The Angel Trials is a seven-book series by USA Best-Selling author, Michelle Madow. The series is part of the Dark World universe. The book titles are The Angel Trials, The Angel Hunt, The Angel Trap, The Angel Gift, The Angel Island, The Angel Secret, and The Angel Test.
Below is a description from Goodreads:
Raven Danvers is a typical student… until a demon attacks her on the night of her birthday. Luckily, she’s saved by Noah—a mysterious, sexy wolf shifter who appears and disappears before she can ask him any questions.
Then Raven's mom is abducted by the same demon who came after her. And who turns up at the scene of the crime again? Noah. He’s hunting the demons who are taking humans, and he’s ultimately heading where Raven needs to go to save her mom—the mystical island of Avalon.
Now Raven’s joining Noah’s demon hunting mission whether he wants her there or not. Which he doesn't. But nothing stops Raven, so she and Noah will have to learn to work together—if they don’t kill each other first.
More importantly, she has to survive his crazy demon hunt. Because surviving is the only way to get to Avalon and save her mom’s life.
Raven Danvers is your typical college student until she is attacked by a demon on her 21st birthday. She is rescued by Noah, a werewolf shapeshifter, who is seeking as a form of redemption from the catastrophic events that unfolded in the finale of the Vampire Wish series. Demons have been released from their prison in the Underworld. A greater demon, Azazel, is dead set on ruling the world. Noah is on a hunting mission to kill 10 demons so that he can enter the enchanted Avalon and join the Earth Angel's army--nephilim soldiers chosen to fight evil. When Raven's mother vanishes, Raven must set aside her normal life and put her trust into the wolf shapeshifter. They are joined by other powerful characters, Sage Montgomery (sister of the alpha of the Montgomery pack in Los Angeles, CA) and Thomas Bettencourt (vampire prince based in Chicago), on their journey to Avalon. Together, the team will encounter numerous challenges that will test their resolve and unlock their deepest feelings for each other.
I liked how the seven-novel series build upon each other and expands the spectrum on the different species in the Dark World Universe. Vampire Wish focused primarily on vampires and witches. The Angel Trials focused primarily on werewolves and nephilim (category of angels). Raven's character grew on me as I adored her dogged determination that allowed her to survive and rescue her mother. As a result, she undergoes a major transformation on this mission that awakens her warrior spirit. Reoccurring characters from the Vampire Wish series also make cameo appearances in The Angel Trials; thus, I recommend new readers to start from the beginning. I also loved Sage and Thomas' side story, which got me hooked (Team Sage-Thomas!). Madow also incorporates some medieval legends in the storyline that will excite fans. If you enjoy fairy tales and urban fantasy with a dramatic twist, I highly recommend this series.
Stay tuned for my next review on the third spin-off series, The Dark World: The Faerie Games. This series will take a deep dive into the mythological realm of the fae.
