What if your whole world turned upside down in one day?
Violet, the main character, never truly believed in God,
much less angels. When she discovers that she may be a
Grigori aka part-angel, part-human, Violet does not know
what to do about it. Lincoln claims Violet is his eternal
partner, but there are limitations and rules that go along
with being his partner that Violet never anticipated. In
Violet's confusion, she allows Phoenix, a Fallen Angel, to
get close to her. The two develop a close friendship that
could be that "something more" Violet has always hoped
for. However, Phoenix has quite a few skeletons in his
closet. Can Violet trust Phoenix? If given the choice,
will Violet choose Lincoln or Phoenix?
EMBRACE is a great new paranormal romance by author Jessica
Shirvington. Violet's character connects easily with the
reader. She can be impulsive, but the reader
will like her quick smiles and kind personality. The
secondary characters, particularly the love interests, will
hold the reader's attention throughout the novel. Phoenix
is the "bad boy" of the novel whereas Lincoln is
the "golden boy." Lincoln is more of a rule-follower where
Phoenix chooses for himself regardless of the rules. The
two have very different, clashing personalities and Violet
faces a tough decision.
The events in EMBRACE are very fast-paced. Violet and
the reader both must absorb a large amount of information,
but the author handles it well. The quiet romantic scenes
are realistic and work to further confuse Violet on who she
should choose. The ending leaves this reader happy and
excited to know another novel will be added to
the series! Hopefully in short order!
