Betrayed by the only man she’s ever loved, Belleeza throws herself into an unusual mission to find a missing teenage boy. But the treacherous path she finds herself on could lead her closer towards the darkness than she had ever imagined—perhaps even into the depths of Hell itself.

Review:
All my readers know by now that everything angel-related is my cup of tea! I mean even more than my cup of tea, it is an addiction!! Some love vampires and werewolves (I like them too) but I LOVE Angels!!!
Of course, I could not resist Angelic Anarchy when the opportunity to review the book came to be, plus you have to admit that there is something about the cover that is really lovely and intriguing all at the same time. I mean, give me a cool cover and an even better title, there is very little or no chance at all that I will not grab the book.
I am going to tell you from the start that what I loved straight on about the book is the the main character is a female warrior angel, more often than not angels are guys but when they are women, well it is even better! Bear in mind that I harbor a never ending love for Angel of the Louisiangel series and she is a girl too!
Back to Angelic Anarchy and we meet Belleeza warrior angel of God and she gets a bit of a surprise when all of a sudden out of the blue her ex-boyfriend shows up again (he is a fallen angel now) and she is told to look for a kid.
Ha!
I will not say another word, due to the fact that well there is a lot going on surrounding the kid and I do not want to spoil it for you all.
Honestly, I was hooked from the first chapter from the moment Colton appeared (the ex!!!!) and reading Belleeza reactions well I just knew it was going to be good and I was so right!
I knew it!!
I always do!!
The book was awesome, really very nicely written and maintained a great pace. It was action packed (you all know I love those) and there was also a wonderful interaction with the characters the primary ones and those who came along the way.
There a few surprises too, and those are welcome and unwelcome at the same if you get my drift!
One thing that I was really happy about is that even if Angelic Anarchy is part of a series we ended up with a nice closing moment, I think my heart would not have taken well to a massive cliffhanger. There are a lot of things that need resolving in the following book or books but at least, I am not currently stressing about it as I would normally do thanks to the way it ended.
Fantastic book and fun read, you guys are going to love it when you grab it, and you should too!
Excerpt:
CHAPTER 1
Scalding hot water traced the scars along my back as I placed my hands against the stone shower wall. As a warrior angel I have survived several years of battle, but not unscathed. I have many battle wounds—most of which reside on my back and arms. Wounds from human weapons we tend to heal without a problem; wounds by the weapons of angels and demons are not so forgiving.
After weeks of searching for him, last night I finally caught up with the demon I had been hunting. He put up a ferocious fight and my muscles were still aching despite the heat of the shower but I would be getting briefed on my next case soon so reluctantly I reached out and turned off the faucet.
Just before I stepped out of the shower, I froze. The air changed, and I knew that I was no longer alone. Don’t ask me how I knew because I couldn’t tell you. Not really. There was no pop, or bells; no flash of light, breezes, or anything like that. It was as if there was just the slightest shift in the air. I braced for attack, reached my right hand behind my back, and unsheathed a sword that wasn’t there a moment before. My heavenly relics—my weapons—are always there when I need them and never when I don’t. Where they go when I am unarmed, I have no idea. All that matters to me is that they are there when I reach for them.
With my left foot, I kicked open the glass door and stepped out into the empty bathroom, dripping wet. Utterly naked but for my sword. I peeked around the door and slowly entered my bedroom.
“What do you want?” I said to the empty room, making my voice as calm as possible.
“Relax, Beauty, I’m completely unarmed,” said a humored voice without a face. “You’re looking just as scrumptious as the last time we faced each other.”
A dark-haired figure walked in, full of ease, and leaned against my bedroom door, crossing his feet. He had an apple from my dining-room table in his hand. I spun my sword, placing the tip of it into his throat the moment he walked through the door. He brought the apple to his mouth, rubbed it against his shirt, and took a big bite, looking as though he didn’t have a care in the world.
It was Colton.
