Book Review: Even Angels Fall by E.V. Sauvage

July 24, 2026

Synopsis:

300 years ago, my world collided with Earth.

My kind has been ruling over the world ever since, passing as archangels.

Doves, swans, cockatoo, their white wings in half shifted form are the sign of their power.

I should have been the next in line.

I should have been the new archangel Michaël.

But my wings aren’t white.

So instead I have to stay hidden. Instead, I’ve been trained my whole life. Instead, I’m their weapon.

Because who would be best suited to kill the dragon shifter living inside of Notre Dame than a fallen angel?

My name is Angélique. I’m a crow-shifter, and my mission is to marry Elhyor and to kill him on our wedding night.

But nothing is the way it seems, and the dragon might be harder to kill than I thought.

He might also be my only chance at freedom…

Do I have any chance of surviving unscathed?

Only time will tell…

Review:

I did not expect to enjoy this as much as I did, and I was very happy about that. Shapeshifters, angels, and humans fighting: promising, but not the most unique overall plot on paper. The execution, though, was a roller coaster of emotions and a heck of a lot of fun. 🙂

Angélique was supposed to become her father’s successor. It turns out she is a special one, and that automatically disqualifies her in his eyes. Instead, he trains her to become a soldier/assassin and treats her in the worst way possible.
When she is sent away to get married and tasked with murdering her future husband, it opens the door to a lot more complications. When she arrives, not only is he a very attractive person, but it seems like, for once, someone might actually appreciate her for who she is instead of treating her like garbage.

To be honest, if anyone had even remotely treated me the way Elhyor treated Angélique, I would have abandoned my mission instantly. She felt welcomed and special for the first time in her life, and I was so rooting for them and for her finally becoming the person she always was but was never allowed to be.
The banter between the two of them and their growing attraction were extremely engaging. 🙂 And for once, I did not mind the spicy scenes at all. Overall, some parts were a bit too cliché and over the top, but everything else came together to make this a damn good book.
