A Witch. A Demon. And A Choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Creatures from outer realms suck, as any gatekeeper worth their salt will tell you. Welcome to Rogan\u2019s life, an orphaned seventeen-year-old who lives and trains with other misfits under her uncle\u2019s roof, keeping Earth safe from non-human realm jumpers. Rogan\u2019s biggest issue concerns her uncle\u2019s short leash with her freedom\u2014that is of course, until she\u2019s taken by a notorious witch, and her life begins to unravel. Soon, the supernatural beauty discovers there\u2019s a reason her uncle kept such a tight lock on her whereabouts, and that she has more than angel blood running through her veins.<\/p>\n<p>Eighteen-year-old Max is an angel, and Rogan\u2019s mentor and guardian. He\u2019s well aware of her tenacious inability to obey orders, though he also knows she\u2019s a fierce fighter. When he\u2019s involved in a scheme that ultimately gets Rogan kidnapped, he must battle his way back to her in an attempt to save her from the darkness threatening to possess her.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Review<\/h2>\n<p>I wasn&#8217;t in love with\u00a0<em>Wings of Flesh and Bones<\/em>. It&#8217;s not a\u00a0<em>bad<\/em> book or story, it just wasn&#8217;t to my personal tastes. The reader is teased with little bits and pieces of information throughout the entire book that, rather than make me more interested in finishing the story, annoyed me.<\/p>\n<p>I also felt as though the story was &#8220;quilted&#8221; together. As in, bits and pieces of story were sewn together onto a single cohesive arc. It was a bit disjointed at times, and the jumps between locations and people got a bit confusing.<\/p>\n<p>I also found a handful of errors, although I imagine that&#8217;s because the copy I received was an ARC.<\/p>\n<p>The writing quality was pretty good, and the broader, underlying story arc was interesting. I wish it had been allowed to shine through more. If you don&#8217;t mind being teased with information, then I think there&#8217;s a good chance you&#8217;ll enjoy the book. If that bothers you, like it does me, then this probably isn&#8217;t the one for you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Giveaway!<\/h2>\n<p><a id=\"rcwidget_1723ep9l\" class=\"rcptr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rafflecopter.com\/rafl\/display\/d04251232482\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-raflid=\"d04251232482\" data-theme=\"classic\" data-template=\"\">a Rafflecopter giveaway<\/a><br \/>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/widget-prime.rafflecopter.com\/launch.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1451\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Cathrina.jpg?resize=225%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Cathrina Constantine\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Cathrina.jpg?w=225&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Cathrina.jpg?resize=113%2C150&amp;ssl=1 113w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Cathrina Constantine is the Best Selling author of Don&#8217;t Forget To\u00a0Breathe.
