I love books about fallen angels, there are so many different angles you can take with it, and this book was a perfect example of that. There are fallen angels, and angels or stars and half breeds but also there are book bearers that hold the books of Lucifer and are unaware of the power they each entail.

This book was beautifully written, very eloquent and descriptive. You are completely transformed into the village of Agalmath as well as the other various places you visit in this book. The story of Isaac and Demetre grabs you right away in the beginning and keeps you wanting more and more as the story progresses. There were plenty of surprises throughout this book, and unexpected twist and turns.

There were a few times when I actually felt that Issac and Demetre were doomed and they have failed, it is such an intense battle between good and evil, and evil seems to be victorious most of the time. I love that it wasn't like all one sided, usually with the good side winning. It's a true battle and shows that in battles good doesn't always win, nor have the advantage all the time.

I loved how the last half of this book turned out. I am very excited to read more from J.D. Netto, and more from this series. Please go pick it up!!

About the Author-

J.D.Netto (Jorge de Oliveira Netto) is brazilian-born. Raised in Framingham, MA, J.D.Netto always had an eye for epic fantasy and story-telling. At an early age, he had the habit of locking himself in his room, turning on any soundtrack he could find, and there he would write for hours.

During his senior year in High School, J.D.Netto had an idea that changed his life, 'What if Lucifer had a Diary? What if the Diary was a secret? What if the secret was a reality?' These simple questions led him to write for six consecutive years, researching, perfecting his craft, and creating the world of Elysium. All the promotional visuals of the novel, including the cover, were designed by J.D.Netto, proving that he is not only a writer, but an innovative visual designer.
