Emissary: An MM Forbidden Romance (Star-Crossed Celestials) Kindle Edition

The line between angel and demon is razor thin. No one knows this better than Kai.

As an Emissary of death, darkness follows Kai like a shadow, leaving him touch-starved and lonely. Tormented by the error in judgment that killed his only love, he accepts an assignment to redeem himself: hunting down the demons destroying the mortal realm. But fate takes a turn, and Kai finds himself drawn to one of his targets instead.

Demonic martial arts expert Byron Black has struggled to survive his entire life. He has fought for every breath he’s taken and each bite he’s eaten, yet in the instant when his demise finally seems inevitable, death incarnate steps forward and spares him. Kai is as beautiful as he is terrifying, and although Byron suspects the angel’s interest in him is more than it appears, he can’t stay away.

Together, the pair search for answers regarding who wants Byron dead—and why—but uncovering the truth might destroy them both in the process. Can Kai defeat his inner demons to save the one that has crawled into his bed?

Set in the Star-Crossed Celestials universe, Emissary is a standalone novel featuring an array of creepy crypts and crematoriums, train-top sword fighting, an excessive number of buckles and buttons, and (of course) a Happily Ever After. It can be read as a companion story to the Star-Crossed Celestials Duet, best enjoyed after reading Watcher (Book 1) and Messenger (Book 2).

5.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 stars for Emissary!
Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2023
As a prequel to the Star-Crossed Celestials series, Emissary can be read without reading the other stories since it takes place before them. I have not read the other books, and had no problem following along and understanding the world in which this story takes place. And that world? It’s hard, rough, and perilous if you are a demon or even just part demon, or if you are a Watcher. Most are hunted and killed for being what they are, regardless if they are “bad” - they are tainted just due to the fact of their birth.

Kai is an Emissary of Death; Emissaries and Messengers are the warriors who hunt and take the lives of demons, Watchers, and anyone the stars dictate as destined for death. Problem is, when Kai consults the stars about Byron being on his list of targets? The stars say no, it’s not his time. This contradiction with his orders triggers a major conflict, putting Kai and Byron on the run, looking for answers while just trying to stay alive. There’s more to discover, and the journey is tense, exciting, and fraught with danger.

What that journey also brings is time for the two to get to know each other, grow closer, and eventually form a strong connection. Their relationship is complicated due to what they each are - a demon and an Emissary - but Kai becomes intensely attached to Byron anyway, even when those feelings evoke pain and sadness thanks to how Kai’s previous relationship ended.

This was an intriguing story, and did keep me on edge for the majority of the book. For the first quarter or so, it did take me a little bit to get hooked in, but after that it definitely held my attention. The closer Kai and Byron grew, and the closer they came to uncovering what was really going on, the deeper I was pulled into the story.

Overall, Emissary was a 4.5-star read for me. If you love paranormal/fantasy stories with a nice dose of heat plus the added bonus of opposites attract, this story will be right up your alley. I’ve already added the other books from this series to my TBR, and can’t wait to dive in. Emissary is meant for readers 18+ for adult language and sexual content.

I really enjoyed Kai and Byron's story. The fact that a person's inner self influenced how they saw the celestials was a great story element. It was an interesting world, another visit.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Kai was bound to kill an innocent man... no, boy. Man-boy. Whatever he was."
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2023
This book grabbed me and did not let go! A.L. Morrow is yet another new-to-me author and I'm stunned by their writing. Authors I usually like are ones who have their own unique writing style. Since this is the only book I've read by this author I'm not sure if other books of theirs are similar to this one or not, cause this one? Was downright riveting.

It's rare when a book has me actually feeling nervous and weary for the characters but this book definitely made me feel like that. Along with cheering on Kai and Byron through their highs, and practically feeling their pain and anguish. The level of detail that was prominent throughout the whole course of this book was phenomenal. Not once did a page nor a chapter lack precise detail of not only the descriptions, but of the scenes happening within the pages, the dialogue between characters, the background, and of course the characters.

I got put through a roller coaster reading this book, I just wanted to see these two men get their mostly 'happy' ever after. The action in this book surprised me as I want fully expecting how much of a part it played, I was pleasantly surprised by it though. It definitely was there for a reason and the plotline? *Chef's kiss* I was not expecting Byron's dad to be who he ended up being. I was really hoping it was Lynx. Be that as it may, despite the action scenes and the destruction and war that's happening on page I fell in love with the characters. They each have their own year jerking story along with their own fight and determination, none of these characters felt like an afterthought or a filler. They all belonged, even the bad guys who nobody wants around.

I am really hoping in future stories we can see more of Dev and his siblings. And of course a follow up on Kai and Byron.

Oh! And since this is a new-to-me author, this series is new to me to. So, this can be read as a standalone. I really enjoyed it, and I've never read any of the author books in this series.

The heat level is maybe a 3.5? When the scenes do happen they are steamy but they don't happen that often.

Overall I'm really impressed and I'm really glad I read this.

*I received an early copy of this book and this is my honest review.*

This book has some great world building and the premise is really good. I will have to look up the rest of this series. Malakai and Byron were absolutely perfect for each other. Truly fascinating story.

5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Love the stunning cover of this book so I was immediately tuned in and the story was fantastic. I am looking forward to reading the other books in this series as this book is more of a "prequel" but it did not deter me from picking up this book and diving in.

I loved the journey of Kai and Byron.....but Kai, who is an Angel of Death, is set out to destroy Byron yet totally drawn to him instead..Kai destroys watchers and demons. Bryon believes that Kai has an ulterior motive but cannot stay away....and as Kai is initially feeling conflicted in his feeling and draw toward Byron. When Kai saves Byron's life instead of destroying it, will Kai and Byron find anything hidden truths in this fight for survival? Will they deny their chemistry?

This story is fantastic. I love the chemistry between Kai and Byron. Suspense, demons, twists and turns. I am looking forward to diving into more of this series!!!

This one caught my interest quickly. I enjoyed it so much that I'll probably continue on the other books in the series.

I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion
