Description

In the old world shadows of Providence, Rhode Island, Nina Grey finds herself the center of a war between Hell and Earth.

Struggling with her father’s recent death, Nina meets Jared Ryel by chance…or so she believes. Although his stunning good looks and mysterious talents are a welcome distraction, it soon becomes clear that Jared knows more about Nina than even her friends at Brown University. When questions outnumber answers, Jared risks everything to keep the woman he was born to save—by sharing the secret he was sworn to protect.

When her father’s former associates begin following her in the dark, Nina learns that her father is not the man she thought he was, but a thief who stole from demons. Searching for the truth behind her father’s death, Nina stumbles upon something she never expected—something Hell wants—and only she holds the key.

  • College Student? Or overgrown toddler with anger issues?

    I read the reviews for this book and thought I’d try it out. Seemed interesting enough. I downloaded the sample and started reading and realized how annoying the heroine of this story is. She’s supposed to be a college student, and yet she acts like a two year-old. All she does is throw tantrums whenever something doesn’t work out the way she wanted. What college student stomps their foot and throws stuff around the room crying when they can’t find something? And who falls in love with someone they barely even know, has only known they exist for a week or two, and appears to be stalking them? I couldn’t even finish the sample. I’m a college student and I couldn’t relate to the main character at all, let alone the book.

    Written by Jamie McGuire. This was an excellent love story. The main characters were Nina and Jared. The story just flowed with Nina as a student at Brown University. The story involves her friends at the university and Jared's family. It is full of twists and turns , sad and intriguing plots. It was a 861 page books I read in two days. Ounce you start, you will not want to put it down.
  • I'd pay more for this book! LUVED!

    Can't wait to read the second book!
  • Found it more of a romance rather than an Angel/Demon story.

    I'm not understanding the appeal of this story. It certainly is taking a long time to get answers. This story was suppose to be about Angels and Demons and I found very little storyline about them. It was more about Nina and her inability to make decisions. Jack's business partner is after the Port of Providence file. Jared is Nina's protector. This was suppose to be the premise of the story, but instead the story took us on a long journey building Nina and Jared's relationship instead of figuring out where the file is and what is in it. Once it was discovered it quickly was brushed under the rug and forgotten until the Demon came looking for it. It's silly how quickly Ryan and Jared share a love interest in Nina. The story is not all that interesting. The love interests feel forced. Nothing flows naturally. There is no connection but huge gaps of disconnection between characters and the storyline. Nina is annoying and behaves like a spoiled child. She is too needy and insecure. Two guys fighting for time with Nina. There is no depth or growth happening in the story. Too much filler and not enough progression. The small clues that are given are not enough to hold my interest. The story lines gets more and more unrealistic. I figured out what is the most annoying thing about Nina, it's her worrying about what others think. I am not a fan of people or characters with this flaw. Also, her indecisiveness. What is the point of having this annoying character in the story? I read to escape reality and all this story has done is get me annoyed. Too many sub stories taking place. There are many elements in this story and they are not blending well for me.
  • Great read!

    I absolutely LOVED this book, I go absolutely NOTHING accomplished for 2 days and I am sure I will do it all over again when I reread it over and over! I can't wait to get the remaining books in the trilogy. There is heartache, suspense, a beautiful love story. I cried and I laughed, I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a great story.
