War of Heavenly Fire Series by Devyn Sinclair
Queen of Darkness (War of Heavenly Fire Book 1) by Devyn Sinclair
Description
Three angels. One assassin. She’s fighting for her life, but they’re fighting for her heart.
I was born for two things: To kill, and to be a queen.
Trained as an assassin since birth, I’ve destroyed Hell’s enemies one by one. Now my throne is so close I can taste it.
One more assignment. One more seduction. One trail of broken bodies to lead me to my crown.
Three archangels can’t be that hard to kill, right?
Turns out, I’ve never been more wrong.
And this mistake? It will cost me everything.

My Review
I’ve not read the original version, so I have nothing to compare it with. But I do like the authors other series (based in an Omegaverse)
This is a whychoose book and three book series. I’m aware of the cliffhanger, and I know my triggers…..
Queen of Darkness starts at a fast pace and continues at that pace till the cliffhanger ending….
The main character, Arielle has had such a terrible past and her present isn’t all that great either!!
She’s been attacked physically and mentally and remodelled into a role that her father wanted her to be…
Arielle is a vessel for the infernal flame which is potentially the next ruler of the underworld! But it’s not an easy throne to obtain, task after task is thrown at Arielle, and she completes each and every one.
Arielle doesn’t enjoy her tasks of killing, but the alternative doesn’t bear thinking about!
And now she’s been assigned the job of killing three archangels, she knows she’s good at her job, so she’s confident it won’t be hard….
So technically she’s on the side of evil? She has to kill to survive (does that make her bad?)
Cassian is an archangel, not sure why he’s in hell. And to be honest, he’s not my favourite character, he was hard to get to know. He taught Arielle to fight, he’s trained her hard, but there are feelings between them, both want more, but both understand they can’t have that!
Malakai (Kai) Atlas and Solomon are known as the Trinity. And are on the side of good.
I liked the concept of this book. If angels fall they usually have turned evil, but not in this book. The struggle they face makes you want to read more of them and I couldn’t put the book down until I finished it.
Arielle really struggles with choosing the deaths of Solomon/Atlas/Kai or having the thing she most wants. You want her to choose the three archangels, but you’ve also watched her become more, so I wanted her to have both 😝
But how do you choose between something that you have worked towards your entire life and the freedom that you’ve always wanted, or to finally be seen as the person you are and be loved.
What will be the consequences for choosing one over the other?
Highly recommend this book. And now I’m off to find the next book.
Oh…. And the cliffhanger…. That I did not see coming!!! 😲

Queen of Torment (War of Heavenly Fire Book 2) by Devyn Sinclair
Description
She sacrificed everything to save them. Now they’ll risk it all to save her.
Betrayal has consequences, and the price is my life.
Tortured every day for my betrayal, I’d choose it again if it meant the angels I love are safe. No matter the cost.
I don’t deserve their rescue, but my angels come for me anyway, risking the entire world to save my life.
Even though I’m free, Hell will never stop hunting me, and never stop trying to destroy Heaven. We have to end this.
But ending the war means going back to Hell once again, and this time, I may never come back.

My Review
If you thought the first book was good, then be prepared to be blown away by the next one.
You definitely need to read the first book Queen of Darkness before reading this one….
I’ll try not to give anything away, but this book does carry on from the first. Characters roles are fleshed out and we are given more details about the trinity, Arielle and Cassian.
The action doesn’t stop, and it was hard putting down. There is betrayal/passion and a few twists.
It shows us that good people can do bad things and vice versa. Arielle might have been brought up bad, but that doesn’t mean she wants to continue being bad!
I thought Arielle was a great character, she’s being constantly bombarded and bullied. But she refuses to become the weapon her father wants her to be….
I liked how Solomon/Atlas/Kai sought to forgive her and show her it was ok to want more. They are there for her, and that’s why it’s so hard for her to forgive herself and the actions she chose in the previous book.
I can’t wait to see where the third and final book takes us.

Queen of Annihilation (War of Heavenly Fire Book 3) by Devyn Sinclair
Description
They gave up everything for each other. Now they’ll give up everything to save the world.
I tried to end the war and failed.
Hell has a new queen. One obsessed with ending my life and the lives of my lovers. She will stop at nothing.
My angels and I are on the run, and nowhere is safe to hide. But the fate of the world is in our hands.
We unleashed Hell, and have no other choice but to destroy it.
I am the only one who can.
We have one last chance to defeat our enemies, or face our own annihilation.

My Review
With this being the third and final book in the trilogy, I was keen to see how it would play out. You definitely need to read the books in order before getting to this one.
Nissa (who is Arielle’s sister) now rule’s Hell! How did that happen? (You’ll need to read books one and two) and she’s out to end her sister and the men she’s fallen in love with!
All pieces fall into place and we get answers to questions I had in books one and two. But I did wonder if Arielle could win against her sister 🤔
The battle for good against evil was really well balanced. But the author never loses sight of the balancing battles with the plot. We get both written really well.
I liked that Arielle doesn’t immediately forgive and forget her past indiscretions, she battles with her conscience throughout the book. And even if the men she is now with have forgiven her, it’s not an easy thing for her to do!
So, the final battle with Nissa. Which way will it go? Will Arielle still choose the right side? Will the Trinity finally bond with her?
I’ve loved all three of these books, but I have to admit this is my favourite.
So if you like your heroine with a battle on her hands and the love of more than one male 😉 then this trilogy is for you.
A highly recommended read 👍🏻
