What it’s about
It was supposed to be a quick mission. The only thing quick about it was how rapidly I failed.
With only a month left to earn her missing feathers, twenty-year-old Leigh embarks on a trip to Paris to meet her newest project, twenty-five-year-old Jarod Adler, leader of the Parisian Mafia and the worst kind of sinner… a Triple.
If Leigh can get Jarod to accomplish a single act of kindness, she stands to win 100 feathers, more than enough to complete her wings and ascend to Elysium, the land of angels.
What she doesn’t count on is Jarod’s dark charm costing her feathers.
She’s dead set on saving him, and he’s dead set on destroying her.
Until he realizes destroying her wings is also destroying her heart.
A heart he longs to hear beat only for him.
Trigger warnings: graphic sexual scenes and a difficult ending. Not recommended for Young Adults.
About the Author
USA TODAY bestselling author Olivia Wildenstein grew up in New York City and earned her bachelor’s in comparative literature from Brown University. After designing jewelry for a few years, Wildenstein traded in her tools for the writing life, which made more sense considering her college degree.
When she’s not sitting at her computer, she’s psychoanalyzing everyone she meets (Yes. Everyone), eavesdropping on conversations to gather material for her next book, and attempting not to forget one of her kids in school.
She has a slight obsession with romance and all things paranormal.
What I Thought
I’m going to start this by saying I’ve never cried at a book before and although I knew what was going to happen it was so sad but beautiful.
In school probably like a lot of you, I had no option but to read Romeo and Juliet for my English Lit exam. I read it that much I still know the prologue x amount of years later much to my kids disappointment.
Feather follows on the same lines as Romeo and Juliet with Leigh as a headstrong determined girl who will do anything to complete her wings but falls in love with Jarod who to me was more than meets the eye.
Since I am writing this almost two years after I read this I will be completing a reread but I remember how moved I was and how I wasn’t able to put this down to a point where I got told off for reading in bed at stupid o’clock in the morning.
This book was beatuifully written and made me fall in love with the characters in a way I never had before. I have also recently bought the paperbacks as that cover is something else as well.
