The Archangel Michael is tired. He fought wars and shoved his brother Lucifer out of heaven all before the Dark Ages rolled around. His role as protector of Israel now encompasses all of humanity, and while he performs his job perfectly, there's little personal joy in it.Until one night in a bar when he meets Asher. Michael isn¿t sure what it is about the vulnerable, self-deprecating Asher that calls to him, but something about his restrained depths, gentle smiles, and encyclopedic knowledge of flowers tugs at Michael in a way that can¿t be denied. Too bad romance isn¿t part of his mission.Facing an eternity of perfect submission to God¿s authority, rebellion stirs in Michael. Questions of free will, angelic vocation, and the role of love and lust demand answers that just might cost Michael his place in heaven. Warnings: this novella contains urban fantasy, wings, angels doing unangelic things, erotic content, and playful blasphemy.Word Count: 25,000… (lisätietoja)

I received a copy of this book via IndiGo Marketing and Design in exchange for an honest review

Wow. This was a short book, but it gave me all the feels as I was reading it. Michael, the archangel, is sent to earth for his job of helping the souls God assigns him. When he comes down, he finds Asher and is immediately drawn to him. The more they spend time together, Micheal starts to question what it would be like to stay with him, and how it could work. I loved how Ms. Blake really explored the struggle that Michael was having between his feelings for Asher and his calling with God. It was very touching and very well written. There were some great physical scenes with Asher, but most of the story revolved around Micheal and his struggle. I was a bit bummed about one thing that happened near the end, but I was able to overlook it because there was a happy ending and an HEA. I really liked this. ( )

Angels fascinate me, and though we don’t know how Heaven works - if it even exists – there is a high number of interpretations of how it might be run. The world and logic that Leta Blake creates in ‘Angel Undone’ has many familiar elements, but the unique combination of characters, their attitudes, and the central conflict Archangel Michael faces were interesting and both entertaining and thought-provoking.

Michael is a conflicted angel. He has done his bit fighting wars and protecting Heaven against revolution for many centuries. He is loyal to his father and does his best to fulfill his various missions of salvation. Then he runs into Asher, his newest assignment, and everything changes. Michael is supposed to show Asher that loving men is okay, thus avoiding Asher becoming depressed or worse. But there is something in Asher that calls to Michael on a primal level, and he begins to consider breaking the rules so he can stay with Asher. Love is, after all, one of the driving forces of the universe and something very much encouraged by the God of this author’s world.

Michael’ conflict is heartbreaking. He wants to be the “good angel”, the “loyal servant” of the heavenly father, but he has also spoken to Lucifer – who runs a surfing equipment shop – and discovered that being Fallen isn’t as bad as rumors make everyone believe. The whole discussion of perfect submission to God versus free will, the consequences of choosing a different path, and the decision-making process is fascinating. The final confrontation between Michael and God himself is well written, unexpected, and paints a very modern picture of the whole divine situation.

If you like angels who appear in a very modern light, if you believe in free will – no matter what the consequences, and if you’re looking for a read that challenges “accepted wisdom” and might just make you smile, and possibly laugh out loud, then you will probably like this novella.
