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...

I can’t express how much I adore this series.  I loved reading every, single chapter that lead on to an awesome ending!

Plot: The plot goes deeper into Violet’s past and future. She is faced with some hard decisions and major sacrifices.  Facing a vast amount of danger, Violet will make some major life changes that will affect every thing around her. I can’t express how riveting each chapter was. It was harsh and soft, loving and mean, just so many emotions flowing through the reader…its amazing.

Love: AGHHH! This love has got to be the most emotional yet. They want each other sooooo bad but have yet to cross that line. There are a few stolen moments where they exchange words and OMG! Total heart-stopper. It made me swoon and just want to yell,” KISS HER YOU FOOL!” (There were a few kisses but none in those precious moments.) Sigh* I’m hoping in the next book there will be some movement between these two. Cause frankly it’s about time they face the music.

Changes: Once all the drama comes to a conclusion, Violet makes some decisions. These decisions affect everyone around her and the future. Some people from her past come back and I can’t decide whether this outcome is good or bad.  I guess I’ll have to read the next book to see exactly where this is all going to fit. Not to mention the evil that was released during this whole battle scene.

Overall, Emblaze is another great addition to this series. It’s highly addicting with lots of action. An enticing story with a very catchy ending, Emblaze is great.

I give it 4 BITES!

    YEAH! I love this series too Savy! Violet and Lincoln definitely kill me though, I want them to be together and happy so bad, but after everything that’s happened, I can definitely understand why they’re trying to keep apart. Still, they cause me delicious stress:) Can’t wait for Endless!

  3. I have only read the first book! I so need to get on the second and third. You are killing me with what I’m missing! 🙂

    I haven’t read this series yet, I’m glad you’ve enjoyed it so much!

  6. Yet another series I need to read! Don’t you just love relationships/budding relationships where you want to shake one of the people to finally take that next step? So frustrating! But those are some of the best stories, though. The action and catchy ending has me very curious!

    Like Giselle, I read the first book and then sort of stopped. I’ll have to try to catch up on these!

    I have the first two books of this series, but since I am not a huge fan of angel books, I haven’t really pushed them up on my TBR list. It does sound like a good series though.
