Description:
When Angels Fall

Trinity Marrow has lost the battle and her beloved Protector. Even with both demons and Wardens on her side, Trin may not win the war against the Harbinger.

Bringing Lucifer back to the world to fight the Harbinger is probably a really, really bad idea, but they’re out of options—and the world’s ultimate fallen angel is the only being powerful enough to impact the outcome.

As Trin and Zayne form a new and more dangerous bond and Lucifer unleashes Hell on earth, the apocalypse looms and the world teeters on the end of forever. Win or lose, one thing is certain—nothing will ever be the same.

Review:

Grace and Glory by Jennifer L. Armentrout is the 3^rd book in her terrific The Harbinger series. Refresher: Trinity Marrow is a trueborn (half human/half angel); she has spent all of her life protected and trained by Wardens. In the last book, Zayne, our hero, steps up to be her Warden protector and a true strong bond and love between them develops. War is on the horizon, as the Harbinger (Gabriel) is on target to destroy humanity, the world and Trinity.

At the end of the previous book, Trin lost her love, Zayne, and is desperate to find a way to bring him back. He is now a fallen angel, and doesn’t even know her anymore, or any of his friends; making him a danger to them all. Though she has her friends (wardens and demons, and peanut), Trin is determined to use every avenue to find a way to get Zayne back, since her chances of defeating the Harbinger is slim.  Trin manages to find powerful entities/witches to help her restore Zayne, using the Sword of Michael and a spell to use along with the sword. Will this work and bring back Zayne to her or will she end up killing him?

I love Trinity, as she was a fantastic heroine, strong, savvy, and fun; despite her eyesight issues, she manages to rise above it and successfully fight her enemies.  Zayne before his fall, worked hard training Trin on how to sense those attacking her out of her sight. Trinity and Zayne were great together, with their bantering, as well as their sizzling chemistry. 

What follows is a wild exciting intense action-packed adventure, with a number of surprising twists. It was a wild action-packed last half of the book, as Trin, Zayne and friends’ team up with their demon friends (Roth, Layla, Cayman) to try and stop Gabriel.  The best part is the surprise added element to the team, when they bring help in the form of LUCIFER.  I got a kick out of Lucifer, as he was a blast; crazy dangerous, as well as funny. As I said previously, Armentrout gives us so many wonderful secondary characters, besides Roth, Layla, Cayman, especially Peanut, Dez, Nicholai, Jada, and Michael, etc. To say too much more, would be spoilers, as there are many surprises, and I do not want to ruin it for anyone.

Grace and Glory is a fantastic and satisfying finale to this series, which was fast paced and exciting, as I just could not put the book down. From start to finish, Armentrout kept me glued to my kindle, with the tense, exciting, action filled, passionate, romantic adventure, with a sensational couple. Grace and Glory was so very well written by Jennifer L. Armentrout, as well as being a fantastic ending to Trinity and Zayne’s story.  Thank you, Jennifer for giving us this fantastic series.
