Publisher's summary

Between the pissed off creatures that want demon-hunter Lily Marks dead and the fallen angel who just.... wants her, Lily is about ready to trade forever for a comfy job in a cubicle farm. The fact that she and Julian are civil to one another is enough to have her thrown out of the Sanctuary, but she can't shake her not-so-angelic stalker or how he brings her dangerously close to ecstasy.

Her forbidden relationship with Julian provides the perfect fuel for suspicion when a traitor is discovered to be working within the Sanctuary. Lily quickly finds herself hunted by well, everyone. Her only hope is to discover the real traitor before she loses everything - and she'll need Julian's help. That is, if Julian is really there to help her - and not destroy her.

Yeah, being a Nephilim isn't everything it's cracked up to be.

Gimme My Microscope... There must be a story here somewhere

I wanted to like this book. I kept trying. I put it down (proverbially after all this is an audiobook) and would come back thinking I must have made a mistake. Nope.

There is an outlying set up and I got all excited and then wham! All that happens is guilt sex. Over and over and over....
There was a lot of 'his member" and other such euphemisms. What happened to the story I wanted to hear about this special demon killer?

would love for this to become a series...

There are so many places this could go as a series. I really liked this book and would love to hear Michaels story finished out.

Very good beginning to a series

Story was good, kept me interested, not predictable. Look forward to the next book. Julian is the thing dreams are made of!

Unchained

I really enjoyed Unchained. Lily is a fierce, badass character. I love seeing how she changed and accepted Julian throughout this book. She was able to see him for who he is instead of what. I love Juilan and all that he did and was willing to do for Lily. This is a action filled, spicy paranormal romance. The ending was a suprise. I would love more from this world. Stephanie Bentley did a good job with each of the characters.

Why isn't there more?!

There's only one book in this series and I'm seriously bummed about this! The author needs to come back to this series! Fallen angels and nephilim? Forbidden romance? I was sucked in immediately!

*pout* Here's to hoping the series isn't dead. I rated 4 stars instead of 5 simply because there hasn't been a book added to this series in YEARS! Like 8 years!

Great start to a possible series

It appears this is the only book written in the Nephilim Rising series, sadly. It is a very well written fallen angel based story with fully developed characters and emotional relationships. Truly a gifted romance novelist.

Bad narrator. Couldn't finish book

The narrator used this breathy, sexy voice for almost everything; normal conversation, whispers, male voices, female voices etc. Since she stopped sometimes I assume it was on purpose.
Couldn't finish the audiobook because of it, but I liked what I managed to get through.

Narration not suited to book

With a cast predominantly of men, using a woman's voice was all wrong. her 'voices' sounded like computer generated voices - zero range so I struggled to distinguish each character and had to increase narration speed to keep going.
The story was good but the narration made it hard to finish the book. Disappointing...

Easy listen

Definitely worth a listen!
I quite enjoyed it and couldn't put it down. Nice few twist keep you engaged. Looking forward to the next book.

Only bad point for me is the narrators voices for the male characters, as they all sounded very similar.

Enjoyable

I enjoyed the story, and the performance of the narrator wasn’t bad. It kept me entertained for several hours. However, the story doesn’t feel complete and it is as if there should be a second book. It is complete enough though, so I don’t feel the need to listen to a second book, if there was one. I thought there was too much fighting and training descriptions that felt like page fluff. That said, I still enjoyed the story and definitely worth a listen.

Awful narration

Could hardly get into the first chapter - the voiceover was terrible - so breathy and with false crescendos I couldn’t bear to listen any more.

Narrator ruined it for me!

This could have been so much better but unfortunately there was no emotion in the narrators tone and made listening to it a chore.

JLA as always love your writing ✍ ❤,

such a pity the narrator made the lead male character sound like an automated lunch box! Jen's early works don't have the grand world building of her most recent works yet the story, characters, live/sex oo la la 🤯 are great. An easy sexualising fun listen while driving 🚗! Really great
