ARC Review: Surrender The Dark by L.A. Banks

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Celeste Jackson has fought all her life against a fog of hallucination and substance abuse, but it’s not until she meets her protector, Azrael, an angel who has left the safety of the Light, that she learns of the evil forces that have been trying to ruin her, and why. A fierce battle for control of the mortal realm is brewing, and only Celeste—with the help of theRemnant, her half-human, half-angel brethren—can stand in the way. Together, Celeste and Azrael must gather an army of sensitives to defeat the dark powers that have ruled humanity for centuries, but time is running out. If Azrael surrenders to his growing desire for Celeste, he risks being trapped among humanity forever. But the longer he stays, the harder she is to resist. To save the world, Celeste must draw on her own dark experiences with addiction to help Azrael overcome the one temptation that could possibly make him an eternal prisoner—his obsession with her.

Surrender the Dark

*SPOILER FREE

I am a huge fan of L.A. Banks’ Crimson Moon series and I was really sad when i found out that the series was canceled. However, I was super excited about Banks’ newest Urban Fantasy venture, starting with Surrender The Dark and was extremely happy when I had a chance of getting the ARC for this new novel.I am happy to say that I was NOT disappointed.

I am usually not a fan of the Angels as supernatural beings, but L.A. Banks has created such an amazing world and characters that I couldn’t help but get lost in this incredible and compelling world of her creation.

Celeste has had a hell of a life, literally! All her life Celeste has been hounded and hurt by demons disguising of people around her and telling her that what she has been seeing her whole life is all part of he being schizophrenic, causing Celeste’s life go down on in a unstoppable spiral decent. Little does she know that is more between Heaven and Hell than she could ever know and that Heaven is looking out for her.

In the battle between Angels and Demons, for the Free-Will area that is Earth, time is running out and both sides are going against the clock to gather their last weapons for the final showdown. Celeste is one of those weapons and when Azriel, the Angel of Death, is sent to find and protect her, the scale finally has a chance to tilt to the side of good.

Surrender The Dark is an amazing novel about Faith, Hope and the ultimate battle between Good and Evil. This story has been told a thousand times, but L.A. Banks makes this her own and creates such a amazing characters and stories that you will fall in love all over again. An amazing addition to the Urban Fantasy Genre, Surrender The Dark is the beginning of an awesome new series that I recommend to any and all UF lovers out there. I can’t wait for more!
