Danger, betrayal, and enticing forbidden love clash in book three of #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout’s Harbinger trilogy!When Angels Fall
Trinity Marrow has lost the battle and her beloved Protector. Even with both demons and Wardens on her side, Trin may not win the war against the Harbinger.
Bringing Lucifer back to the world to fight the Harbinger is probably a really, really bad idea, but they’re out of options—and the world’s ultimate fallen angel is the only being powerful enough to impact the outcome.
As Trin and Zayne form a new and more dangerous bond and Lucifer unleashes Hell on earth, the apocalypse looms and the world teeters on the end of forever. Win or lose, one thing is certain—nothing will ever be the same.

Where do I even start with this review? I have been waiting for this book for so, so long. It’s no surprise to anyone who has followed me for any length of time that Jennifer L Armentrout is my all time favourite author. She has been for 10 years and I can’t even put into words how excited I was to get my hands on this book. Out of all of Jennifer’s books and series The Harbinger is probably my all time favourite. Zayne… my all time favourite book boy (I’m sorry Aiden… I still love you too). So after that shocker of an ending of Rage and Ruin I have been dying to get my hands on Grace and Glory. Grace and Glory was everything I ever could have wanted and more. It was absolute perfection.
Grace and Glory picks up right where Rage and Ruin left off, with Zayne back from the dead and with wings… as an angel! But all is not as it seems. Zayne returning as an angel comes with its own complications for him and Trin and it’s not an easy ride. Can they figure it out and come together through all to save the world from The Harbinger?
I loved Grace and Glory. I loved every single moment of it. Right from the start I was completely obsessed with this world and these characters all over again. I couldn’t believe what was happening and I was a complete emotional mess right from the get go. I’m not kidding when I say this is my favourite JLA series. I am so emotionally attached that I was practically sobbing by chapter two. I couldn’t turn those pages fast enough! It really is a credit to Jennifer and the phenomenal story teller that she is, that I was so involved in this book right from page one and I couldn’t stop reading.
Zayne is complete and utter perfection. He is without a doubt my favourite book boyfriend of all time. I adore him and I adore his love story with Trinity. That adoration just tripled throughout Grace and Glory. Even when he’s dealing with the outcome of being a fallen angel he is still just perfect. It just made me fall even more in love with him. Grace and Glory is first and foremost a love story and I freaking loved every single second of seeing Zayne and Trinity get their happy ever after.
Grace and Glory is packed full of twists and turns. Some of them I guessed… some of them I absolutely did not!! One in particular at the end I was shocked by. I never picked up on any clues throughout the series for this particular revelation but you can guarantee I’ll be on the lookout for it on my next re-read.
I loved every single moment of this book and it was the absolute perfect conclusion to this trilogy. My heart is full to bursting after finishing this book… even if I am still heartbroken it is the final one. Usually I’m so apprehensive about series finales, worried that I will be left hanging and wanting more. While I’m always wanting more from any of Jen’s worlds this finale was so satisfying and perfect. You will not be disappointed with this ending. And as always… I am keeping my fingers crossed for another book/series in this world. This is my new favourite Jennifer book! Phenomenal!!
