Michael and Claudia’s decision to move back to Crossroads was to keep their children safe, but they can’t escape who they are. Their children, Zachary and Lucia, were destined to be demon hunters—Venators. From the age they were able to hold a sword, they were trained to become the best and to ensure they would become leaders one day. 

All is peaceful throughout the land until the Fallen and demons’ presences were felt in the between and on Earth. As the Venators investigate these locations, they will quickly learn how dangerous their lives are. Hearts will be broken. Teammates will lose their lives. And they will face obstacles which will test their faith. 

As danger grows, the fear of fallen angels and demons regrouping has the Divine Elders on pins and needles. Now, Zachary and Lucia, along with Uncle Davin, must prepare themselves—mentally and physically—to live on Earth to investigate where the focal point of evil resides before it’s too late.

MY REVIEW

DISCLAIMER: This review MAY contain spoilers. 

I decided to reread this prequel and the first two books of this series to catch up and refresh my memory of events so that I can read the last book. I remember that I really enjoyed this series. Especially the characters. Rereading this did rekindle my love for the characters. I love the sense of family that the main characters have. They have good chemistry, though I have to admit that sometimes the dialogue seemed unpolished and forced. That aside, I still enjoyed rereading this and I do feel excited to start the next book in the series. This series is a spin-off of the Crossroads series by the same author. There were many references to events in that series, but I was still able to follow along without having read the Crossroads series. I think that I would have preferred to read Crossroads first though. It would have made the characters more special. Another thing that I like about this series is the premise behind it. I do enjoy paranormal stories and I like this take on the angels and demons trope. Overall, my reread did result in a lower rating than the first time I read it going from 5 stars to 4 stars. I think that I am just a little more picky with my books these days. I am looking forward to rereading the next two books and finishing the last book!

My original review is here.
