Review: Emblaze – Jessica Shirvington

Once again Violet Eden faces an impossible choice … and the consequences are unimaginable.

Violet has come to terms with the fact that being part angel, part human, means her life will never be as it was.

Now Violet has something Phoenix – the exiled angel who betrayed her – will do anything for, and she has no intention of letting it fall into his hands. The only problem is that he has something she needs too.

Not afraid to raise the stakes, Phoenix seemingly holds all the power, always one step ahead. And when he puts the final pieces of the prophecy together, it doesn’t take him long to realise exactly who he needs in order to open the gates of Hell.

With the help of surprising new allies, ancient prophecies are deciphered, a destination set and, after a shattering confrontation with her father, Violet leaves for the islands of Greece without knowing if she will have a home to return to…

Reviewer’s Thoughts:

When I got to the last page of this book, the first thought that popped into my head was “Can Violet and Lincoln catch a freaking break?”  The answer, as irritating and annoying as it is, seems to be not right now!

Phoenix is determined to bring Mommie Dearest, aka Lillith, back so he can finally find a place where he feels that he belongs.  Despite how he feels about Violet, he’s willing to use her as a pawn to get what he wants.  He doesn’t plan on her Angel Maker getting involved to help put a stop to what he’s doing.

I thought my heart broke for Violet in Embrace, but I was wrong.
