Redemption
Viki Lyn & Vina Grey
Thou shall not kill
Archangel Raziel had no choice. He would break the Infinite’s commandment again to save his lover, Uriel, from a demon’s talons. Yet even the Infinite’s most trusted archangel cannot avoid punishment. Forced to go through the Cleansing, Raziel loses his memories and is renamed Izar, a Protector sworn to kill for the angels.
Years later, Izar is summoned to work alongside Uriel to capture a killer. Izar is shocked when his bloodlust spikes hot for the archangel. But a relationship between Protectors and angels is forbidden. As they rush to find the killer, their passion plays into the demon’s plan. Izar will have to choose between life and death if he is to save Uriel again.
Excerpt
Uri’s wings expanded to their full breadth. As his feathers hummed and synchronized with his brethren, the Infinite’s light entered through his head. His physical self merged with his mind and spirit. The sensation like he had jumped into an ice-cold lake, a startling jolt Uri had learned to expect.
He mouthed the chant of mercy but focused on Razi. He desperately needed to touch his lover’s mind one last time.
Their telepathic connection wavered, but he refused to give up.
One last time, the Infinite, I beg of you, let me touch his mind one last time.
Relief made his knees weak at the familiar tingle in his skull.
Razi, can you hear me?
Yes…yes, amatamea, but I told you not to come.
Razi’s deep voice sent a shiver through him. Tears moistened Uri’s cheeks at Razi’s endearment of eternal love. Their heartbeats synced. They were one, and it would be this way forever. He would never separate his soul from Razi’s.
Razi’s crisp command infiltrated Uri’s thoughts.
You weren’t supposed to come here.
How can I stay away when you need me?
You promised me.
I needed to be here with you.
Then promise me this, you’ll live for me.

Review: This was an amazing journey for both Uriel and Raziel. I was stunned by how well written and smoothly this story read. The descriptions of different things throughout the book was fantastic. I loved how Uriel was so devoted to Raziel as well as the difference yet the similarities between Raziel and Izar.
I really felt for Uriel as he had to watch what happened to Raziel at the beginning then when he was expected to work with Izar knowing who he used to be. The way the crimes were committed were horrifying. I couldn’t believe the lengths the demon went to achieve his goal.
Was blown away and very happy with an ending I never saw coming. This book will keep you on the edge of your set the further you progress in the well written book. I absolutely loved it and can’t wait to see what these two authors have in store for the next book. Highly recommended.
Thank you Shorty for the wonderful review! And, MM Good Reviews for hosting us today! 🙂
I am a huge fan. I absolutely LOVE the oebus Arcane series and am wondering if there will be one more. Ive already started reading Redemption and surprise I love it
Thank you Kristy, I’m so glad you like Redemption too. We are mulling over book 2 right now. It means a lot to us to hear from our readers. We finished John and Vince’s romance arc in book 3 – Love’s Last Bite (published on Amazon. Bite In Time is book 2) And yes, we are writing Forbidden Bite (Book 4) which features are lovable rascal Angelo and the serious Jude Mikhail. Trying to get those two together is a challenge. 🙂 John and Vince will also be making mischief, because Vina and I can’t leave those two boys alone!
(Posting for Vina) Dear Kristy, how wonderful to read your comment. I have been stuck in airports all day due to bad weather, and and your comment inspired me to buckle down and continue writing Angelo and JM’s story – that’s book for the Arbus Arcana series as Viki said. Enjoy Redemption.
Cheers, Vina
