Azrail is an archangel, one of the original four. He's also the Angel of Death, the harvester of souls, the One who comes to your deathbed and offers redemption. Time and Man's constant atrocities, however, turn him into a bitter cynic until he finds Kay. She becomes his light, the beacon that brings him back from the depths of his darkened soul. But Lucifer couldn't have that, and orchestrates what he believes to be the perfect plan that will finally define Az's permanent downfall. Az is thrown far deeper than ever before into his hopelessness and contempt for Man. As he looms over the outcome of his brother's malefic plan, all he can see is his own end, all he can think of is a final and destructive revenge.
Az - Revenge of an Archangel, is a dark fantasy centered around the highest form of sibling rivalry: the fight between Lucifer and the Angel of Death for the human soul. But it is also about love, deception and self-discovery, and when a small light can touch you so deeply that you change and start believing once again. Az is a fast-paced, action packed story full of emotion, witty dialogue, and dark humor as narrated by the edgy angel of death himself.

The synopsis of this book does not do it justice. When I started the book I didn't know if it would be up my alley. However, the discord among the archangels and, more specifically, Azrail and Lucifer is captivating. It gives a new spin on some of the Bible tales and I loved it. The story follows Azrail and Lucifer's battles through the ages. At the core of the story is Martha, Mary and, most importantly, Kay. It follows the journey of Az slowly losing faith and suddenly finding hope and light in one small little girl. The question is: Will it be enough?
I loved this story and found tears on my face for Az. Take time to read this story, you will not be disappointed.

Az is a wildly entertaining, pulse pounding ride that, honestly, I had to take a break from just to catch my breath. I wholeheartedly recommend Az to anyone, as long as they don't have a heart condition. AA Bavar's style of writing grabbed hold of me in way, that I could feel all of Az's struggles, as if they were my own. A rare book that doesn't just tell a story, but allows the reader to become part of the adventure. Enjoy.

Diving inside the gang of archangels. Didn't know archangels argued and fought among themselves? This story is an irreverent view of the highest angels, particularly Azrail, the angel of death. The story begins with Az losing his job to another angel of death and goes wilder from there with plenty of battles both mental and arma-mental with clever and funny dialogue.
