Review Quotes:
"An
entrancing modern fairy tale of star-crossed love, mysterious family secrets, and imaginative, otherworldly warfare. I loved the intricate world built on Iranian mythology, and I'd read a million more volumes. An
unforgettable, devastatingly written, oh-so-satisfying romance." --Alexene Farol Follmuth,
New York Times bestselling author of
Twelfth Knight
"
Delicious paranormal romance meets (literal) deadly stakes. Sara Jafari's prose is angelic, and her plot twists are downright devilish. You've never seen star-crossed-lovers like this before!" --Lydia Gregovic,
New York Times bestselling author of
The Weaver Bride
"
Atmospheric,
romantic and reminiscent of everything I loved about paranormal romances in the early 2000s. Nostalgic and simultaneously inventive, Jafari gives readers all that we've been missing since the days of Twilight, Mortal Instruments, and Vampire Academy. Get ready for the hoa hoa hoa era of paranormal romance to return!" --Soraya Bouazzaoui, author of
Aicha

Heavensent & Hellbent had me completely engrossed from the first page. Captivating, enchanting, and
utterly brilliant. Sara is an incredible storyteller, and I will be eagerly awaiting her next book!" --Radiya Hafiza, author of

Heavensent & Hellbent is a pacy and
thrilling YA romantasy that spans generations, crosses continents, and breaks boundaries. Sara Jafari delivers an
epic love story full of heart, danger, and unforgettable characters--the kind of book that pulls you in completely and keeps you turning pages long past your bedtime. And if Zain, the beautiful male protagonist, is based on a real person--I'm first in line to meet him!" --Tasneem Abdur-Rashid, author of
