Welcome
to Maureen’s Books Wednesday’s Favorites. In the Wednesday’s Favorites
post I will talk about a book I loved and that I think deserves a
little more attention. I read popular books, but also many books that
aren’t so popular (yet). In this post all sorts of books from all sorts
of genre’s will have a chance to shine. Today’s Wednesday’s Favorites
is ‘Origin of Angels’ by Christie Rich, a book I read in January 2015. 

The Book:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23109529-origin-of-angels
A man searches for the woman he loves. A woman fights to
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.

Praise for ‘Origin of Angels’:

This book was
exciting, enchanting, unique, and I was completely immersed in the plot.
Now I haven’t read
any of Christie’s books before but this was a really good read and she has a
whole other Elemental series called Elemental Enmity which I will be adding to
my reading list too!
This book has
completely drawn me into the story of the Elementals. Like so many others, I
wish I had read the previous series, but now I am off to fix that! I cannot
wait to read the second book in the series. I NEED to know the story. I love
the characters and want to see how things progress. I highly recommend this
book!
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.

About the Author:

I grew up daydreaming about fairytales, and my love for
discovering 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.
