Even in the fathomless depths of the underworld and the bleak chambers of a damaged heart, the bonds of love can heal…or destroy.
He holds the ability to annihilate souls in the palm of his hand. He commands the respect of the most dangerous of demons and the most powerful of angels. He can seduce and dominate any female he wants with a mere look. But for all Azagoth’s power, he’s bound by shackles of his own making, and only an angel with a secret holds the key to his release.
She’s an angel with the extraordinary ability to travel through time and space. An angel with a tormented past she can’t escape. And when Lilliana is sent to Azagoth’s underworld realm, she finds that her past isn’t all she can’t escape. For the irresistibly sexy fallen angel known as Azagoth is also known as the Grim Reaper, and when he claims a soul, it’s forever…
My heart was overjoyed the moment I got an e-mail notifying me of Larissa Ione's newest release 1001 Dark Nights. You see, I'm a big Larissa Ione fan if you didn't know that already. The Demonica Series and The Lords of Deliverance Series were some of my favorite series', so reading this filled me with pure and utter enjoyment.
Azagoth was pretty damn good if I do say so myself. Seeing the characters from the Demonica and Lords of Deliverance series' in this novella was fucking awesome. The plot was kind of predictable, to me at least. But even though I knew what direction the book was going in I was still hooked from beginning to the very end. This is simply because Larissa is such an amazing writer, the words sound and feel so good that it didn't matter because I still enjoyed the book just as much.
So, what is this book about? Welp. Azagoth is the Grim Reaper/Keeper of souls and basically he's in turmoil with the Angels for reasons I cannot reveal to you as it would ruin the book for you. In the crossfire Lilianna, an angel, is thrown into the mix when she is forced into making a deal with Raphael the head Angel of Heaven where she is kind of forced into living in Azagoth's realm with him for eternity if she doesn't do what he has asked of her. Upon arrival Lilianna is set on hating Azagoth, doing what Raphael has told her to do, and regaining her place in heaven, but as with most stories this situation doesn't play out the way she thought it would and she begins to second guess her motives and intentions. Although they come from very different places with very different intentions they seem to figure things out pretty well. It's really nice to see how things play out.
Ione you've once again as well as many other times dazzled me with your words, and I cannot wait to rip into your next creation.

WARRIOR OF HEAVEN
Reaver is an angel with a past, a record, and a less-than-heavenly attitude. Powerful enough to fight alongside the fiercest battle angels-and crazy enough to risk his wings on a one-way mission to hell-he's agreed to go where no angel has ever gone before...to steal the most seductive and dangerous prize of Satan himself.
ANGEL OF HELL
Harvester is one of the Fallen, a once-heroic angel who sacrificed her wings to work as an undercover agent in hell. But now her cover has been blown, and she's been doomed to an eternity of agonizing torture. Even if Reaver can snatch her away from Satan's lair, even if they can fight their way out of the underworld's darkest depths, there is one thing Harvester can never escape-her newfound thirst for an angel's blood...
Can I just say that Larissa Ione has earned the title as my favorite Author fair and square. Over the years I have grown to love her writing and worlds more and more. Each character feeling real to me. From Tayla and Eidolon, Shade and Runa, Wraith and Serena, Lore and Idess, Sin and Con, Ares and Cara, Limos and Arik, Thantos and Regan, Reseph and Jillian, and now Reaver and Harvester. My world feels complete. Pleasure Unbound, the first book in the Demonica series was my introduction into my favorite genre of Paranormal Romance and I've been devouring anything Larissa publishes ever since.
NOW-- onto the review. Reaver is a 5,000 year old angel who has had his wings clipped and did various things to break Heaven's rules. Becoming the four horsemen, well and woman's Watcher proved to be a challenged especially because he had to work beside this sexy fallen angel, bad to the bone, hard ass chick named Harvester. When all hell breaks loose, literally and the aftermath occurs Reaver is left with the knowledge that Harvester has been working undercover for Heaven all along.
On top of that she's been watching over his children since the moment they were born, even though they weren't hers. Now captured by her father, Satan himself, Reaver knows she is going through unspeakable torture. He makes it his mission, against the angel's wishes to go where no other angel has attempted to before. The heart of hell to rescue a woman which is a fallen angel nonetheless without knowing what her reaction will be.
As secrets kept are uncovered and a never ending kindling of sparks spreads between both Reaver and Harvester you begin to wonder what is going to come of it. You begin to see that there is more to each of them than what's on the surface.
A fucking (excuse my french) amazing book. Ione does it again, she never fails to leave me in story lala limbo land once I finish reading one of her books. I think that next to Pleasure Unbound, Reaver may be my next favorite. I can tell that so much heart, patience, thought, and background story was put into this story. I'm telling you if you have not yet read a Larissa Ione book, GET ON THE BANDWAGON of ecstasy. Her books are out of this world fantastic. --Witty, humorous, sarcastic, smoking, sexy, sensual, and including all of the feels... Reaver is a book not to be missed.
