WAR IS COMING… the angels of Osestra and the demons of Exilum are preparing for the final battle to be played out in Manna, the human realm, and one young man is caught in the middle.
Vern Swain may be the key to everything.Vern is a country boy dreaming of seeing his name up in lights. He runs away to become a star. His journey is just beginning, but it takes him in unusual directions…right in the path of his guardian demon.
Teague, son of Xaphan is a demon of Exilum charged with ruining Vern's life, but he just can't do it. He's confronted by his family, and forced to choose sides.
War is coming, but who's fighting for Manna?
I want to start by saying that there is a lot of "setting up" storytelling in Demon or Angel which may make it hard for some to connect, but make no mistake it is storytelling with brilliant potential. I can't wait to see where the Lynn Michaels takes the Age of Exilum series.
Now lets get to Demon or Angel.
As the saying goes, there's a fine line between love and hate, I have a feeling the line between demon and angel, right and wrong, good and evil is going to be even finer in this series. Vern and Teague seem to be the stars in this play but I sense Sean and Tucker have a very large part to play in the future battle for Manna(Earth). This is one of those universes where every character plays a part, no one is what I call filler, no matter how small a part or how few pages they might appear in they all make a lasting impact.
I loved watching Vern grow in this story. With a bully for a father and bullies everywhere he turns, with the exception of Sean, you know he's going to overcome it but watching that journey is a true delight. As for Teague he seems to be on his own journey of discovery, soul searching to where is loyalties lie which make for some interesting scenes between him and his brother, Zepher.
Do bad things happen to good people for a reason? And is that reason worth the pain and suffering? These are questions that you'll have to discover for yourself. Sometimes books in a continuing series like Age of Exilum can be hard to get into because of the amount of time the author devotes to setting the scene, getting to know the characters, overall universe building but Demon or Angel is easy to get lost in. Now, I don't mean you find yourself lost and unsure of what's going on, no, I mean to get so immersed in the story and characters that before you know it you reached the last page and are left wanting for the next installment. So if you are the kind of reader who doesn't like to wait for the story to continue I recommend waiting to start but definitely put this at the top of your TBR list because it's absolutely brilliant reading.
