I loved this book! Right up my alley. Definitely an adult read. ( )

This was a well written story, however I could not follow the storyline as I have not read the previous books in the story. It is a genre that I enjoy reading, So I encourage others to do as I am doing and get the first two books in this series as it will be easier to follow the story. I know you will enjoy this series as much as I enjoyed reading Dark Before Dawn.
Thank you to the publisher for sending me this book and introducing me to this author and this series. Thank you to the author for writing this series. ( )

I received a copy of this book from LibraryThing in exchange for a review.

Four angels stand around a crib. Each brings a blessing to the young child who sleeps. But in the shadows, another watch, and unlike the others, his intentions are far from good.
Hope has waited twelve long years for Michael’s return. She refused to believe he might be gone forever. A lot has happened during those intervening years. Hope has become a lawyer. And Aurora, her baby sister, was born. When Michael does return, he presents Hope with the choice of leaving her family behind forever, but in doing so, she would leave the world without its angelic protector. Can Hope give up her loved ones and her role as protector to spend eternity with the one she loves? Years pass as Hope ponders her options.
The other angels aren’t happy with accepting Hope into their realm. They want nothing but to see Hope and Michael go their separate ways. When the unthinkable happens, and Aurora and her friend are abducted, Hope has to force the angels to help her rescue her sister.
This multi layered story centers around the need for revenge…and the redemption of forgiveness. It brings a focus on domestic child trafficking and the horrors that go with it. But despite the horror, there is light in the world.
Wonderfully told and gripping, this story will stay with you long after you’ve finished reading. ( )

Great book. I recommend to all adult book readers. I voluntarily reviewed the book. ( )

This was my first time reading McGurk, yet I was able to fully understand this third installment of her Archangel Prophecies trilogy. Hope, an attorney, has a life altering choice to make in relation to Michael, a powerful archangel who is in love with her. Meanwhile, her family is being infiltrated by an evil force from the past. The story touches on some important social justice issues such as foster care, child sex trade, SES, and religion. Heavy hitters for one novel, but it somehow works. ( )
