REVIEW:Ignite by Erica Crouch

Penemuel (Pen) fell from grace over a millennium ago, yet there are still times she questions her decision to follow her twin brother, Azael, to Hell. Now that the archangel Michael has returned, threatening Lucifer’s vie for the throne, she begins questioning everything she has always believed. As Hell prepares for war - spreading a demonic virus and pilfering innocent souls to build an army - the lines separating the worlds blur. Fates erase and the future is left unwritten. Azael is determined that he and his sister will continue to serve as demons together, but for the first time in her life, Pen is not ruled by destiny. She has the freedom of choice. With choice comes sacrifice, and Pen must decide which side she’s willing to risk everything fighting for: the light, or the dark. 

 REVIEW: I really enjoyed this book! I thought the characters were well created and the story line was very engaging, leaving me wanting more! I never usually read books involving angels and demons however this one has changed my mind about the genre! The opening scene involving the killing at the asylum was very creepy and gripping, introducing me right into the book. I think the story line between Lucifer and Michael was interesting and the book was written at a very good pace. You really got a feel for the characters and their life as it includes references to their everyday life. I believe the story is interesting in the fact the main focus is on the angels and demons and not humans. However, I found some parts of it predictable (demon and angel love story). I can't wait for the next in the series!

CHARACTERS:

5/5
I loved Azael's character and his sarcasm - a real asset to the book.
