5 utterly beautiful and captivating stars 
 The third installment was more than I expected, with revelations and surprises that took me on a journey that evoke emotions that not many books can create. 
 This was a love story beginning from the first book to the third one. It's a love story not just for two soul mates, but also the love from a father to a daughter, a brotherhood, a sisterhood, family made from blood and the ones that become your family as you connect with people in the journey of life. 
 "I think I'd pull down heaven if that's what it took to keep you here with me." 
 "And I'd abandon it if you weren't there." 
 Ava and Malachi's love was beautiful, one of the best love stories I've read. They were easy with one another even though their journey was one of hardship, heartbreak, and grief. I think that's why their HEA felt much more momentous. I love the way they found their way back to each other and learning about one another again as well as discovering where/whom they came from. 
 That discovery was the biggest secret of all. Never would I have even thought to go in the direction that Hunter did, and she did it so well. It was magical, shocking, sorrowful, and lovely all in all. 
 The archangels (the Fallen) are at war and these characters are caught in that war unaware of the connections they are a part of. Everything was so well written and imagined, the characters developed into their own, and the plot became more intense with each chapter. 
 Even though their story ended, Ava and Malachi will stay with me for a long, long time. I'm glad the series isn't completely over yet, and am patiently waiting for more. 
 If you want to experience an excellent love story of joy, heartbreak, wonder, and a slew of other emotions, this series is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. 
 Definitely favorite read of 2015 thus far.
