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.
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.

Morrow – Review by Paloma Fierro 16/04/2023
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. Reviewed by: @bbohls

Morrow – Review by Barbara Bohls
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.

Morrow – Review by Marie Collins
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. Neither Cyrus or Jace are coping well being apart and Cyrus is trying desperately hard to find him to reunite with him. But with a war that keeps breaking out, being monitored by his fellow Messengers and an ex lover who will stop at nothing to get Cyrus back it’s going to be one long fight for him to find the man he truly loves.
This story is emotional, you can really feel the heartbreak and torment that both Jace and Cyrus go through being apart and also their determination to find a way to get back to one another. The author really brings this story to life and invites the reader into a world that is fast paced, engaging and makes you feel like you are beside Jace and Cyrus every step of the way.
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!

Morrow – Review by Angela Hayes
This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book. I never hesitate to pick up one of this author’s books. This is the second book in this series which I highly suggest reading the first book as well to help your enjoyment of this series and author. It is always great to see where the characters come from to where they are now. I enjoyed reading this book just as much as the first one, maybe even more. I found this book to be fast paced and full of romance and action. It is hard to put down as it is that engaging. A well written story where Jace and Cyrus are faced with a race against time and a choice to save themselves or their souls. They are great connectable characters that are my favorite. I enjoyed what they brought to the story and their chemistry is great together. They pulled me into their world and had me coming back for more. This is an easy and entertaining story to read and one you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book and this author.
I have followed this story from the beginning. Fascinating retelling of Romeo/Juliet in a different way. Watchers & Messengers at war but Cyrus and Jace will fight through it all. Exciting storyline. There’s steamy romance for those that like it. I found the storyline better to stick with and just skipped those parts. This author makes you feel like you are right in the battle. It truly is good and evil. The characters are so relatable. When Cyrus feeds the demon child on Sheole Street and is arrested, you just want to yell “travesty!” It has been a wondeful duet. Do read the first one first. it will make this one even better. You might also enjoy Emissary, a prequel to this duet.
4 stars Messenger certainly twists things up as for a Romeo and Juliet retelling. This forbidden love tale is a MM love story set in the stars. It is the second book and another wonderful paranormal story in the Star-Crossed Celestials books. This sweet and steamy contemporary romance tale also has fantasy elements. Make sure you read the first book Watcher first. It is full of hurt and fear, forbidden love and drama, action and tension, hope and redemption, sorrow and longing. Messenger is bit of an emotional read and it is so easy to love these celestial beings Jace and Cyrus and feel for them. It’s a bit of a tougher journey for them this time. Cyrus will not stop until he finds what was stolen from him. Jace has lost all he ever wanted. Now he doesn’t want to go on without him. All hell is about to be unleashed. Will they be able to find their way back to each other? Will they break their promise to each other to save a City or will they lose forever? If you’re a fan of sexy fairy-tale retellings with a twist, then you will love this one as much as the first book.
Nothing has been the same for Messenger angel Cyrus since Jace was exiled from the celestial community. Night after night, he searches Sin City for the demon who might have the answers he needs to find his lost love. But his quest hasn’t gone unnoticed. Dark forces reach Cyrus first, and a brutal encounter with his enemy leaves him at the mercy of the ruthless warrior who once broke his heart.
Believing Cyrus has been killed, Jace returns to Sin City with a death wish and one thought in mind: vengeance. Instead, he finds Cyrus alive and the unsuspecting center of a plot that will change Sin City—for the worse—forever.
Time has never been a friend to Jace and Cyrus, but now the clock is ticking faster than ever. With the fate of the city on the line, they’ll need to choose between saving each other or saving their souls.
Romeo and Juliet gets a celestial spin (and a happy ending!) in this duology featuring forbidden love, mixed-up messages, hurt/comfort, and redemption. Intended for readers ages 18+ and best enjoyed when read in the following order: Watcher (Book 1), Messenger (Book 2).

So, I am in shock. Never thought that traveling can be an eye-opener to the truth. Well for Dan, losing life and family he never thought there was truth in the road than at his own home. I was feeling weird at first about the book (in a good way, don’t get me wrong) then when I found out that Dan was missing something in life that made him think about his relationship with his wife that changed the ball game for me because after a while reading into the long drive in the road with Jake that clicked. It is funny that sometimes to know the truth you have to take a ride and see where that leads you. 5 stars for the Author because life is all about taking chances and taking a long drive to clear your mind and that is what Dan did.
Dan is struggling to find peace while going through a divorce. As a truck driver, Dan spends a lot of time by himself on the road but he gets caught driving without a license. Dan is suddenly saddled with another driver, Jake. Dan just wants to get the job done and get back to his daughter but this ride will be different than any previous rides. If you love stories about self discovery, then this is the book for you.

This story is about a man named Dan who is a divorced truck driver with a complicated relationship with his daughter, due to being absent so often for work. It seems that one thing is going wrong after another and he can’t catch a break as he tries to navigate through the minefield that is his life. Though he has driven a truck for years, getting caught without a license sets him way back. He has another chance to get his license and work, but he is on probation and has to have an instructor with him so he can re-learn the job he has done for so long. As he drives, his relationship with Jake, his instructor develops and he begins to feel things he never expected to feel for another man. His character grows a lot through this book as he admits his wrongs and discovers himself. This story is well written. There is good character development and the story is enjoyable, if you are into this sort of book. This is not the type of book that I am normally am interested in, but that is personal preference and nothing to do with the authors writing. If you like this type of story, this book is worth a read.
This was a first from this author and I was not at all disappointed. Over the road long distance truck driving can be hard on a person, but add in the responsibility of paying your child’s college tuition and your stresses are tripled. This book follows a couple of truck drivers and things have a weird way of working themselves out, no matter what the obstical or challenge.
This one was a first for me, I am usually not big on romance but I will have to give this one a pass. Strong characters, and a great storyline. Fast read and intriguing. It keeps you interested to see what will happen in the end. Overall good writing style and I would read another from this author.

I am not going to lie, based off the beginning, I wasn’t sure I would be able to get past the first few chapters. I did not like Dan, and my dislike was enough that I almost stopped reading. But based on a few interactions with Jake, I was just curious enough to keep reading, and I am so glad I did. I’m still not sure I like Dan, but he at least grows as a person and learns from his experiences. Jake was fun, though I am not quite sure what attracted him to Dan. I absolutely adore Mimi!
This story is not really about Dan and Jake’s relationship, it is more about Dan facing his prejudices and learning to be a better person. In the end, I enjoyed this book.
In this story there’s a lot to unfold. You have Dan, who is fighting to do what is right by his kid. He failed her and his ex-wife many years ago by always choosing the trucker life over them. The guilt he carries is heavy. He is trying to help her achieve her dreams.
This all comes when he is caught driving without a license. Then the real secret comes out as to why he has struggled passing the written test. Especially when it’s been proven and proved again that he is a heck of a trucker.
His boss pairs him up with a fellow driver Jake. Dan has made his own assumptions of Jake. However, this week long cross country trek proves to change minds, not just Dan’s but Jake’s as well. All while Dan is trying to make good on a promise to his kid.
The ending surprised me.
There is some MM relationship in this book and a lot of banter and “joking” about it from both characters and for some people that might be a bit uncomfortable. But if you look at the situation it’s something that if these were real people they’d likely be experiencing this exact thing.

“There are two truths in life. One road leaves to where you want to go… Two all roads circle back to oneself, even if that person in the mirror is not recognizable from when the journey began.”
Dan’s life is at the point that he doesn’t know which way is up and he feels like a failure. Dan is a truck driver that just got saddled with a partner, Jake who follows every rule to a “T” when it comes to driving. Can Dan stand the strict rules that Jake insist on following? Will there time on the road bring them closer together or drive them crazy?
This is not typically a book that I would read. I didn’t realize exactly how the story line would unfold in the relationship between Jake and Dan. I will admit that there were scenes that I skimmed more than read. Overall the book was a good read with challenges faced by both Jake and Dan. There was quiet a bit of road blocks and challenges, but together they were able to overcome them.

This was a really good read! I actually enjoyed this one a lot more than I thought I would. It had a lot of depth and angst for a shirt book and I honestly wasn’t expecting it at all. MM books aren’t what I typically go to to read but I’m really glad I gave this one a chance! This is the first time I’ve read this author before and I wasn’t disappointed!
This is a great story of family, friendship, and finding love in the most unsuspecting of places. This is a MM romance. It has a very Brokeback Mountain feel to it. I loved getting to know Dan and Jake and seeing their relationship develop. And Mimi, the dog, had my heart from the first time we meet her. This is a great read with a few *spicy* scenes and I would highly recommend. I can’t wait to see if McKibben is going to come out with a sequel. Reviewed by @megan
The Silent Road is the first book I’ve read from author S.N. McKibben. This story takes the reader on a journey with Dan, a divorced father and truck driver who cannot seem to catch a break in any aspect of his life. He feels like a failure of a husband because he loved the road as a truck driver more than he enjoyed time with his family. He feels like a failure of a father because of the turmoil of a somewhat absent father. Now he is having to be trained to drive a truck, although he has been doing it since he was a child. He is racing to get to Texas while apprenticing under a gay man named Jake so that he can help his daughter with moving into her dorm and to pay for her first semester of college. It is evident he feels passionately about being there for his baby girl, and might seek some redemption from the past. Dan has considered himself to be a “bigot” but still respectful enough to not wish harm upon anyone who is different or thinks differently from him. However, this trip with Jake seems to opening his eyes to thoughts and feelings he’s never thought or felt before.
This story was very well written and I loved seeing how this story grew and how Dan grew as a person as well. Sometimes it’s the things and situations we detest and refuse to accept, that we actually need to open ourselves up to to be okay with or even find our true happiness, whatever that may be. Overall, I do recommend giving this story a try if it sounds interesting to you!
Dan is a man who seems to screw up everything he touches. He spent so much time away from home trying to make money to support his wife and daughter that it caused his marriage to collapse. Not only did his marriage fail but his ex-wife thinks he is a deadbeat. He has failed to follow through with past promises to his daughter, so she has lost all faith in him. The only thing Dan has left is his rig and driving on the open road hauling freight. Or it was, up until the day he was pulled over and was caught driving without a license.
Getting caught driving without a license could not have happened at a worse time for Dan. He needs the money to pay for his daughter’s college tuition. If Dan cannot come up with the money, he risks losing his daughter forever. Dan is forced on probation and must have a co-driver with him in order to prove that he is capable of getting his commercial license. The problem is that Dan does not want to have Jake as his co-driver. He knows Jake’s dirty little secret, and he wants no part of it. Unfortunately, Dan’s boss gives him no choice and Dan must make the best of it as he tries to convince Jake to bend the rules a little bit so that he can make good on the promise he made to his daughter.
As Dan and Jake head out on the open road they get to know one another better. Dan finds that he enjoys Jake’s company a little more than he expected. In all honesty, a lot more than he expected, and it scares him as he finds himself questioning his own sexuality. Could Jake be what he has been looking for, what has been missing from his life, all this time?
This was an interesting MM romance with a big rig, hitting the open road, feel to it. As Dan and Jake hit the open road together it becomes a symbol of their freedom from the constraints of society’s beliefs, judgement, and condemnation. On the road they do not fear what others may think and are allowed the freedom to get to know one another in an open and honest manner. The characters of Jake and Dan are clearly more layered than this story allowed as it was more focused on the relationship between the two men. The author asked for feedback at the end of the book on whether readers would like to read more about Dan and Jake. This reader says, yes, I would love to read a book on each one where the story focuses solely on them, their background, past relationships, and so forth.
I personally, would read a book about Dan which goes back to his marriage to his ex-wife. What was their relationship like? In The Silent Road we know his marriage collapsed because he worked away from home so much. Were there other contributing factors that caused his marriage to fail? Was their relationship rocky to begin with? Did Dan display any signs that might explain his interest in Jake? Was he not attracted to his wife? Was there an underlying reason that kept him on the road and away from his family? A reason that he may not have realized at that time. I would love to know more about Jake as well. Was he always attracted to men? In The Silent Road we see signs of society’s disapproval over his lifestyle. Was there ever a time in his life where he felt the need to conform to society’s beliefs about who he is and hide his sexuality? Was he ever married? If so, does he have children? All in all, this was a good book and I enjoyed it. It left me wanting to learn more about the pasts of both Dan and Jake and I want to read more.

I must admit when I first started reading this book I was really unsure that I was going to like one of the main characters, Dan. His attitudes at the start really annoyed me but this creative author weaved a storyline that not only keeps you interested but shows real development in Dan. It didn’t take me long to see beneath his initial attitudes and feel for him. There is just enough steamy moments to see the bond building between Dan and Jake even if Dan wants to strongly deny it. I really enjoyed this authors writing and will definitely be keeping an eye out for more books.

3/5 Stars This was my first read by the author and it took me off guard. For some reason when I read the description I didn’t put two and two together that it was a MM romance. The writing is well done, however, this genre just isn’t something I’m interested in. I would be interested in other works of this author in different genres.

The Silent Road by S.N. McKibben was a different type of story than I would usually read. It was my first by this author and I really enjoyed it. Dan has screwed up a lot in his life and he is trying to make it better. As a long haul trucker, he has always enjoyed the road. That is until another screwup forces a codriver on him. Jake has a secret that Dan has found out about. And since he found out, he’s realized that he’s a lot more curious than he would like. I found that I read this book rather quickly. It felt a little dry at first but because you’re reading from Dans perspective, it came off as his personality. This was quite the emotional journey for the characters, I’d recommend it to others with an open mind.

The Silent Road by S.N. McKibben. This is a great m/m romance. Its about Dan who is a truck driver that has made a lot of mistakes in his past. He has a ex wife who has finally given up on him ever coming thru with his promises and a daughter who still believes in her dad but gets disappointed a lot.

Will he be truthful about his feelings for Jake? Read this great romance to find out!
This book is my first one by this author and I’m glad I took a chance on it. I think this story touched on some issues and it was written very well. This book brought out some emotional feelings. It was hard to like Dan very much in the beginning but as I read on we get to see changes and growth in him. Dan has hit a rough patch in his life with his divorce and trying to have a relationship with his daughter even though he’s gone a lot over the road and he gets pulled over without his license. He ends up having to ride with Jake because he needs to get his license to be able to ride by himself. Jake is a great guy in many ways. There is also a great dog in this story and she breaks up some of the seriousness in the book. I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend reading it. I look forward to reading more from this author.
