The series premise is based upon the biblical tale of Lucifer's fall. Evidently, you have three "pure-breds" - angels, demons, and nosferatu. The angels stayed true to God, the demons sided with the Morningstar/Lucifer, and the nosferatu wouldn't choose sides but hid until the war was over, and so were cursed. From these, you have many other varieties of things that go bump in the night. One of the problems with angels trying to protect humans was that they weren't human enough - mankind looked on them almost as gods. So, a corps of Guardians was formed. The book starts out in like 1217 or something, with Hugh and Lilith. Another reviewer griped that the author spent the first half of the book writing a prologue, but honestly, I don't see it that way. Yeah, it is a prologue, but IMO it made the book better by being so detailed. You get to see the history between Hugh and Lilith, and you also get to see 800 years of sexual tension. But, like any good film, Ms. Brook moves quickly through the "set-up" stage and onto the "main" story. I just don't think the book would have been as powerful had she done it any other way. I remember thinking the other night "Man, when these guys finally give in and admit how they feel, it's going to be explosive." I was right. Anyway, I'll just wrap up by saying that they have one itty-bitty problem. Hugh's a guardian. And Lilith? Let's just say that she calls Lucifer "Daddy" ;-) Review: Talk About Your Complicated Relationships - Eight hundred years ago a seventeen year old man - and seventeen WAS a man back then - met a woman...considerably older than he. He was captivated by her. She was intrigued by him. Damned by a combination of his integrity and raging fever for her, events are set into motion that led to his death. Her frantic unwillingness to let him go led to his ascension from human to Guardian. He is Hugh, formerly human, now a warrior for Above, walking the earth and ridding it of the darkness that are the creatures of Below. Like demons. Like the woman who damned him, then saved him. Lilith. For eight hundred years they dance to a wicked tune, he intent on saving her, she certain she can't be saved. Both craving each other, dedicated to each other in a way that they aren't to their respective callings. Hugh's side, Above, has been tolerant of his inability and unwillingness to kill Lilith for all of his years of service, but Lilith is Lucifer's daughter... ...and Daddy's pissed. Two people in impossible positions, unable to be together, incapable of being apart...and a whole lot of baggage on both sides. Not to mention the relatives. Then there is the war Below between Belial and Lucifer, the Nosferatu killing vampires and performing heinous rituals, and the Guardians Ascending Above en mass. For Hugh and Lilith, finding any sort of happiness is going to be hell...literally. With extremely intelligent writing that creates and supports a complex and layered plot, with complicated and conflicted characters and a wealth of breathtaking world building, with unparalleled originality and imagination, Brook has taken a swipe at the paranormal romance genre, gripped it by its throat, and choked it until it begged for mercy. There are so many twists and turns, Machiavellian schemes and insidious conflicts, power struggles, bargains and lies, such a desperate struggle for survival and redemption, for peace, for love, that I was often in awe of the power of it all. Demon Angel is a strong, moving, sweeping masterpiece with nearly unlimited scope and import. It's told with a delicate attention to detail and grace that forces the reader to connect with the characters and experience with them the full spectrum of emotion - despair and hope, resignation, fear, love, lust, fury, failure and triumph. It's not always comfortable, it's never easy, but it is at turns breathtaking and tragic, fulfilling and broken. My only complaint...not that I would call it that, exactly...is that at times there was SO much going on and so very many conflicting machinations and motivations and deals with the devil that I felt the plot got a little muddy, and the pacing of the narrative slowed when that happened. This is a book that has everything but the kitchen sink in it as far as plots go, and perhaps it could have been a bit more tightly paced if it had been a bit LESS encompassing, with a few less twists and turns. I hesitate to suggest that, because perhaps that would have robbed the book of the very traits that make it stand out so dramatically. I can't deny, however, that there were a few times that I struggled with the narrative, most notably during quick scene changes and abrupt plot developments, where I had to either reread a section or wait to have something explained further along. It disturbed the flow for me a bit. That being said, I truly enjoyed Demon Angel and loved both Hugh and Lilith. I've not often read characters as layered, flawed, and endearing for all their faults. I was captivated by their long, torturous, and occasionally heartbreaking journey and thrilled to be along for the ride. As a start of a series, Brook has hit with gangbusters, and I look forward with rabid enthusiasm to continuing The Guardians series with Demon Moon .

Whatever it is about Meljean Brook that makes her write this series, I hope her inspiration does not dry out for a long time yet. The construction of the world and its characters is woven out of emotional fabric and of course the artifice of non-human to represent archetypes is blown by the complexity of the souls whose stories she melds together. The majority of the books in the *Demon* series are, even stripped of sexual content (which she does wonderfully), a voyage into love and all its flavours. It is rare to find an author who delves into the paranormal without making it seem ridiculous and overdone. Quite the opposite, these books make you wonder why she did not write at least 100 pages more per volume. The story is there, the plot is there the depth is there. If you have never picked up one of her novels before, start with this one. You fall in love with both protagonists, as well as the mind of the author herself. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/46027419-demon-angel-the-guardians-book-1](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/46027419-demon-angel-the-guardians-book-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
