About the Book:
A man searches for the woman he loves. A woman fights to
survive.
survive.
As the first male Elemental, Travis is a wanted man.Women fawn all over him, both fae and Elemental alike, but he only has one
female on is mind—the woman who captured his heart when he was sure he’d lost
it. Travis is not only determined to find her, he’s willing to go through his
meddling sister, Ralya, to do it. He doesn’t care if she’s queen of the fae, if
war is brewing, or if there is a price on his head. He needs to find his mystery
woman before it’s too late—before he loses her to the Order or worse, to the
evil Valen, who has made a bargain of his own to win back his kingdom.
Emily will do anything it takes to save her son from the
Order, no matter the cost. Her heart yearns for the man who gifted her the only
joy she has in her dreary world, yet the odds she will ever see Travis again
are slim to none. Emily has a single desire: to raise her child. Love is beyond
her reach, or so she thinks. As evil draws near, Emily must guard her heart or
lose her soul to the fae who wants her to fulfill his wicked purposes.

Will Travis find Emily before she gives up, or will she fall into the hands of
his enemy and be forever out of his reach? In this gripping sequel to Elemental
Enmity, the stakes for control of Earth have been raised. Evil has taken hold
of the mortal realm and won’t relinquish it easily. The forces of Elemental and
fae must unite against the dark court if they have any chance at all of
overcoming the gloom overtaking the human realm.
My Review:
Ever since I heard of ‘Origin of Angels’ a couple of
months ago I was really interested in reading this book. The cover looked great
and the book description sounded very interesting. So when I heard I was a part
of the blog tour I was really excited.

What became obvious soon after I started reading ‘Origin
of Angels’ is, that this book is definitely not boring. Right from the very
first page there is a lot of stuff happening. This story is told through the
eyes of many different people (at least 5 different people) and you learn a lot
about the world in which this book takes place. In the beginning I even felt a
little overwhelmed. There is so much happening and because I wasn’t familiar
with a lot of names and things that happened before, I lost track of the story
a couple of times. But fortunately this story is very well written and because
of that, I always managed to get right back on track.

What I didn’t know before I started reading this book was
that there is another series by Christie Rich about this world called, the
‘Elemental Enmity’ series. I think this book will be even better when you have
read those books first. Not that you can’t read this one without reading the
other, but I think it is easier if you also read the other series. Just because
there are a lot of moments where the characters are discussing something that
happened before, and most relationships in this book have a lot of history. I
think this book would be even better to read when you’ve got all the
information.

I really did like this book. I loved reading about
Travis, and the girl he just couldn’t forget. And I also really enjoyed reading
about Queen Ralya and the decisions she had to make. It was easy to forget the
world around me when I was reading this book. Especially the last half of this
book was really exciting and I just had to keep reading.

What I found really impressive about this book, was that
Christie Rick was able to give information about a lot of different characters
without making this a very long and boring read. I really felt like I knew many
of the characters longer than just in this one book.

When you get past the point of understanding (almost)
everything about the Fae and the Elementals, this book is really great to read.
It’s fast paced, filled with action and also contains romance. This book is
definitely worth your time.

About the Author:
I grew up daydreaming about fairytales, and my love fordiscovering new worlds has never died. I am not one of those writers who always
knew I would write. I thought that was what other people did until one day, a
few years ago, I took a challenge from a friend and typed my first words. My
journey has
been wonderful, and I cannot imagine a day where I would ever give
up writing. My love for reading is what fueled my imagination in the first
place and still does. When I am not writing or reading, I enjoy family time
with my husband and two children. My family and I live in a quiet community in
Northern Utah, and I am so thankful for the rich life I have been blessed with.
