This is one of my new favorite urban fantasy series so when Janice from The Demon Librarian asked me to join in on this event I couldn’t say no. I consider Linda a friend even though we’ve never met in person (hopefully one day!) and am more than happy to spread the word about her amazing series featuring warrior angels and a fierce heroine, with you all today. I hope you add the Grigori Legacy to your reading lists and have fun with the scavenger hunt! Happy Good Friday!
The Rules:
Read on for more info on the series, my clue and the scavenger hunt schedule!
The Grigori Legacy Series
A detective with a secret lineage. An undercover Hunter with a bullet-proof soul. And a world made to pay for the sins of an angel…
Homicide detective Alexandra Jarvis answers to no one. Especially not to the new partner assigned to her in the middle of a gruesome serial killer case-a partner who is obstructive, irritatingly magnetic, and arrogant as hell. Aramael is a Power–a hunter of the Fallen Angels. A millennium ago, he sentenced his own brother to eternal exile for crimes against humanity. Now his brother is back and wreaking murderous havoc in the mortal realm. To find him, Aramael must play second to a human police officer who wants nothing to do with him and whose very bloodline threatens both his mission and his soul.
Now, faced with a fallen angel hell-bent on triggering the apocalypse, Alex and Aramael have no choice but to join forces, because only together can they stop the end of days.

MY REVIEW
Heaven and Hell are on the brink of war as Lucifer builds his Nephilim army and waits for his new agenda to become a reality — that of having a Nephilimchild of his own bloodline to lead his forces to cataclysmic victory.
With rumors of the pending war rampant on Earth, Alex fights to save humanity from its own panic – leaving little time for her fledgling relationship with Seth, the man with heavenly origins who has captured her heart. But when Nephilim children begin to disappear, along with Alex’s own vulnerable niece, the inevitable war between Heaven and Hell becomes as personal as sin.
Heaven has its own plans to fight the coming apocalypse, but first it needs Seth back. Asked to betray the man she loves, Alex must turn for help to the soulmate she thought she’d given up — the Archangel Aramael, who may be her last chance to save her family and humanity from the ashes of Lucifer’s Armageddon.
MY REVIEW
My Thoughts:
I absolutely love this series, it’s dark, gritty and always keeps you on the edge of your seat…you never know what Linda will throw at you next. Alex is my favorite kind of heroine, she’s smart, outspoken and a total BADASS…I love her! The world building is extraordinary and the complex characters are intriguing…especially one smexy Archangel by the name of Aramael. I do have one confession for new readers: The Grigori Legacy is not for the faint of heart, Ms. Poitevin loves to torture her characters and has ripped out my heart a couple of times throughout this series and I keep coming back for more…yeah, it’s that good! That being said, I hope you all have fun with our little scavenger hunt and check out Linda’s Grigori Legacy series…you won’t regret it! And for those of you who have already fallen in love with the series, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments! <3
About Linda Poitevin
Linda Poitevin was born and raised in B.C., Canada’s westernmost province. Growing up in an era when writing was “a nice hobby, dear, but what are you going to do for a living?”, Linda worked at a variety of secretarial jobs before applying to be a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). Due to an error in measurement, however, she was turned down when she didn’t meet the height requirement of that time. Undeterred, Linda became a civilian member in the force and was a dispatcher for two and a half years, during which time she met her husband, a police officer.
Following their transfer to Ottawa, Linda went on to become a real estate agent and then a human resources consultant before starting a family. She remained a stay-at-home mom, homeschooled her youngest daughter for nine years and, now that she has realized writing can be more than a nice hobby, she continues to live her dream of being a cop vicariously through her characters.
Linda currently lives near Ottawa with her husband, youngest of three daughters, one very large husky/shepherd/Great Dane-cross dog, a cat, two rabbits, and a bearded dragon lizard. When she isn’t writing, she can usually be found in her garden or walking her dog along the river or through the woods.
In addition to her books, Linda also does freelance writing and editing. Information about her services can be found at www.lindapoitevin.ca. Linda is a member of Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America, Quebec Writers’ Federation, Romance Writers of America, RWA Futuristic Fantasy Paranormal Chapter, and Ottawa Romance Writers’ Association.

I am new and would love to start with the first book.
Another series that I’ve never read, but you’re like the 3rd person with similar tastes to recommend this series over the last several weeks, so I’ll for sure be checking it out SOON.
You won’t be sorry Jessica! I wouldn’t be pimpin’ it out (like Carmel says…haha) if I didn’t think it was that special. Hope you enjoy it when you get to it!
YAY! I’m so happy to see you signed-up to help Linda pimp the Grigori Legacy; it’s such a fab series! And, she’s a local author. Well, for me anyway which is uber rare. I wish I had the time to participate in this scavenger hunt… stupid wedding… *grumbles*
Go get married already so you can participate in all the cool events! LOL I really love this series so I had to participate 🙂
I consider you a friend, too, Lori — and I look forward to meeting you one day! Thank you so much for the pimping efforts!!! 🙂
Any time Linda…thanks for writing such fabulous books! <3
I have read the first two books so I am anxiously awaiting the third book.
Newbie to the series and if I do get the chance I’ll make sure to ask you for tips & stuff. Blessed Good Friday to you!
The first book, Sins of the Angels, reads most like a cop thriller/procedural. As the series continues, the paranormal aspect becomes more dominant. Either way, the character building and world building are incredible. If you haven’t yet, read the series.
