In
the beginning God made the heavens and the earth, and everything in
between. The In-between was unplanned, unexpected, and unwelcome. Every
action causes a reaction and when mankind was born, so were the Fae.
Suddenly it
was up to Heaven to save Earth. God created Angels to right his wrong,
to save human kind. A deal was made, an agreement of sorts. The Angels
would protect humanity from Fae domination and destruction, and in
return they would have inhuman strength and immortality. Thus a time of
angels swooping in to save humans from free will, bad decisions, and big
mistakes began. They protected humans from the Fae who intentionally
enslaved them, leaving shells of humans, or worse, leaving nothing at
all.
Even God doesn’t always learn from mistakes. Angels were given freedom of choice. Some Angels chose wrong. When some of them spread their wings, they went too far, and just as Icharus was punished for getting too close to the sun, they were punished for getting too close to mankind.
So they fell. Falling was the easy part.

It was late afternoon when
they returned and it was Anna’s restlessness that caught Seth’s
attention. The rest of the Guardians went to their rooms to unwind, but
Anna was pacing on the roof. Instead of settling into their office, as he
normally did, Seth walked the extra steps to discover what was troubling
Anna. This was completely unlike her.
“Anna,” he said calmly
when he reached her.
She whipped around. Her
wings were unfurled and twitching nervously. The rustling of her feathers
concerned him. When he saw the look in her eyes, he was even more
disturbed. “Why?” She asked as her eyes darted about...up at the
sky, then over the edge of the roof, back to Seth and all around. “Why
are we not permitted to form attachments? Why can we not...be friends
with humans?” The frustration in her voice was evident. “Why,
Seth? What is so wrong and different about us that we can’t be around His
other creations?”
Seth slowly came
closer. He feared she was about to cry. In all their years of
communal living, he had seen her cry...never. She hadn’t shed a tear over
wars. She had seen countless horrific events pass, yet this was the first
time anything had ever seemed to get under her skin and affect her.
“There’s nothing wrong
with us, Anna. You know that. We simply shouldn’t be distracted.
Attachments create distractions; they make us weak. We would be inclined
to put the good of the few above the needs of the many. That isn’t our
mission. No entanglements. No distractions. These rules were
created for a reason.” He spoke in gentle soothing tones. It was
obvious his words fell on deaf ears.
She shook her head. “We weren’t supposed to live together.
We were supposed to be scattered about the globe. Instead, you decided
that we should act as one. If that can change, if the Father can
understand the rationale for that change...maybe there could be more...”

My Review...
Soooooo, I liked the concept of this book but....I felt it was a slow start which I actually think couldn't be helped because there was so much story and foundation to build so you could get immersed into this world.
The books stars with God making humans then it backfiring so he has to create angels to help the wrongs created with the humans but at the same time the humans are being tempted by the fae.
