About this listen
Riley thought he knew what to expect from college, but he never planned for angels, demons, or a team of attractive, overprotective guardians.
When one fateful night opens his eyes to a world he never knew existed, Riley Shepard must navigate a host of supernatural dangers, all while struggling with new and confusing feelings for his guardian angels. With the promise of friends, family, and freedom finally within his grasp, he fears not only for his heart but for his life, as well.
Lucky for him, some things are worth dying for.
Revelations is the first book in the slow-burn harem/poly romance series Fire & Brimstone, featuring hurt/comfort, swoon-worthy guardian angels, sexual awakening, and an unlikely hero, too innocent for his own good.
Trigger warnings include: situations of homophobia (both external and internal), past child abuse, self-harm, mental health, and one instance (prologue) of nongraphic sexual assault.

This is the slowest of slow burns with a ton of (amazing) world-building and character development, so if your usual go-to is all action (both between the sheets and elsewhere) this probably isn't going to be for you. If you're all about the angst (lots of trigger warnings apply here) of self-discovery, recovery from past abuse, and just your whole world not being what you thought it was generally, this feels like a bit of a gateway to a long and happy reader/series relationship.
I really like the characters: Riley's naivety and innocence show in a childlike (sometimes childish) state, which sometimes feels regressive and other times not...but I'm sure his development will continue. The Guardians are fantastic - all with very different characteristics and personality traits. Their absolute in common is their devotion to Riley's protection and as more than just their job.
The narration is very good. Graves is a talented narrator and he's worked to given each character their own distinct voice and really brings to life their actions and emotions.
This is one of those series openers where I'm so glad I've got the luxury of diving right into the other five books. I genuinely don't have the patience to wait for the audiobooks to be produced, but if each installment is as good as Revelations I'll be happy to listen to the whole thing again.
Book: 5 fantastic stars
Narration: 4 very good stars

I also want to address thee myriad of trigger warnings – all of which are necessary and important. There were moments of great suffering for the main character, Riley. I was uncomfortable and I felt that pain. Now, I am an empathetic person. That being said, there were a few moments I struggled to keep going. The stories of the abuse Riley suffered as a child were devastating. The cruelty of his foster mother knew no bounds, and then he winds up with one of the most homophobic roommates on the entire campus. It often felt like Riley couldn’t catch a break, and anytime he tried to step out and have fun, his horrendous foster mother would intervene. You’d think being away and at college would have loosened her grip, but it didn’t. Her homophobia and puritanical views were unrelenting.
Okay, so now that the tough stuff is out of the way. The whole premise intrigued me. Two Guardian angels sent to protect Riley. They do just that one night and it becomes clear Riley is in danger. Now, I’m not familiar with this worldbuilding of angels, demons, creatures, and – frankly – violence. I could, however, relate to the tenderness and kindness of Jay and Noel. Even Gideon had his moments. Riley struggles with understanding what is going on around him. He planned a nice quiet education. He’s in for so much more than that.
Riley’s naïveté spoke to me. Not everyone experiences our sexualized culture the same way. He struggles with understanding his body’s yearnings versus the religious and zealous upbringing. There are no easy answers, but I like that he didn’t just jump into bed with anyone. There are more books and I foresee a sexual awakening, but I’m counting on it being done with decorum and kindness. God knows, Riley deserves to be treasured.
And so I hope the next book is available on audio soon. I’m so glad I listened to this one – disturbing parts and all. Finally I’ll mention the humor. Plenty of it to go around, lightening the piece. The powerful piece.
An interesting start to a series
