About this book

Life on Paragon Island has never been more perilous for Skyla Messenger. As a half-breed angel gifted with the ability to read minds, Skyla stands at the center of a celestial war, leading the most powerful angelic faction while struggling to maintain her grip on reality. After a devastating betrayal by the one person she trusted most, the lines between friend and foe have blurred, leaving her world fractured and her future uncertain.

This gripping installment of the Celestra series masterfully blends urban fantasy with haunting paranormal elements and a dash of historical intrigue. As Skyla navigates a landscape where ghosts of the past loom large and angelic factions hunt her at every turn, she finds herself trapped in a high-stakes enemies-to-lovers dynamic that defies expectation. The emotional toll is heavy, and the stakes have never been higher for the Nephilim people.

Prepare to be completely entranced by this roller coaster of heartbreak and destiny. With shocking twists that will leave you reeling and a romance that feels both fated and forbidden, this story is a must-read for fans of addictive supernatural sagas. Just be warned: Addison Moore delivers an ending so intense it will leave you desperate for the next chapter.

Words cannot do it justice... BREATHTAKING & AMAZING!!!

December 22, 2014

From the moment it started till I turned the last page, I was intrigued, entranced, completely under its spell. I've never had a book evoke so many emotions in me. And I've read some REALLY good books, I've had book hangovers too. But The Dragon and the Rose took it to a whole new level! I laughed, I cried, I screamed (in both joy and horror), and I almost choked to death, literally! I was taking a drink of water as I read and came across this one part that cracked me up so hard that water...

I can't have just read what I read!

What?! This can't be! Addison Moore leaves me crushed and wanting more again! I keep feeling like I must have missed something. This can't be! Maybe I'll go back and read it again because I can't have just read what I read! It'll all be okay right? She can't really kill off my favorite character can she? The Celestra Forever after series combines the Celestra and Countenance series characters together on Paragon and Host. This book picks up where Celestra Forever After leaves off. Once again...

Love love love love.

Love this series. Loved this book, but can't give it 5 stars because of the ending! Addison left me freaking the eff out, I mean flipping. I cant, I cant. Would Gage really do these things because he loves Skyla? He's supposed to be the good guy. Logan is so freaking depressing it's sad. He shouldn't have been given a treble because it's just making him this sad shell of the man he was. He should be in paradise until his time comes. Waaaa. Don't get me wrong I love him, I just wish it were...

The book flows nicely with the twists and turns the characters go through

EPIC read! I could not put this book down. Incredible things happen to Skyla at the hands of her enemies. Does Gage truly have evil intentions or is he playing a role just to get info to help the Nephilim people? You must read it to find out! The book flows nicely with the twists and turns the characters go through. Cloe once again proves shes the one enemy you can love to hate. Skyla has no idea the horrible things that lye ahead for her. She is a lucky girl to have 2 amazing men that are...

staying true to her characters

Another roller coaster of a ride, and Addison does an awesome job staying true to her characters. We start out this story knowing that Lagon is dead, but Candice has blessed him with a treble. He is trying hard to stay out of Skyla and Gage's way since they just got married. Logan is miserable trying to make sure that they are happy. He so wants Skyla to have a good life, and that enders me to him even more. Then we have Skyla, whom is still trying to figure out her role in the heavenlies and...
