Review : Angel Omega: Imprisonment by Brandon Lee Godbee

Book Blurb

After struggling for several long months, Jason and Sarah Wyatt are expecting a healthy baby boy. How could they have known that the young child growing in Sarah's womb is the banished soul of the youngest archangel of heaven? His crime is so unspeakable that it seems unreal. The archangel Gabriel has sworn to watch over him, for he alone knows the truth about why the archangel Omega would defy his eldest brother, Michael, and bring the Antichrist before God. Could one act of kindness save the darkest of souls?

Toot's Review by Stephanie Silva

This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review

We all have read novels about angels and demons. We all know about the tragedies Lucifer caused and how the archangels, champions of heaven, had to battle the devil’s demons in order to save the human’s soul from darkness. Well, let me tell you that this novel, the beginning of quite a promising series, is nothing like those stories you have read or heard so far. In fact, it will change your perspective of how heaven, hell, earth, and they respective beings were created in such a way that you won’t be able to stop reading until you are finished. Warning: Get ready for a warm and tender narration that will certainly make the characters feel like family. Therefore, I recommend you to get ready to laugh out loud, burn in rage, shed some tears and fall in love because I promise you that once you start this book you won’t be a reader but part of them.

This story is quite a refreshing tale because of its narration. Everything starts with a scene that would surely catch you attention. The youngest Archangel of heaven, Omega, is being sealed in a mortal’s body by his brother, Archangel Michael, as punishment for breaking heavenly law. By this point, you would think this story is our main character, right? Well think again guys. This story has no main character because the author considers that every character is important and everyone deserves to share his/her story with you. Therefore, there are a lot of Archangels and demons that will share their past with you while you turn the pages but be warned, some of those memories will steal your heart and you may not be able to get it back.

Omega’s family misses him a lot and decides to watch over him using a gazing bowl in the Temple of Sight in heaven. They enjoy having the youngest Archangel as a sweet and troublesome baby but they are worried that he might be in danger while he is in mortal form. Therefore, Damien, nephew and best friend of Omega, disguises himself and stays by Omegas side in order to protect him while he faces childhood and adolescence. Unfortunately, things in heaven became worse when Lucifer starts his multiple plans to take over heaven. Be warned that Lucifer can be quite cruel towards his siblings and Father but at some point, when you meet his younger gentle and pure self, you may not be able to totally hate him…just like his family. This is the trick that the author does, you are becoming part of their family while reading the novel because you are sharing every memory, pain, lose, and laugh with them to the point that it is yours as well.

Things get worse when Lucifer tries to get his son, Damien, under his control again by using his soul mate and things don’t get any better when his plan fails but he leaves quite calmly. You just leave calmly after losing such a big battle and duel, right? Well, he did because he had quite an ace up his sleeve. Unfortunately, he hurt heaven even more, especially Michael, when he reveals it. The little happiness that the archangels get by having their nephew, Damien, and his soul mate in heaven after everything that both went through and by watching Omega as a baby once again is consumed little by little by the plans of the master of darkness. Things aren’t any easier when a mystery figure from the Archangel’s past returns to their present and starts to cause trouble. Who is this mystery figure? What does she want? Will Lucifer take heaven away from his Father and become the new God? What has Lucifer done that hurt the most strict, calm and in love with the rules Archangel? Will Omega return to heaven in time to help the angels battle Lucifer’s army? Well you will have to read to find out. ;P

These novels talks about love, compassion, hope and betrayal. It will make you laugh and cry but it will also give you a new perspective of things. I don’t know, maybe you will end up finding hope in places you didn’t even expect. Maybe after reading you will understand that you decide who you are and not your parents or society and that everyone deserves a second chance, even the less likely to change for good, because they may give you quite a pleasant surprise. I expect this story to leave its mark in your heart as it did on mine.

Enjoy your read, I sure did.
