I am definitely drawn to paranormal romance stories and this one did not disappoint. I have read Angel lore before and it is one of my favourites to read. This one was an interesting (in a good way) take on that lore. The author was able to write in a way that made the reader really feel invested in the characters and empathize with them. I was very enthralled, and it kept me on my toes. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes paranormal romance but even more for those who love Angel Lore.

I love romance stories that involve the battle between good and evil, with some magic, danger, and suspense mixed in. This book did not disappoint in any of these areas! This was the first book I have read by this author, but it definitely won’t be my last. The characters were relatable despite it being a paranormal romance and the author’s way of describing the world they live in keeps the reader turning pages to see what happens. The chemistry between the main characters had me invested in the story and in their relationship. This is the first book in this series, and I am looking forward to reading the next one, as well as other books written by this author. The beautiful, vivid language in this book is a must-have for any fantasy fan.

~Romance, Intrigue, and Angles~

This is one of my absolute favorite topics, and to see it covered in such an expansive way is such a treat. This definitely isn’t what you would expect at first glance, and has so much to offer. As a reader I found myself quickly immersed into the character’s growth, being able to relate on a really personal level. I love the feeling of getting lost into a good book, and this read was no exception!

The author’s ability to build the world along side the characters is second to none. If you are a fan of angels, a love story, distraction from reality for a bit…this is an excellent choice to pick up. Plus, who doesn’t love a good paranormal romance?!

This book was enjoyable. Stories about angels falling in love are always a fun read because it allows individuals the opportunity to see angels as not that different than us. Cathy and Daedriel’s story was fun to read as we are taken on a journey of them finding each other and falling in love. I look forward to seeing more from this author.

Unlock the Angel is the first of the Seraphim Angel Order series by Calla Zae. Cathy Lu owns her own business and has decided to make expansions to here home for her business. Just coming off a breakup she decides she will work on the project herself while she is looking for a contractor. Enter Daedrial, a seraph, is on earth searching for a betrayer who just so happens to have experience in building. Daedrial offers to do the work for Cathy in exchange for her help, but doesn’t explain with what. As the two spend time together, both realize they are interested in the other. Will Daedrail’s commitment for finding the betrayer stop him from going after what he wants? Will Cathy be able to admit her feelings and pursue them? It’s worth it to find out. I absolutely loved this book. The characters are interesting and have depth. The descriptions of the worlds make you feel immersed in them yourself. I did feel there were a few things that could have had more description but I have feeling that they will probably be expanded on in the books that follow in the series. I would highly recommend reading this unique take on the Angels and their worlds.

This is the first time that I have read a book by the author and I was definitely surprised at how much I enjoyed her writing. I have been in a book slump and have been trying to find my way out of it and this book helped me along the way. The themes of the book really hit home. I felt for Cathy Lu. She was relatable and I loved to see her story play out. Then add in the sexy Angel. My oh my. This book was seriously what I needed.

An enjoyable and engaging paranormal romance and a great start to a new series. Human, Cathy Lu is concentrating on her career having been disappointed by past relationships, so she’s not looking for love. However, drawn to the magic around the August Full Moon she meets an Angel, Daedriel, who makes all her desires come true. Daedriel is a seraph, bound to blood, death, and responsibility, and so has never been in love or had a relationship, but one kiss from Cathy and he’s thinking of forever with her. Soon evil surrounds them and Daedriel has to keep Cathy safe but is that by keeping her close or keeping her far away from him and the darkness that threatens him. The storyline flows well and the plot kept me happily turning the pages. I loved Daedriel and Cathy which made me feel engaged with them and the story. Their chemistry really came across in the narrative and I was cheering them on hoping they would get their HEA.

This was a very beautifully written romantic adventure. It has all that you could possibly want from the romance genre itself. It has the strong, independent heroine that knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to go for it. Cathy Lu has been through enough of life’s hardships that she can find it difficult to trust, and that shows through her connection with Daedriel, who not only has his own demons, but fights them, or at least the darkness, too. I really enjoyed the way that the author brings to light some of Cathy’s heritage and family traditions growing up, too, certainly made me a little homesick!

Daedriel is what I would consider a brilliant yin to Cathy’s yang, as throughout the novel, their connection deepens. He is her sexy Carpenter, being there for her to improve her space and show her all that life can give to her, within the mortal world, and outside. The connection Cathy shares with this handsome seraph gives this reader hope for women everywhere, as I think it’s important to be able to balance one another. Truly, this novel kept me hooked, I enjoyed the action sequences, the curiosity it evokes, and the romance, of course, all tied in together, and I thoroughly look forward to reading the next installment in this series. Well done, certainly recommend!

Great paranormal romance, unique, nothing I have read before. I really liked the point of view alternating back and forth between Cathy and Daedriel. They are a sweet couple, Cathy really seems like a wonderful woman and this story just made me feel joy that she gets someone good like Daedriel, she deserves all the good, especially with how she helps Victor and his wife. Watching this couple fight off the dark angel agenda, first with Rask is an adventure, there are so many elements I haven’t seen before, everything blue when it comes to Daedriel, a black tourmaline that has been stolen and a dark angel agenda. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Oh I just loved this one! Being the first in a new series you could tell this was setting us up for some fun books to be had and I for one and here for it. I loved this fun and sweet, and sometimes sassy paranormal, angel lore, romance read. It had some new elements to it that I hadn’t seen before, and hey that is something we don’t see much of lately. I really only have one negative takeaway, and that is it was just so short. This book could have been longer and I would have devoured it happily as I am sure others would have. I can only hope we will have more story to look forward to in future installments!

This is an original and interesting story that is so easy to read. I connected with this book straight away, especially the characters. I thought the were written so well. They just fit together. The connection between them was engaging and easy to believe. I really wanted to read more about them.
The story had a great balance of romance and fantasy. Neither overtook the other and for me that made the story better. This is a strong start to a new series and I am excited to see what else the author has in store for us.

A very engaging romance between an seraph come to earth and an entrepreneur in New Hampshire with an affinity for the moon and her goddess. When Dae moves in next door to Cathy as a cover for fighting deadly demons, the sparks sizzle immediately upon them meeting. Despite their instant attraction, there is much that Cathy doesn’t know about about Dae. Would she believe him if he told her he was an immortal angel sent to earth to battle evil? Or would she think him crazy and run away?

The connection between these two was irresistible and engaging. I had a bit of trouble connecting to the story in the beginning, but once the relationship started to develop, I was hooked. There are some steamy sections that definitely hit their mark. Tika is a fun character that added some levity and humour to the story. A good read!

I felt for Cathy Lu and her life. My mouth watered for her moon cakes! The author made me want to jump into the story just to have some! Seeing Cathy have problems with relationships made her relatable and that is something I look for in every book I read. Daedriel had me swooning with his attempts to win over Cathy. He was genuine and absolutely drool worthy! I cant wait to read more by this author and I look forward to reading more into this world that she has created!

This is the first book in this series and is a paranormal romance. This tale is different and unique and has suspense and drama, danger, and romance. It is well-crafted and the world the author has created is magical. It is engaging and entertaining with beautiful characters that have dimension. I was drawn to them. Their connection is something to believe in. This is one of those stories that tend to stay in your mind long after you have finished it. The chemistry is off the charts in this insta love story where good and evil battle to win. I couldn’t get enough and was sad when it ended because I wanted more.
I will be reading more of this gifted author’s stories if they are all like this one.

Unlock the Angel is the first book in the Seraphim Angel Order series by Calla Zae. This is not my first read by this author and I am enjoying exploring Calla Zae’s work, as she always seems to bring something new to the table. This is a sweet and spicy paranormal romance that kept me reading well past my bedtime. It is well written with fully developed and endearing characters as well as an original take on Angel lore. This originality and the wonderful world building gave this sweet story an extra element of interest too. Add in a bit of danger, good vs evil, emotion, and some dramatic turns- made it a story that wouldn’t let me put it down. I did want to know more about the ‘world’ and the ‘Order’, but I am hoping that will come in further instalments.
Looking forward to the rest of the series now.
Happy reading!

Thank you, Calla Zae!

Once again I was drawn in by this author and her beautiful covers, and amazing synopsis. Upon starting to read this book I was blown away with the world that our author has created, and her wonderful characters. Full of twists and turns, drama, suspense, danger, romance and more I just simply couldn’t put it down. Probably the only complaint I have is that it was just too short, I really started falling in love with my favorite characters on for it to end, but I’m hoping our author will bring back our favorite characters in the next installment. But will put main characters get their happy ending or will we be left on a cliffhanger? You’ll have to read this book to find out for yourself.

This was an unexpected read for me in a wonderful way. The author was able to bring out the good vs bad, love vs hate, loyalty vs distrust among all the characters.

Our main character Cathy is a strong independent focused career woman. She has seen heartbreak first hand having her heart trampled on. She picks up the pieces after expelling brute force on a nail with a hammer. That part will make you chuckle under your breath.

Daedriel is an angel who is on earth to find Rath, a former friend turned evil betrayer. Although this book has both sides of good and evil, you are left with an overwhelming feeling of pureness and wanting to be the best you can to yourself and those you love. I felt at peace and warmly happy when I finished this book. Thank you to the author who took me on a ride of the unexpected.

I really enjoyed this paranormal romance. The author does an amazing job with the characters that you can’t help but wish they get their happy ever after. The way the author mixes the paranormal worlds with earth in a way that the story feel real only adds to the magical story.

In this book we meet Cathy and Daedriel. Cathy has been hurt in the past by losing her mother and then being deceived by her ex partner. She has shut herself off from love and believes it isn’t for her. That is until she meets Daedriel.

Daedriel is an angel. He has been sent to Earth to capture a fallen angel with power to turn the Earth into darkness. He has no plan to fall in love until he meets Cathy.
What follows is a story about good and evil and the fight to stop evil from taking over the world. The story is full of magic, Romance, and danger. It shows that true love can overcome any evil thats out there.

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. I can’t wait for the next books in the series by the author. Unlock the Angel was a fantastic read.

Cathy is a normal human and living her best life. Well, as best as it can be with a dead mother and broken heart. When she meets Daedriel she senses that something is different. Will she be okay once she knows the truth? The quote I chose for Cathy is: “Of course! I’ve never seen an angel before. From the cloud movie, I know you have impressive blue wings. I only saw one set though. You said you have six wings. Show me.”

Daedriel is an Angel and is on Earth looking for a former friend. When his bird comes home and tells him about their neighbor he gets curious. Will he be able to stop the darkness from taking over? The quote I chose for Daedriel is: “We did. You unlocked me too. I was trapped in my own world until you came along. You offered me love, and that opened my heart and solidified my purpose even more. Before you, I fought for my realm. Now, I’m fighting for you. For us. Because without you, there is no light in me.”

Highly recommended for Paranormal Romance lovers.

This book was as mesmerizing as the cover in which contained the words it spoke to me. I loved the story. There are always two paths, good and evil. How we choose to walk, defines and shapes our future. I could not get enough of this book or the characters, it was a really good read!

The story was whimsical from start to finish! I loved the story of the magical sense it brought forward. Cathy was a wonderful character, when she started to even in which she became. I was taken back by her in more than one way, also loved her tender heart and her personality. When it came to her and Dea, you did not just read their feelings or wants for one another, you felt them! It was amazing and powerful all on one. As the story pressed on, more came to light. I was hooked and was sad when I had concluded it I did not want to say good bye just yet. I will say hello though to the next installment!

Loved this wonderful and beautiful book. I was so taken by the book and the words it held. The writing was amazing and very addictive to say the least. I very much enjoyed reading and getting to meet these new characters. I do highly recommend this author and book, for sure is a must read!

Oh my goodness, this book has just been added to my favorites of the year (and it’s only February). If this is any indicator, it’s going to be a fun year. Dea and Cathy’s story was a challenge from the start. He’s here hunting bad evil and gets a wee bit distracted by her. She’s getting over a bad romance and grieving her mom’s death. With moon vibrations and Tika, Dea’s best friend, they might get through this. Rask tries to throw a few twists but these two have chemistry and a pull two each other. The plot is fantastic. You feel it all in the writing. And the descriptions….if only Dea could have popped out my Kindle. I loved every minute of it. Not a dull part to the story. The characters are very bit as relatable as the person standing next to you. I can’t wait to read book 2. Get out there and read this one. Guarantee you’ll have a good time and smile. I’d give it more than a 5 if I could.

This the first book in this series for this author. It is a paranormal romance story that is a shorter story but packs a punch. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by her yet. This is a well written story that kept me turning pages to the end. The characters are connectable, unique and strong. They are supportive of each other and had great growth throughout the story. This is a story about Cathy Lu. She has not the best of relationships and she puts everything into her career. What happens when the August Full Moon comes out and changes her into a beautiful angel, magical. Will one kiss change her feelings on relationships? What will fate have in store for her? Safety or darkness. You will want to see what happens next with Cathy Lu. She is such a great character that truly made the story for me. This is a story that has great chemistry and is hard to put down. I highly recommend this book.
