Description
Enter Laramie.
Angel Laramie is given emotions as a trial to decide once and for all if angels are ready to feel again. However, she soon becomes sidetracked by an infatuation with a human, prompting her to neglect her orders and allow her mission to fail. She returns to her superiors in hopes of helping the human only to learn her feelings were a test. Her failure means her banishment to Earth until she fades away forever.
In exile, Laramie is confronted by Lucifer with a confounding revelation that changes everything Laramie has ever known as an angel. Lucifer presents an offer of eventual immortality in exchange for Laramie's ceaseless fidelity. When Laramie declines, Lucifer lashes out by tormenting her innocent human as punishment for Laramie's refusal. Laramie must now do everything in her power to save her human and prevent Lucifer from realizing his goals, even if it means reaching oblivion sooner.

2.5 stars I did not really like the characters. Magda had no real personality or personality development, because I felt like her whole personality was just her problems and mental illnesses, that increased throughout the book more and more. And the other characters died all. Laramie was okay, but I did not really get to know her personality, too, because she rarely ever talked or revealed something about herself. Her whole personality was just about loving Magda. Also I didn't understand why Laramie was so much in love with Madga, although they never talked. All in all I hated the relationships of all the people, because I could not really see the strong bonds between characters (except maybe Magda and Oscar), because they were all dying so fast. But a good point about this book was that it was easy to read and it did not get boring or there weren't unnecessary long chapters. I also like the idea and the worldbulding. And I like the representation of lgbtq. Magda and Laramie are both queer and I really loved it that God/Az was using they/them pronouns. And all in all the story was okay, I guess. I did not like that so many people were killed just like that without a real reason and just because Lucifer wanted to hurt Magda. It was a little bit unnecassary. But yeah.. idk if I'll read the next book. I am curious somehow and I just hope that it gets maybe better and the characters get more depths, but I am scared that I'll just get dissapointed.
