| Nephilim Rising Book 1 |
Between the pissed off creatures that want demon-hunter Lily Marks dead and the fallen angel who just...wants her, Lily is about ready to trade in forever for a comfy job in a cubicle farm.
The fact that she and Julian are civil to one another is enough to have her thrown out of the Sanctuary, but she can't shake her not-so-angelic stalker or how he brings her dangerously close to ecstasy.
Her forbidden relationship with Julian provides the perfect fuel for suspicion when a traitor is discovered to be working within the Sanctuary. Lily quickly finds herself hunted by well, everyone.
Her only hope is to discover the real traitor before she loses everything--and she'll need Julian's help. That is, if Julian is really there to help her...and not destroy her.
Yeah, being a Nephilim isn't everything it's cracked up to be.

My Review: 5/5 Stars
My first comment, and a very important one at that, is why oh why is there only one book!?!? Released in 2013 and the story has not continued and boy does it need to! When it comes to paranormal Armentrout is queen. Her Lux, Dark Elements, Wicked, Sentinel, and Titan, to name a few (if not all of them), are all crazy awesome when it comes to diving into the paranormal and mythologies and Unchained is right there with them. And oh how I wish there were more to this series! Maybe one day she will continue, because hey it says Nephilim Rising book 1, clearly the story isn't over and by that ending, there are a lot more questions that need to be answered!
Unchained is a great paranormal new adult romance that turns its mythology toward fallen angels and the nephilim. The world Armentrout has built around them is pretty cool, filled with kick ass warriors, dangerous enemies, and a swoon worthy (Julian) fallen angel. Lily is a strong female character who is the best at what she does. Her job is to hunt down demons created bad the fallen angels who are stirring trouble. However, when the place she calls home has a traitor in there midst, she is determined to find out who it is. Especially when fingers are pointing at her. Though Julian is a Fallen, he has never harmed Lily. He has saved Lily's life before and he won't stop now. Though Lily tries to deny their connection, her defenses don't last long. Because she sees Julian for who he is and not what she has been told by those who taught her about the Nephilim. And Julian sees her as well. To one another, they are Lily and Julian. Not enemies. Not Nephilim. Not Fallen. Another couple of Armentrout's that you can't help loving! Lily knows in her heart that Julian is different and together they must prove who the real traitor is.
Michael is another key character who discovers that he is actually a Nephilim though how no one has found him until now, is one mystery that needs to be solved. There are multiple plot lines going on which makes the story super interesting and why I believe there needs to be more. Great book. Will be crossing my fingers that one day it will continue!
