Esta es una historia real que nunca debió ocurrir. Este es el retrato de un mundo que nos acecha de nuevo. La vida de una mujer que concentra la emoción de todo un siglo.La nueva novela de Celia Santos cuenta la vida de Teresa Alonso, una «niña de Rusia» refugiada durante la Guerra Civil en un país ajeno, en el que el frío, la soledad, la esperanza del amor y la Segunda Guerral Mundial le mancarán para siempre.
1937. Mientras los aviones se abalanzaban sobre Guernica, Teresa Alonso miraba las bombas caer desde una colina cercana y, con solo doce años, supo que la vida que había conocido se enterraba bajo los escombros. Fue entonces cuando su madre decidió que partiera hacia a la URSS, donde los hijos de republicanos españoles se refugiaron durante la Guerra Civil. Esta novela cuenta la historia de la juventud de Teresa, de los personajes que conoció -los más importantes de la izquierda europea- y de su sed de pasión y libertad, algo que en ningún momento ha dejado atrás. Pero también es el relato de la guerra que oscureció el continente y de un amor que, cuando todo se desplomaba, fue capaz de sostener su universo. Celia Santos nos traslada a una Rusia ya extinta, a través de los recuerdos actuales de Teresa Alonso. Así, este emocionante libro exquisitamente documentado, se convierte también en un homenaje a la última generación que ha vivido la época que marcó, como ninguna otra, la historia de la humanidad. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION This is a real story that never should have happened. It is the tale of a world that haunts us yet again. A woman's life containing the emotions of an entire century. Celia Santos' new novel recounts the life of Teresa Alonso, a "girl from Russia" during the Spanish Civil War, hiding in a faraway country where loneliness and the cold, the hope for love and the Second World War will mark her forever. 1937. While airplanes swoop in at Guernica, Teresa Alonso watches the bombs fall from a nearby hill, and at just twelve years of age, she knows the life she once knew lays buried under the rubble. It is then her mother decides to send her to the USSR, where the children of Spanish republicans take refuge during the Civil War. This novel tells the story of Teresa's youth, of the people she met--the most relevant characters in the European left-wing--and of her thirst for passion and freedom, something she has never lost, even for a moment. But it is also the tale of a war that darkened the continent, and of a love that was able to hold her entire universe when everything came crashing down. Through Teresa Alonso's current memories, Celia Santos takes us to a Russia now extinct. This thrilling book, exquisitely documented, turns then into a tribute to the last generation of people who lived at a time that marked the history of humanity like no other.

Angels and the Fallen — Breathtaking Start
Format: Kindle
This book was EVERYTHING I expected it to be and more. Leave to R.L. Caulder and M. Sinclair to give us yet another amazing book!
Kieran and her guys hooked me from the very beginning and did not let go. Found family is one of my favorite tropes and it was done so well in this book. Couple that along with an FMC trying to find her place in the world and I was practically drooling over this book. The world building, the conflict, the wyverin sidekick — it all was done so well that it felt fresh and real.
Each love interest felt real and unique in their own ways. I felt connected to each one and like they were truly different people. I love that so much in a book and these two authors never miss with their love interests.
Multi POV, Reverse harem, who did this to you, and a magical world highlighting the angels and the fallen. This book has everything and it does it so well.
Big thank you to R.L. Caulder and M. Sinclair for the arc copy! I cannot wait for book 2!

A new take 🤔
Format: Kindle
I’m not going to go into what this book is about — by now you e already read the synopsis and have an idea — but I will give a couple of insights.
Definitely a different take on angels and their fall; I like it. This is an interesting start to a new series - YES, this does end on a cliffhanger so be prepared for that. I’m eager for the next book (and hopefully the last in this series — sometimes the author(s) will switch it up depending on how the story flows for them) in this series.
I’m hoping that a certain male character redeems himself because he’s a dick that will make the meaning of mixed signals jealous lol.
You ever watch that old movie — I think it’s call Mommy Dearest? — yea, let’s switch that up to daddy. That man would make a perfect husband to mommy dearest.
I recommend this book because while these authors are well known for their cliffhangers, they are also well known for putting out good stories.

Liked it
Format: Kindle
I liked the worlds and the characters. The prophesy is confusing in that I would think, since all worlds ore on a path to destruction, the angels would want their world to be saved. I am sure there is more evil that will be revealed as the series proceeds. I dislike a prolonged “poor little me” trope and the main character has moved past that, thankfully, and began to show a fierce attitude as the novel progressed. The last portion of the novel had some great action. It’s worth reading, just be patient with a slow start.

Fallen Angels, fae, vampires, oh my!

Rating: 4.5 | Spice: 2 (but a good slow-burn)

Main Characters: Huntyr and Wolf
•
I couldn’t wait to read this book; there was so much hype about it! And there was no doubt why. I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. This book is mainly plot driven more than friction driven but it’s easy to follow along with. The characters are fun, easily understood. The main setting is at an academy where both the main characters are going through trials and building strength for the final test, The Transcendent. There are fantastic side characters as well. I loved the camaraderie between Huntyr and her friends. But we don’t like Lanson. 😆
We do have some plot twists that come into play throughout the book. Secrets and betrayal to be seen. I did adore Wolf and Huntyr’s relationship. It was a classic slow burn trope. They didn’t hit it off fast, but in time their feelings grew. I loved their banter, so sexy. Wolf is your next book boyfriend; Huntyr is your next vampire assassin independent bad-a*s female. Themes include loyalty, trust, self-discovery, a true slow burn romance. Side note: book ends on a angsty cliffhanger!

“My heart bows to you and you only, Huntress.”
Format: Kindle
3.5 🌟
This book popped up in my KU recommended reading suggestions and the synopsis sounded like what I was in the mood for. I'm so glad I took a chance on it. I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about it and ended up really liking it. I love when this happens.
The main characters are likeable and I easily found myself rooting for them. There is a mystery element to each of their backstories that I enjoyed watching unfold and can't wait to get more of. Wolf, in particular, has me fixated. Love him.
I found this to be an entertaining, addictive read with a plot that moves along at a good pace. It reads so easily I found myself very reluctant to put it down. Lots of twists and turns and the angst is there. A good set up for the next book to come, for sure.
My issues with this book....the dialogue feels a bit juvenile at times and there is a repetitive over use of a particular word phrasing that I found myself giving the ole eye-roll to. There are, without a doubt, some pretty cliche moments that gave me a bit of the cringe. I think this could've certainly 100% benefited from more depth regarding the world building. Perhaps the world building was sacrificed to keep the pacing quick? Just a guess. Also, the lack of consistency of character for the FMC was really evident and so she feels quite illogical at times.
Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable read that hit the spot well enough for me. That ending certainly has me impatiently pining for book 2!
