”Forbidden romance at its sexiest!” - DANIELLE L. JENSEN, author of The Bridge Kingdom
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.
Fans of dark supernatural romance will devour this modern ROMEO & JULIET retelling today.
*Warning: FEATHER deals with dark topics, such as suicide, and contains graphic sex.

The premise of an angel fletchling trying her hardest to do good and ascend and do good- just to start questioning authority of the overall system. This, i believe is a good idea but the execution is a little lacking.
1. The Plotholes/ Character execution
Oh god, the Plotholes. To start off, why would the biggest Mafia/Gang Boss of Paris, let some girl in that said some shady stuff? No last name, no clear intention besides „i am here to make you do a good deed“ and no ulterior motive. If i was Jarod, i wouldn’t even have let her into that party, let alone talk to her in private.
Then, how often she was sent home and came back with a shitty excuse the next day. Yes, you could say, something drove her to come back - but mostly it felt like the author was a little confused on how to move the story along while still upholding the characters morals. This especially had me feeling like i was listening to a fancy version of a fanfiction.
2. This goddamn Fortnite Line
The moment Jarod and Leigh had this emotional speech about his brothers death, i was engaged. Finally, we had a moment where they connected. Until that jawdropping line came. Something about how he had accidentally killed his brother because he was too busy playing fortnite? I am sorry. I was listening to this and it took me a solid minute or so to realize that this has just been said. I paused, jumped over to my roommates and i laughed probably a whole minute or so. If this was supposed to be an emotional part that i should‘ve cared about, i would‘ve if i didn’t had to imagine this little boy version of Jarod screaming for a heal jar while his brother drowned in the background.
3. Everything else
For a romance book, i would say it’s basic. The story had me so unengaged and unenthusiastic about it, that i find it hard to say much about it. There was a lot of s*x, duh. But even that felt like a vanilla person tried to write kinkily. The only good i could mention would be the Performance of the Reader. She had a very good voice and i could distinguish between who was talking.
Read this book if you never really stepped into the world of Fantasy books, but even then i could recommend dozens of others that had me more engaged, more emotional and much more satisfied after reading.
This is definitely something…

Love the narrator for this.
This book destroyed me, why did you do that to me? What ending was that? Great way to finish my reading in tears!
Honestly I liked everything about this story. I loved Leigh aka Feather, she’s so caring and earnest. She’s fierce when she needs to be and she’s also fair.
The most important trait is that she never gives up no matter what.
Jarod is everything, he’s so damaged inside. I just want to hug him and never let go.
He’s so scared of love or caring for another but in comes Feather to change his view on the world and oh boy she does just that. Their love was precious from beginning to the “end”.
I loved every single interaction between them. One of my favorite moments was when Jarod touched Leigh’s wings, that was perfection. I also loved their sexy times although I would’ve loved more detailed about them 🤭.
Tristan, Jarod’s best friend, I wasn’t expecting him to be so angry with the world. He really surprised me and not in a good way which was a bummer since I really liked him at the beginning but oh well I won’t share any tears for him that’s for sure.
I loved Muriel so much, I could feel her motherly affection through the book. I just loved everything about her.
Now Asher, he’s an a-hole honestly. I didn’t trusted him at the beginning because I knew he wasn’t one to be trusted which honestly isn’t that surprising. Angels tend to be more scheming than Demons or the Devil 🤷♀️
I thought he was gonna help Leigh because he had so many opportunities to do so but did he? Oh no he didn’t! Can you tell I’m mad at him already?
After so many opportunities to help them, why did he wait until the VERY VERY End to do something about it? I still can’t believe the ending! I’m angry and frustrated with Asher and I can tell he’s gonna suffer for doing what’s he’s doing but at this moment I don’t care very much about him . With that being said I also know I gonna love him at the end of this so 🙈
As you can see I have very mixed feeling about him.
My heart 🥺
