About this book

A Wishing Shelf Book Award Finalist!

Every monster has a weakness. Even angels.

Maia loved dystopian video games but now she’s playing one for real in the streets of Edinburgh. Forced to survive a global purge as humanity’s punishment for abusing the planet, Maia dreams of fighting back. When she clashes swords with Hunter, an act of mercy grants her wish.

A weapon that hurts them. A chance for rebellion.

But that act of mercy also leads to a wounded Hunter on the floor of her refuge. Can a savage warrior angel from a culture of pain and dominance be tamed? Or is this one game Maia is destined to lose?

If you like enemies to lovers, a brooding hero, and the apocalypse, you’ll love We Are Not Angels. Read the first novella in the steamy paranormal romance series The Warrior Angels and discover how far this angel has fallen.

This book is written in British English and contains violence (including the death of small children, Papal assassination, and hacked and bleeding angels) plus sex scenes.

alien apocalypse romance with a touch of Scottish humor

June 3, 2024

This book goes through several phases. There is the initial apocalypse-survival before the heroine meets the angel, the \"taming\" of the angel, then it goes hot and heavy, and lastly action for the final showdown. It keeps the book from being cloying or stale, and the pacing was impeccable. The book also avoids most of the typical cliches that would get me eye-rolling. No contrived misunderstandings or plot devices thrown in to artificially extend the story. The heroine is neither too stupid...

dystopian romance

December 16, 2022

Angels have come to Earth in order to punish humans, for what they did to the planet. They killed people left and right, even little ones. They are unbeatable. When before Maia played dystopian video games, now she lives in one. Hiding in an abandoned house, she is unsure how much time she has left. When one of the angels finds her and comes for her, she fights back and despite all odds injures him and films it. By doing so, she brings hope to humankind. A few days later, when she finds him...

Nice quick read.

If you're into apocalyptic love stories, this book is for you. The characters are well developed and likeable. Not my favorite genre, but I enjoyed reading it anyway. I received a free copy of this book and was asked to read and review it honestly. 😀 )

Dark + Dangerous

I purchased this book for my kindle on sale a while back and forgot about it and boy am I sad I’ve been missing out. No spoilers, but if you enjoy a feral masculinity and a short ‘will they, won’t they’ courtship, you’ll love this. I’m an absolute sucker for strong silent, and the head tilting, yes please! I found the storyline believable, the characters enjoyable, and read it straight through as I couldn’t put it down. I’m really hoping Nadine writes many more stories about feral creatures. )

Great book!

I really enjoyed this book. The relationships between the characters were so real. Hunter and Maia's relationship felt new and yet very plausible. The pacing was great, pulling you right along with the story. I'd say that fans of Emma Bull's \"War for the Oaks\" would like this book, although it's been years since I read that. Definitely recommend! )
