Reading Divinity was like conquering a half marathon for me. I see books of that size and I get scared because I am more of a sprint reader. I don’t usually have hours upon hours to devote to reading unless it is the weekend. Also as an avid reader my TBR pile could fall over and kill me at any given moment so devoting that much time for one book was hard. BUT I think the length is the book’s only misgiving because besides that, I really enjoyed the book. It was a fallen angel tale with lots of new creative ideas. The world building and characters are well thought out and described in length!

Divinity is a dual POV between Starling and Cam`ael, a fallen incubus. Their tales sometimes lead them into creepy and dark situations but Cam was my favorite character. Even though technically he was a fallen angel and forbidden to help Star, he still choose to protect her at all costs. His will to be good and do the right thing was an incredibly intriguing part of the book. I also loved how Star was a strong female character, as always this is important for me in a female character. She doesn’t ever play the damsel in distress card!

Overall, this book is definitely lengthy but worth the time. There is enough plot twists and happenings to keep you interested in the book. I would recommend this for adult fantasy readers, definitely not for ya aged readers!

WOW! Amazing Read! I couldn't put the book down. the story was so intricate and the characters so interesting. I love books about fallen Angels and this one has quickly flown to the top of my 10 most loved list.

My favourite of all was Cam of course how could it not. He was such a wonderful and heartbreaking character who loved and wanted to be loved so much. He knows he must be with her even if its technically forbidden, and he doesn't much care, As long as she needs him he will protect her. He was the warrior and the protector and no matter his circumstance he never compromised or changed himself for anyone.

Star was an incredible individual who didn't take crap and even though she was scared stood up for herself and others. Her story was tragic and heartbreaking but she didn't let it change her life and who she was. Her Divine gift sets her apart from others and her nightmares drive her to the edge of insanity but still she holds on, never fearing it will all come together in the end.

Morning Star was incredible in this book. He was witty, scary and dark as Hell itself. I would not want to come up against him. He is a larger then life character in a lot of peoples eyes which makes it him a hard character to write about and I think Susan nailed it perfectly!

I believe that Susan is a amazing author and I can't wait to read more of Cam and Stars story. This is the kind of book that could stand on its own or be put in a series. I think Susan went above and beyond when it came to describing the people and places. The story was incredible the characters witty and fun and the battles epic.
