In Chicago, something is climbing inside the dying.
A doctor who sees what medicine cannot explain. An exiled Archangel who needs her help. A bond that puts them both in the path of a supernatural killer.
Chicago ER attending Dr. Sarah Montgomery has been knowing things before the labs come back: diagnosing internal bleeds her patients haven't bled yet, ordering blood work for symptoms that haven't appeared. She's been calling it intuition for years. It isn't.
When the Fallen Response Unit walks into her hospital chasing a supernatural plague disguised as ordinary tissue necrosis, Sarah learns her diagnostic gift is Fallen-aligned, and that Uriel, the exiled Archangel who founded the FRU after his own Fall, needs her medical eye to see the thing killing his city. Together they hunt a Fallen named Bael through possession victims, hospital wards, and the wreckage of everything Sarah thought she understood about medicine.

Sarah & Uriel A physic doctor and a fallen angel are an amazing pair, that work together in a way that made this story a great read, that I found hard to put down. I have to recommend this as a great paranormal story with a couple that left me wanting more! I Loved It!!! No Spoilers! I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Shadow Protocol is an amazingly entertaining Paranormal romance that brings together fallen archangel Uriel and Dr. Sarah Montgomery in a heated Urban Fantasy that for its FMC is going to turn her world every which way but up.Sarah has psychic abilities, Uriel hunts Demons and when they are thrown together by fate or an unseen hand they may just save the world.Absolutely loved this story which was nicely written with perfectly crafted characters who elicited all the emotions as the danger, threats, intrigue, violence, passion, and vulnerability, all coalesce into a story that broke the emotional bank as the action and adventure took over the pages. Word building was imaginative and immersive andI remained firmly within the pages of this narrative until the very last page!I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
This story takes place in Chicago with a physician FMC who has to quickly learn how to navigate her new found abilities. The Fallen MMC comes to help and Sarah the FMC soon realizes there is more then meets the eyes when it comes to the supernatural and to be scared of what is lurking in the shadowsSome action, some spice and true bonding.This book was given to me as an eARC
The book starts off strong and is incredibly engaging, hooking you from the very first pages. Sarah, a doctor with supernatural powers, gets pulled into a mysterious battle between good and evil led by Archangel Uriel. The chemistry between the MMC and FMC is fast-burning and intense.Unfortunately, around the halfway book, I felt the plot lost its way and started going in circles. There was a bit too much focus on feelings at the expense of important plot points, leaving some things unclear. Uriel’s role also diminished significantly, which was a bit disappointing.Overall, it's an interesting read with some great details, and Meredith definitely deserves a full star on her own!I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.Rating: 3.8 / 5 ⭐Spice: 2 / 5 🌶️
ARC copy- Initially I thought I was going to like this book, but honestly as it went on it wasn't for me. It delves too deep into medical jargon (which I get since the MFC is a surgeon, but it seems way too forced at times). It also seemed to drag on for way too long. Interesting idea & premise, but I just couldn't get behind it's execution.
Despite this book being over 600 pages, it doesn't read like that at all and I found myself finishing this one pretty quickly. Uriel and Sarah are so good together and I love the kitty Meredith. I think the concept of this novel, ER trauma surgeon plus a fallen archangel trying to stop a shadow-plague from spreading set in Chicago is fantastic and I thought the characters were well done. I am definitely interested in seeing how the next book plays out and I am excited to learn more about Raziel & Luna in book 2!
Headline: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly what I needed: Gritty urban fantasy meets slow-burn romantasy!I picked this up on a whim and ended up completely devouring it in two sittings! I’ve read a lot of paranormal romance, but Shadow Protocol feels so fresh. The whole concept of fallen angels operating as a black-ops tactical unit (the Fallen Response Unit) in a dark, gritty Chicago and other cities is brilliant. It reads like a high-stakes thriller but has the heart of an intense romance.
This book completely took over my weekend. Shadow Protocol perfectly balances a dark, high-stakes plot with a romance that genuinely tugs at your heartstrings. I didn’t think I’d get so emotionally invested in a squad of tactical supernatural creature, but here we are! The author created this terrifying, hidden world underneath Chicago, and throwing a human doctor right into the middle of it was the perfect way to explore it.The dynamic between Sarah and Uriel is everything you want in an enemies/reluctant-allies to lovers story. The romance is an agonizing slow burn that pays off in the absolute best way. What surprised me the most was the contrast between the brutal, visceral fight scenes and the incredibly tender, emotional moments between the characters. The author writes the emotional vulnerability of these centuries-old warriors so beautifully.It’s dark. It’s intense. The supernatural shadow plot kept me guessing, and the romance is scorching. I'm officially obsessed with this universe and cannot wait to see what happens with the rest of the FRU team next. 5 massive stars!
