Violet must decide whether to pursue a normal human life or become a Grigori, while confronting newly recognised powers and obligations.
Violet’s relationship with Lincoln is shaped by a concealed angel partnership, while Phoenix pursues her and a love triangle develops.
Grigori protect humanity from exiled angels, and the conflict involves physical battles, murder and choices affecting angelic existence.
Some families may want to note grief connected with Violet’s mother’s death, sexual content and scantily clad clubbing, intense romantic entanglements, and fairly grisly murders involving angels.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
