About this listen
At its heart are two elite soldiers: SELENE ALLEVA, a powerful exorcist trained at the prestigious Vatican Academy, and foot soldier, JULES LACROIX, unrivalled in battle.
When their paths cross, despite initial distrust - then unwelcome attraction - Jules and Selene discover a terrible secret at the heart of the holy Vatican City . . .
Soon Jules is forced to question everything he's ever known - including himself. And Selene, unable to ignore her growing feelings for Jules, must make an impossible choice between love and duty.
Serpent and Dove meets Empire of the Vampire, with a star-crossed, enemies-to-lovers romance at its heart. Perfect for fans of Powerless, Fourth Wing and Divine Rivals.

Pretty good
Had I been able to read this book uninterrupted I think I'd have rated it higher, but as it was I was very busy and I had to go back and reread the first ten chapters a second time because I just hadn't taken anything in. As it was, it lost me at the end because there was just so much happening, and the audiobook had three narrators when it really only needed one.
I'm going to hang onto my physical copy for now, and reread it when the sequel comes out because I'm not 100% sure of my feelings on it. The vibes were great, but my reading experience was just interrupted so much that I can't say for sure whether it was lacking because of my physical reading experience or whether the book needed some fine-tuning.
