Romance | Fantasy

Life on earth can get a bit boring. Especially when you have been exiled to the planet since what modern people call the ancient times. An ordinary mission to stop a woman from committing suicide opens the door for the biggest adventure that the exiled angel Xandir has had in centuries. He realizes that not everything is as it seems, even when you are an angel. THE LAST ARCHANGEL is a fast paced adventure with a wonderful back story filled with historical events and theological references. The reader is brought into many worlds with unique and imaginative cultures all their own. We get to peek into the lives of cherubs in heaven as well as those who are being punished for their sins on the outskirts of hell. The multiple character point of views give the reader a chance to decipher the story's clues from different perspectives. You automatically feel for the main female character, Eden, as you watch her dream life fall apart at the seams. The character that was a pleasant surprise to connect with was Xandir, the destroyer angel. He not only has the mission of punishing those who deserve justice but he also gives mercy to those who are innocent. He is able to determine which is necessary in the situation put upon him with the help of the swords he always carries with him. The choices he must make throughout the story highlight the fact that everything is not black and white in situations. As the wielder of such powerful tools, he must also make decisions that affect the lives of those he is meant to protect. If you are looking for a story that magnifies the fact that life is filled with choices that will affect others in ways that can be considered good and bad, THE LAST ARCHANGEL is the book for you. It will make you think before you praise or fault those around you for the decisions they have made in their lives.
