The word angel comes from the Greek word. It means messenger that also matches the Hebrew word Malaak. They can bring messages to us from a universal source because they’re closer to that vibration. According to the religious view, Angels are spiritual beings. They are made of pure light or pure energy, and they are the intermediate or energy between God herself and humankind.
So if you think about that, that means we are a manifestation of God, and we are part of God. So angels are not or have never been incarnated in a physical aspect. They have never been physical either on Earth or any other physical realm. They have always been and will always be this pure light or energy, but they are a different vibrational frequency.
Every spiritual entity or non-physical entity has some purpose or plan for being created because if they didn’t have a purpose, they would not have been created. They would have stayed with universal source or God herself. So when you come in contact with an angel, it’s important to use your discernment to understand to make sure that they’re coming for your highest good and your benefit. You can’t experience one of these light beings that may not have such a positive purpose for you.
Angels and Demons are the perfect characters in the paranormal or dark fantasy genre. The historical set and religious perspective make this genre more beautiful and exciting. This article is for you if you like the angel romance and the demons.

3. Angel Fall
This is a post-apocalyptic angel romance book, so the end of the world has come. Angels have come to Earth, and there’s an apocalypse. Humans are killing each other for the remainder of the food. Our main character’s name is Penryn. She has a schizophrenic mother and a paraplegic sister. She’s trying to keep them alive.
So Penryn constantly hunts for food and on one of their excursions to look for food. They come across a fight of angels. One of the angels gets attacked. He gets his wings ripped out, and in the process, Penryn’s little sister is also taken away. So Penryn decides to join forces with this fallen angel to save her sister, and in the process, he can get his wings back. The story goes on from there.
This book gives it more of a sci-fi twist. It is taking place in our modern world. The angels have only been here for a little over a month, and the world has already descended into chaos when they are here. There is a lot of messing with science, even from the angels. The take on the angels, folklore and even the biblical aspects touched upon were innovative.

4. Unearthly
It is the first book in Unearthly trilogy. The second one is Hallowed, and then the third one is Boundless. So this series tells the story of Clara Gardner, a part angel. She is given this purpose, which is her task and life that she is put on this Earth to do. It’s the story of her trying to fulfill her purpose and working towards it.
The romance part is good, but the love triangle story is predictable and usual. The characters were pretty good, but I wasn’t thrilled by it. The second one went a little bit downhill. It also took an unexpected turn, but that one was normal. Overall, I would say that these books are cliche. They’re enjoyable. But if you’re looking for something epic and completely different, they’re not the books for you.

6. Inescapable (The Premonition)
Inescapable is a mysterious book with lots of twists and turns in it. Amy Bartol played out the plotline of this book greatly. The main character is Evie Claremont, who’s a half-angel. She seemed a little kiddish and vulnerable and did not know what to do. So, her character switches between two different personas very often in this book. She started as one of the severe downfalls, and Russel was in his accent.
Russel is from the South, so he has a very southern drawl. To emphasize his southern accent, Amy wrote how we would speak the words on the page. There were many abbreviated words that I found hard to read, and it made me not like the character of Russel. There was also a very prominent love triangle in the story, which was very good.

7. Daughter of Smoke & Bone
This book can be broken down by plot characters, a world-building magic system, and a small discussion at the end. The story follows Karou, who is a super aggressive teenager. She has blue hair tattoos, and she’s living in Prague. Here she works for the Chimaeras. Chimaeras are the demons in this story, and she goes on missions by her father figure to collect teeth from granting different wishes. There’s a whole currency system of the wishes related to the magic system.
So one day, Karou ends up bumping into an angel, which is the enemy to the Chimaera. His name is Akiva. They build this relationship, and it goes from there. It is a Romeo and Juliet retelling, which was such a fun read. This book focuses a lot on the Chimaera and all of their mythology. The world-building in this book is phenomenal, and I enjoyed it so much.

8. Personal Demons
The book is about Frannie, in high school, and Gabriel and Lucifer. Gabriel and Lucifer are fighting to tag Frannie’s soul for heaven. So that’s the premise of the book. When you get into the book, there’s a love triangle in a way because she’s attracted to Lucifer. Then she’s attracted to Gabriel but for two different reasons.
This book is pretty fast-paced, and it’s a three-part series. If you are a highly religious person, I would not suggest this book because you might find every little thing wrong with it. The author glamorized Lucifer in any way because she made Lucifer a very popular hero. But he’s a demon from a religious point of view.
