"Taking Up Light" [The Light Ones Series, Book 1] by Holly Lauren

My Book Summary : Did you know that after everyone dies those that go to Heaven actually go to a place called Paradise instead? While Heaven is actually a parallel universe to Earth where Angels live. However, even though they are Angels, that doesn't mean that, everything there is perfect either. There are those in Heaven who hate humans. There are those in Heaven that live by their own rules. And there are some who will do anything to get what they want.

The problem ...

Jack (a bad boy Angel) is going to find that his world is going to drastically with his latest promotion and assignment, which puts him in the middle of a battle between the Light Ones and the Dark Ones that no one really expected.

What makes it harder for Jack is that his assignment means he's being sent to Earth and he highly dislikes humans. Yet throughout his assignment, his views about humans drastically change, especially after being around his neighbor Emmeline who draws out places within himself he didn't know existed.

Nevertheless, Jack will soon find that what he decides to do, save, and become will change everything for Earth and Heaven when it comes to the battle between the Light Ones and the Dark Ones. Will he be able to handle it all and get what he wants? Or will it all be too much?

My Book Review : 4.5 out of 5 stars. This is a new HOT series involving Angels and Demons with a couple of inspiring twists!! I have never read this type of novel before when it comes to Angels, and I am SOOO happy I read this one!! Jack's personal struggle with his life and his past are major points throughout the whole novel that keep you on your toes. While the growing relationship between Emme and Jack is hot, sweet, and real feeling with the way they handle everything that comes at them throughout this novel!

I couldn't get enough of it and didn't want to put it down! THEN --- the endings shocking twist that makes me wonder --- What happened to Jack?? Did they really merge? So, I can't wait until January 2013 to read book two in this series, "Borrowing Light."

I HIGHLY recommend this novel and series to anyone is into paranormal romances revolving around Angels and Demons.

- On a side note -
The version I read from Smashwords was full of spelling mistakes that I don't know if she mistakenly uploaded it or just never edited it. So, if you get that version and get irritated easily about spelling mistakes then I hope you'll receive a better version then I read.

Also -- what happened to Emme's cat Midnight, not that it really matters in the plot, but he was mentioned at the beginning of the novel but by the middle to the end I don't think he's mentioned at all. =0/

Book Teaser(s) :
She groaned and refilled her glass, remembering how she practically sobbed onto the shoulder of her new neighbor. The incredibly good-looking, perfectly-built neighbor who had the most unusual turquoise eyes. And, OH! Even better, the one who definitely caught her staring at his lips.
"I always say too much," she told Midnight when he jumped onto her lap. "Parker's right. I don't wear my heart on my sleeve. I fly it like a banner over my head. And now I'm talking to my cat." She fingered the pink collar around his neck. "Not that you're not a good listener, but...Ugh. Emmeline Taylor, you are an idiot." ~ within Chapter 5
They dug out a place at the dining room table, moving aside some books she'd been flipping through earlier in the week to get ideas for her book.
"Harry Potter?" Sawyer said, holding one up with a crooked grin. That grin used to be all it took to do her in. "Aren't you a little old for witchcraft and vampires?" She snatched the volume from his hands a little harder than she meant to.
"He's not a witch. He's a wizard. And there are no vampires in Harry Potter." ~ within Chapter 17
