review 1: I admire JM Darhower's unconventional way of thinking and writing. I have not read a story written by her that I have not LOVED. Each story crosses those fine boundaries that society puts in place. Not everyone is tempted by selfishness. The theme of this story is Temptation. A word with many thoughts and meanings. Opinions and emotions will be evoked from you. Learn to question everything. Not everything you were taught or told can be the truth. Maybe God putting the forbidden tree in the garden for the humans was his test and Lucifer should not be punished for tempting the human that God created. God should be questioned for putting the tree there to begin with. Maybe Lucifers purpose in life was to control the chaos and anarchy of the humans. Without a King to control H... moreell then they are free to destroy Earth.Savior. Serah is the temptation that might save Lucifer from leashing Hell upon Earth. Serah has that ever lasting love that never fades. No matter wher she is or who she is love will always follow her. Love is your chosen destiny. Love is powerful and with power you can set people free.
review 2: Honestly, reading fantasy/paranormal novels isn't really my thing... I've only read two paranormal series---Twilight by Stephenie Meyer & Crossroads by Mary Ting... and this would only be my third time. I have nothing against the genre' its just that, for me this genre' is already too "unrealistic" as opposed to reading about angsty rockstars, billionaire playboys or reformed tattooed badboys. ehh... I hope I made sense. Anyway.......I was just browsing through Amazon when this book appeared as one of the suggestions below while one-clicking on one of the author's books... I read the blurb of the first book of the series—Extinguish, got curious, gave in & got hooked (Extinguish & Reignite).Despite my warriness, I decided to go ahead with Extinguish, out of the hundreds of books in my TBR shelf, (others are even there for years, still unread coz I just couldn't keep up...a certified bookjunkie can relate) and let me tell ya, the moment I started on the first page I couldn't part with the book... as I went along on my reading, the story just keeps on gaining momentum... One cant help but crave to know whats going to happen to the characters in the next page.There's just something about reading a story with forbidden relationships, love triangles, grand gestures, self-sacrifices, etc.. Its probably coz most of us are wired from middle-school about the tragic Shakespearean story of star-crossed lovers —Romeo and Juliet... only in this case, we have Lucifer--who needs no further introductions, and an angel named Serah.I mean of course I believe in God and have read the bible a couple of times, but sometimes I cant help wondering about some of these lingering questions in my mind of what or how things were which science cant fully explain...What made me stay glued to this story is the author's take on these familiar biblical characters and giving their roles a unique twist; that reading this only reaffirmed what I've always known-—that LOVE really is the greatest commandment of all; that in this book, Lucifer wasn't as evil as what we make him out to be...that angels, in a way, are also like mortals and aren't infallible... I must say I wasn't able to hold back my tears in that first book where Luce came undone... I mean for someone like him to be brought down on his knees just because he loved someone so passionately... (Sigh.....)To say that I friggin love this book is an understatement! I loved it more than Twilight (no offense). If I didn't, I wouldn't have wasted precious reading time gushing over it. It was written in a way that a normal person, who doesn't really read books would understand and would be able to imagine the scenes in their mind quite vividly.I would've wanted to read more about Luce & Serah's reunion... sorta like a longer epilogue. I cant help it, I felt like the ending is....I dont know, short? or hanging? Maybe there's a novella in the future?For those who are looking for inspiration...or simply looking for a romantic paranormal read, this is the book for you... It will definitely broaden your understanding about Heaven and Hell, about Angels and Devils...and about finding your one True Love. less
