“You know when you read a book and it’s just so good that you immediately look for anything else by that author to immediately add to your to-be-read list? That was me after reading Forbidden. I was pleasantly surprised to find out this is the first book in Lori Adams’ debut trilogy. With such good writing and characters, I would have expected this story to be from an established author-so again, very pleasantly surprised and glad I requested it from NetGalley.

The characters are well written with excellent depth so that they feel like they could be real people around you. Sophia is a strong young female lead, Michael is the perfect hot good guy, and Dante is a great, sexy, really bad boy that you do feel sad for even though he really is the bad boy. Sophia’s friends and classmates are your usual classic high school roundup of characters (I looked forward to hearing what Duffy’s next outfit would be, and he and Bailey playing off each other were pretty funny).

The world the author has created is fantastic. I thought it was quite original and enjoyed the cast of paranormal characters that were introduced with the Guardian Angels, Demon Knights, Grigori and the others. I have read a few other angel stories before, but none drew me in like this one did.

While this book is labeled as New Adult, it really reads as more mature Young Adult so I wonder if the New Adult label is an indication of where the series will be heading. If that is the case, it will be great to see the characters grow into that category, especially since you can feel the strength and intensity of the attraction between them. This first installment though can be safely read by those mature young adults 14 and up, though no matter what age you are I think you’ll love this book.

Me? I’m impatiently awaiting the next in the series as I can’t wait to see where it goes…a solid 5 star read!
