My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an interesting fantasy adventure with a MM Romance. The author does an amazing job with the characters and the influence of Chinese cultures and myths. This is what really brought this story to life for me all the little details that author put into the story.
In this book we meet Huli who is a nine tailed fox and Xiao who is a healer.

Huli has spent his whole life running away from danger and trying to save himself as everyone thinks he is a demon. He lives a very lonely and dangerous life.
Xiao has also known pain after having to deal with the grief of losing all his family.
Both of them do what they need to to be able to survive and neither of them expect to find companionship until they meet each other.
What happens next is a story about learning to trust and letting someone into your life.
Together they set out on the path to find what and who is responsible for the death of Xiao’s family but will they like what they find or are some secrets better left unknown.
This is an action packed fantasy adventure. There is a little romance involved in the story but it is very subtle and enhances the connection between Xiao and Huli without it taking over the story.

Get ready to jump inside this fantasy world and go on an adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

I’ve read one of the author’s previous works and definitely wanted to check out this new one and so glad that I did. Húlí, a nine tailed fox, has known rejection and isolation all his life and fights against demons like himself. As he is escaping some hounds, he ends up at a chance meeting with Xiao and things change after that. Their connection is amazing on how sometimes in life we may face rejection or the sheer devoid of wanting to connect but sometimes we do end up meeting a special someone who will change how we view the world and how it affects us. Along their adventure together, they end up meeting others that join along in their efforts and make for such an enjoyable read!

This is an author that I have loved reading from the first book I picked up by her. Her books are inviting, interesting and engaging. Some take you on an emotional ride and others like this one will take you on an adventure. I found this book to be well written and hard to put down. I enjoyed how the author used her writing skills and attention to details to not only give life to the story but also make it come to life. This is a fast paced fantasy story that is hard to put down and engaging. The characters pull you into their world from the start. They take you on an adventure of romance, danger, and magical. What fate has instored for these two characters you don’t want to miss. It will surprise you in parts and other emotions in other parts. I really enjoyed reading this book and watching the growth of the characters as well as the plot. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Messenger: An MM Romeo and Juliet Retelling (Star-Crossed Celestials) by A.L. Morrow – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.

Messenger (Star-Crossed Celestials Duet #2)Messenger by A.L. Morrow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cyrus and Jace are two men in love, but who cannot be together, Jace has been exiled and forced to leave Las Vegas, or Sin City as it is more commonly known and Cyrus is feeling well and truly lost without him, but he has to keep up appearances within the celestial community and that includes keeping Jace a closely guarded secret, as well as his transgressions with him. There are only a few people who actually know what happened between them and why Cyrus does not seem his usual self, not to mention his work is keeping him occupied, at least until the night falls and he searches for a way back to his one true love.

The person in question just happens to be a demon, a demon with connections, but as Cyrus ventures off the beaten path to find him, he tries to keep to the shadows and hope that his nightly activities are noticed by the powers that be, however, fate as usual is not on Cyrus’s side. One night, after he tries to continue his nocturnal searches, he comes home exhausted and to a dangerous sign, but things are about to get much worse for Cyrus when he is attacked by enemies whom he should be protected from and as they leave him for dead, an unlikely caretaker shows up, his angelic ex, who also happens to be someone who broke his heart in the past and has a hard time trusting.

While all this is happening, Jace is just trying to survive without Cyrus, so when he hears that the messenger is dead, he loses all hope and does the one thing he has been banned from doing, returning to Las Vegas, but when he gets there, he discovers that all is not lost and that Cyrus is not dead. Together, they uncover a sinister plot which could change everything they believe and everything they are working towards, but will they be able to foil it and save Sin City while both staying alive? This is another paranormal romance with a thrilling mystery throughout where it is a race against time to uncover the players and the game, where secrets, lies and revelations all appear out of nowhere and leave the same way in this enticing tale of star crossed lovers, angels and demons.

Messenger (Star-Crossed Celestials Duet #2)Messenger by A.L. Morrow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Messenger, the sequel in the Star-Crossed Celestials Duet, follows Messenger Cyrus after his love Watcher Jace was exiled from their community. Heartbroken, Cyrus starts searching for Jace, but his search proves to be dangerous to him when dark forces intercept Cyrus. Hiding away, Jace hears of the events and thinks that Cyrus is dead. Jace decides to return to the community to find that Cyrus is a live and that there are plans to change the community, worse than ever before. Now, Cyrus and Jace must decide whether they should save each other or save the community. Which one will they choose? Find out in Messenger.
The sequel greatly compliments the first in the series. The characters are still loveable and relatable with relatable feelings. The story’s evolution keeps the reader on the edge of their seat and mystery after mystery keeps the pages turning. The love between Cyrus and Jace is almost palpable through the pages. AL. Morrow does an amazing job of describing the world in a way that the reader feels as though they are there with the characters.
If you are looking for a suspenseful romance with a fantasy element, look no further. Messenger will keep you hooked until the very end. Make sure to pick up a copy of Watcher, the first book in the series, for a more enjoyable experience with Messenger. Just as a warning, there is some content that may be sensitive to some readers. Such content is described in the Author’s Note. Overall, I love this duet.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A. L. Morrow has written a brilliant tale of Romeo and Juliet, a story of star-crossed lovers but in a celestial setting. This book kept me on a roller coaster of emotions, from sadness at a loss to joy for the lovers being reunited, but then distraught for everything they had yet to experience. I want to go back and read book 1 so that I can put together the pieces of their back story. This was an amazing read and I highly recommend it if you are a fan of a happily ever after story. What amazing characters Jace and Cyrus are, along with all of the other characters that we come across along this journey.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Watcher and messenger two beings from opposite sides that are always supposed to be enemies. Yet Jace and Cyrus feel a pull like no other and face the worst imaginable if they act upon it. love is not ready to be denied. The two are forced apart and their bond is put to the test and when one thinks the other is dead all bets are off.

This book continues to bring the reader into the imaginative world of the paranormal. No matter what side they are on Jace and Cyrus are good together. The two work hard to find their way and they will fight to keep their love. Emotions are strong in this book and it will pull on your heart. Their story is fast paced and there is a lot going on. I enjoyed seeing the two stand up and fight for what they want. The love between the two shines through in everything that they do. Both of these characters endeared themselves to this reader and I was quickly pulled into their story. This is an interesting take on the story of Romeo and Juliet. The author has created an engaging world with interesting characters and I am eager to see what will happen next.

After reading the first book in this series, it leaves the reader hanging on what will happen with Jace and Cyrus’ relationship after Jace is exiled. Well as this book starts, Cyrus is on a mission to find Jace wherever he can think of in Las Vegas. He ends up finding something quite unexpected and gets attacked. Luckily a caretaker comes to Cyrus’ aid during his time. Word travels fast and Jace ends up hearing that Cyrus is dead. The unfortunate thing he comes back to is discover a more devious plan involving them. I very much enjoy the paranormal elements of this story interwoven with the R&J retelling background. If you enjoyed the first book, you will definitely enjoy this one as well!

Very creative twist on a Romeo and Juliet retelling. This is a MM romance and the 2nd (and final) book in the duology. Definitely read the 1st book before reading this one so you will understand what’s going on with Jace and Cyrus and everything they have to contend with. This book is filled with angels and demons and everything in between. Morrow has fantastic world building and I love the way they continue to develop the characters and plot line. Would highly recommend if MM, steamy romance, and great retellings are your thing!

This book is action packed and pretty sexy. It continues from Book 1, Watcher, so it is best to read that one first. However, I did not and still really enjoyed Jace and Cyrus’ conclusion! I can’t wait to go back and read book 1! And I am hoping there are more books that follow the other characters in this story, especially Hesper and those at the Ranch!

I liked this author’s writing style. It was easy to follow along in this fantasy-human world. There are several character types, Demons, Watchers, Messengers, and Humans. Being that this is the first book I have read in this series there may be more!

The romance in this story is MM. And definitely NSFW or young readers or those with sensitive reading styles. While it claims to be a Romeo and Juliet style star crossed love, I didn’t particularly sense that in this book, maybe if I had read book 1 first I would see that aspect more. Still really enjoyed this story.

Messenger is an incredible sequel, and it does not disappoint! I highly recommend reading Watcher, the first book in the series, just so you can get all of the wonderful backstory and learn about the characters. I think there would be some confusion if you skipped straight to the second book. The story of Jace and Cyrus is one full of paranormal romance, tension, and vengeance. You can feel the chemistry, love, heartbreak, and a full range of emotions as you learn more and more about them. Even as the odds stack against them, you never know what is going to happen. It is definitely a different twist on Romeo and Juliet, but this is one of my favorites so far! Will either of them get what they want or is it a fool’s errand? I definitely think you’ll enjoy this book if you like MM stories of the paranormal romance genre.

I love this interesting take on Romeo and Juliet with this MM Romance….and as I started the pages I love that the author provided a “cast” to get to know whom each character represents. Watchers, demons, messengers and danger….I really loved this story.

War is stirring…watchers and demons vs the messengers but what happens with Jace whom is a watcher and Cyrus who is a messenger….sparks and sizzle but love is forbidden. Will Jace and Cyrus be able to overcome the danger that comes their way and their feelings for each other no waiver?

This novel is well written. I have not read Romeo and Juliet (I know, leave me alone), but this love story is skillfully written and it is LGBTQ+ friendly. The storyline is similar to Romeo and Juliet, but the celestial twist kept me fully engaged. Each time I have attempted to read the true Shakespeare novel I have DNF’d it. This book I was not able to put down.

I did not read the first book of this series, but it is easy enough to put the pieces together if you start with this novel. I of course plan on going back and reading the first after finishing this one. The book was so good and I love the writing style of this author.

The characters and plot are well thought out. I enjoyed both Jace and Cyrus. I also enjoyed that there was more plot than erotica. These scenes were limited and the first one I came across was more than halfway through the book. I prefer more plot than erotica. It was very enjoyable and I highly recommend!

Messenger (Star-Crossed Celestials Duet #2)Messenger by A.L. Morrow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cyrus is in turmoil now, his soul mate has been banished out of Sin City and tensions are rising with the Angel and Demon worlds, but also Cyrus is threatened to be punished as he protected the Demon Watcher, he loves by killing his own kind a messenger.

Jace has been banished by the Archangel, Astra to live in the dessert with all the other outcasts deemed to have done wrong in this world but Jace is still drawn to his lover, Cyrus and hopes one day he will be in his arms again.

As the tensions heat up, Xavier, Cyrus’s ex-boyfriend and head of the Army tries to protect him from the repercussions of the attack but one night the forces take matters into their own hands and use powerful magic on Cyrus and leave him almost dead. Xavier ceases the opportunity to look after Cyrus and try and rekindle the love he had before the betrayal Xavier did to stop Cyrus moving on.

Meanwhile, tensions are rising, and can Astra the Archangel reclaim Sin City and work in harmony with Humans, Demons and Angels alike?

This is the first book I have read in this series and although I pick up the story it may have helped if I had read the first book The Watcher which may have given a bit more context to some of the angst between the characters. Although saying that I thoroughly enjoyed the unique twist on Romeo and Juliet and being set in a world of Angels and Demons.

I have to say the interaction between Jace and Cyrus was sweet, and the chemistry slowly built as the characters for most of the book were tackling their own dark demons so to speak. The secondary characters were a great addition to the story, and I loved the sassy nature and character of Jace’s sister Caz and would like to see how her relationship moves forward.

This is not my normal genre and picked the book up as it looked an interesting twist on a classic story. The Story was well written and flowed through at a great pace. I would like to read more for this author going forward.

They were just as strong characters in this book as the first and I loved watching their development progress even further as the story went on.
The story was a great follow on. It was more emotional than I expected it would be but I think that added to it. I really enjoyed reading this story and I am looking forward to seeing what else this author has in store.

I personally would highly recommend reading these books in order, so you get the true feel for the story and the character arcs within them. This particular story is a MM twist on Romeo and Juliet. It is filled with the forbidden romance we know well, the parts that hit me were the emotions and inner torment for the characters.

“Every time I look at you, I remember what happened that night,” Lyle

I’m the reason why he almost died that night. If it wasn’t for…no, I’m too afraid to say it. The memory is too fresh. I’m not worthy of him. Perhaps I’m like my father, after all. Why do we hurt those we love the most? This affliction called love is painful and I’m the one who brings him the most pain, but I can’t stay away because he is my drug of choice.

Afflicted Love is the first book in the Rhythm & Heart Series, a M/M romance by dark contemporary romance author, Autumn Sand. If you like raw emotions, steamy sex scenes and gorgeous men, then this is the series for you.

Messenger (Star-Crossed Celestials Duet #2)Messenger by A.L. Morrow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The conclusion to Cyrus and Jace’s story. The Messenger was alright. An MM romance with a lot of drama to go along with it. The author keeps on intrigued in what’s been written. Also the display of character growth is beautiful in its own way.
At the conclusion of the Perdition Riots Jace was exiled from the city of Las Vegas. If he stayed away the messengers couldn’t touch him. However he asked Cyrus to come with him and at the time he said no. With some regret Cyrus is doing what he can to find Jace and make sure he’s alright. Unfortunately other messengers have plans for Cyrus. He killed one of his own kind to protect the enemy he must pay. And pay he did, left for dead in an alley his life changed forever.
Jace living on a ranch in Tucson has been trying to adapt to his new way of life. He’s a mess though, he misses Cyrus. So when he finds out Cyrus was attacked and left for dead, he doesn’t care about breaking his exile agreement. Once he re enters Las Vegas all bets are off, he’s fair game for the messengers. What he found though, was unexpected.
What happens to Cyrus?
What will happen between Cyrus and Jace?
How can they keep the messengers that want them gone at bay?
Those questions and so many more. You could very well read this book as a standalone, but I would advise reading it as a pair with book 1 Watcher. If you’ve already read Watcher, what are you waiting for? It’s time to read the epic conclusion.

Messenger (Star-Crossed Celestials Book 2) by A.L. Morrow – Review by Paloma Fierro 16/04/2023

The world as you know it does not longer exist. The war between angels and demons has involved the human kind and the results are horrific.

 

Cyrus and Jace, the first a messenger from the skies has fallen in love with the second a exile from the celestial community after breaking the laws has a watcher. 

 

In the battle field of Sin City the different types of angels and demons make the life of the place a living hell, the lack of order and discrimination against each other had made the lovers torn apart. Forces of each legion will ensure the chaos prevails so the goals are reached. 

 

Cyrus will seek to find Jace against all judgment, and Jace will try to understand the new role that the consequences of his actions now bring him.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is amazing. First thing first, you do need to read the first book in this series to understand fully what is going on. I skipped it, however, I will be going back to read it. I mean you can read this book without reading the first but it makes it harder to understand the dynamic between Jase and Cyrus. This book picks up where the other left off and it goes into detail about things but I feel I would have had a fuller understanding of what was happening had I read the first book before this one. That being said, this book is still amazing and I felt myself getting swept away with the story. It brings elements into the concept of Romeo and Juliet. There isn’t much of a resemblance to the actual Romeo and Juliet story because this one is between two males, had supernatural aspects, and really the only thing it has in common with Romeo and Juliet is the forbidden love between the two main characters. That said, it was an amazing spin on a timeless classic piece of literature. The slow burn between the charters that builds throughout the book. You can tell instantly how much they each care for each other and you can also feel, how everyone disagrees with some of their choices. It has angst, suspense, drama, love, and some good steam. You will not be disappointed reading this book if you like celestial, paranormal romance. I just suggest reading the first book in the series before this one so you are all caught up and not struggling to figure out things along the way. However, if you. just want to devour a great book and don’t mind not knowing everything but eventually being able to piece things together, go for it!!! This book will leave you wanting more, so I am excited to go back and read the first one in the series.

This is the second book in the series, so I would highly recommend reading the first before starting this one.
I love twists and retellings of the classics so when I came across this book (bonus points for paranormal elements – angels) I knew I had to read both books.

Jace and Cyrus are great characters. There are other well-written characters in this book, but as the main characters Jace and Cyrus steal the show. The struggle they face following the conclusion of the last book is gut-wrenching and the pain they feel is written well. I really felt for the pair as they suffered.
I was rooting for them from the beginning and was invested to see how they would navigate the obstacles in their way as they made their way forward.

  • If you enjoy retellings, angels and forbidden love, I would recommend this book.

I think one of my favorite parts about this series is that it doesn’t matter where someone comes from. Some of these characters will do the right thing even if it goes against their society’s norms. The most unlikely of actions can from the people we least expect them to. Their love that should be forbidden in every sense has changed their worlds in ways I doubt either of them imagined it would.

This is the 2nd book in the Star- Crossed Celestials Duet series. I would really recommend reading these books in order so you follow the story of our characters and understand how they are in the position they start this story from. This is a paranormal MM romance. It is also a twist on Romeo and Juliet. This is a story of forbidden love and all the pain and hurt that goes along with it when you can’t be with the person you really love because of circumstances out of your control. Jace and Cyrus finally found each other and found their soul mates, however that wasn’t meant to be. With Jace being removed by law and Cyrus choosing to stay to carry on protecting the world by keeping demons under control the lovers are forced apart.
Jace is a Watcher who’s job is the look after the humans and keep the demons under control. Cyrus is a Messenger and his role is to keep the Watchers under control. Because of their differences they shouldn’t be together. Its not right or the way things should be. When Jace is involved in trouble he is banished from Las Vegas leaving his home,family and love behind.

Messenger (Star-Crossed Celestials Book #2) by A.L. Morrow – Review by Angela Hayes

Messenger (Star-Crossed Celestials Duet #2)Messenger by A.L. Morrow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Messenger is the second book in the Star-Crossed Celestials Duet by A.L Morrow. It definitely gives ‘Romeo & Juliet’ vibes, with a bit of a twist in the form of a celestial spin. This is a MM paranormal romance- an urban fantasy with angst, action, drama, celestials, demons, tension, chemistry, star-crossed lovers, fate, emotion, and sizzle.
This genre is definitely A.L. Morrow’s wheelhouse, and she’s delivered another stellar read. She always manages to surprise me, in a great way. So, if you love MM fantasy with angst, and some sexy twists- then you are definitely going to want to read this story/duology for yourself.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, A.L. Morrow!
