The Archangel of Death and the Archangel of Disease may be gone but their legacy of evil lives on—especially in Africa, where the shambling, rotting creatures called the reborn have gained a glimmer of vicious intelligence.
It is up to Titus, archangel of this vast continent, to stop the reborn from spreading across the world. Titus can’t do it alone, but of the surviving powerful angels and archangels, large numbers are wounded, while the rest are fighting a surge of murderous vampires.
There is no one left . . . but the Hummingbird. Old, powerful, her mind long a broken kaleidoscope. Now, she must stand at Titus’s side against a tide of death upon a discovery more chilling than any other. For the Archangel of Disease has left them one last terrible gift . . . .

Archangel Rafael requests that Sharine (aka the hummingbird) go to Africa to help Archangel Titus after the Archangelic war. Titus must stop the reborn that is starting to surface from taking over his territory. Initially, this causes problems as Titus is not willing to work with Sharine. She has been broken for so long and she is not exactly a fighter. However, she turns out to surprise him.
I would be remiss if I didn’t start off by saying that you need to read the last book in the series to get a general idea of what is going on in the world that the author created. Technically, all books should be read in order but there is some back story and if you want to know more about the war, read the last book.
It is always amazing when an author takes the time to craft a strong heroine. Sharine may not have started that way. She has a long history and most view her as broken but she came into her own. I have to say she is up there with Elena for me in this series. I went in not too sure how I would feel about any of the lead characters but finished with me loving the romantic elements of the story. This is a bit softer than I’m used to but still good.
I like Titus because he is a strong character and that is exactly the kind of male counterpart that Sharine needs. He reveals a tender side when necessary. I can’t wait to see how their relationship grows. The main reason that I couldn’t give this review 5 star is because the ending didn’t tie up their story. Sharine still has a way to go as she navigates this new world.
Fans of this series will relish seeing what is going on with other characters in this world. Yes, Titus and Sharine started off as side characters with a minor roles in this series but I think readers will be pleasantly surprised how they stand as lead in their own book.
