introducing me to a new author.
This sounds unline anything I have read before. If only we could have been there before Adam and Eve to be a witness to those events, it sure would have been something!
Wow, this is a really interesting setting and the characters clearly have a lot at stake. I think this would be a great read.
What a great giveaway!
This seems like an intense read, but something to look into!
If I were an angel I would be called Hope because that name brings inspiration.
This sounds like a great book. I am not too into books but my mom sure is.
This sounds like an interesting book and a great read. Really appreciate the giveaway too. Can always use some extra cash.
I have recently started reading again and I am loving it. I am also looking for new books to add to my list. I think I am going to love reading it.
Why not Angel or maybe Ann , after my mom.
Sounds like an interesting take and an interesting book. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
My angel name would be Nathaniel. Nate for short.
It's keep with the style of angel name and sounds really cool to me.
I like the concept of this book. I've never read anything by this author, but I would definitely check this out.
I'm sure that his degree in psychology helped inspire him to write this book. The plot sounds really intriguing.
I'd be Priscilla! I think it's a pretty name :)
I think my angel name would be the same as my current one. I like it. It would be me, only a bit more majestic.
Maybe Angela? Sounds very angelic. :)
My name would be Katrina because of my love of cats.
