Embrace (The Violet Eden Chapters #1) by Jessica Shirvington

"It starts with a whisper: “It’s time for you to know who you are…”

Violet Eden dreads her seventeenth birthday. After all, it’s hard to get too excited about the day that marks the anniversary of your mother’s death. As if that wasn’t enough, disturbing dreams haunt her sleep and leave her with very real injuries. There’s a dark tattoo weaving its way up her arms that wasn’t there before. 

Violet is determined to get some answers, but nothing could have prepared her for the truth. The guy she thought she could fall in love with has been keeping his identity a secret: he’s only half-human—oh, and same goes for her.
A centuries-old battle between fallen angels and the protectors of humanity has chosen its new warrior. It’s a fight Violet doesn’t want, but she lives her life by two rules: don’t run and don’t quit. When angels seek vengeance and humans are the warriors, you could do a lot worse than betting on Violet Eden…"- Embrace, Jessica Shirvington

This book had me at the cover. LOVED. Than i read the synopsis. HOOKED.  At this time i haven't bought the book yet, i was still browsing for books...

OMG OMG OMG! This book blew me away and all other angel books out of my mind, This book pulls you in from the beginning, makes you addicted and wanting more. It was kind of like a drug but in a good way. I tried to go to bed but all I could think about was this book. It has such an interesting plot and storyline with intriguing  characters. The writing of this debut book is in first person, past tense in a straight-forward style and is engaging as it propels the story forward.

The characters in this book are real and kickass. Violet is just plain AMAZING, she is someone to look up to. She makes you feel like your in the book going along with her on all her journeys, fights, and most intimate moments. The only thing that kills me is how blind she is to Lincolns feelings and how fast and easily she turns from him when he is always there for her and always trying to protect her.(SIGH)

 Than there was a guy named PHOENIX

OH, Phoenix (BAD BOY) god, just writing this part about him has me all tingly! What a freaking character he is by far THE best character I have read. He has so many different parts to him and you never know what is real, what hes going to do and how is he really feeling, I feel sometimes he truly does love Violet but he does so much manipulation then in the end the BIG revelation pushes him away from her kind of like Lincoln. Phoenix relationship with Violet reminds me a lot of Damon and Elena.. You will want them to be together (I really do <3) but at the same time you know its going to be short lived, because true colours are going to come out (SIGH)

Now Lincoln again another amazing character (IN LOVE WITH HIM). He makes my heart beat wildly. He is by the books, no nonsense head over heels in LOVE with Violet and she is blind in a way. He makes that one mistake which I wouldn't call it a mistake and she turns and doesn't go back, sometimes he feels her resolve but she pushes Phoenix in his face which doesn't really help and all he wants is her and all he has eyes for is her. God i felt for him in this book like no other character. (POOR GUY)

This book has it all for us the fallen angels, the good the bad, the light and the dark the good and the evil, nail biting, edge of your seat suspense which almost killed me, the love triangle  the fights, the makeups and breakups , friendship and betrayals all wrapped into one pretty little book. 

Part 2 coming up next.....
