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?

MY REVIEW OF Between Heaven and Hell
When Adonis
proposes the creation of a human, the Council of Archangels convene to discuss
the proposal. Even though Lucifer gives valid concerns, the rest of the council
seem nonplussed. Adryel isn’t an angel, but only a power, and a professor at
the Angelic College alongside Lucifer. Ramael, Adryel’s pair, is Archangel
Michael’s second in command. Being caught in the middle, Adryel is torn, as she
shares Lucifer’s concerns, and his influence and deceit eventually lead her
down a path of no return.
This was a very
entertaining, imaginative version of the fall of Lucifer and the creation of
mankind. I thought it was very creative that Adryel’s actions and thoughts
mirrored that of mankind. As usual, Mr. Burnett weaves a tale of love and
deceit that will keep you turning the pages.

I loved this too, really great read x
ReplyDeleteIt was a bit different from our usual reads, but equally good.
DeleteIf I was an angel I'd have to say my name would Florence. Because that's my moms name (she is deceased) and she was a true angel! My parents adopted me and my mom had nothing bad to say about anyone, no matter what!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful remembrance. I can see she left an imprint on you. Hugs to you!
