Book Review: The Book of Azrael (Gods & Monsters, #1) by Amber V. Nicole
SPOILER WARNING!!! A monster forged by love. A god haunted by guilt. A bond that could break the world. Amber V. Nicole’s The Book of Azrael is a haunting, slow-burn romantasy that unfolds from grim prophecy to emotional apocalypse. Though the beginning meanders through dense exposition and underwhelming stakes, patience is rewarded. Once the story narrows its focus on the entangled fates of Dianna and Liam (Samkiel), it becomes a devastatingly immersive tale of power, trauma, and the terrifying vulnerability of love.
