4.2 out of 5 stars 81 ratings
Leaving her broken home and shady past behind, Ivy Harris is determined to make something of herself. Her new acquaintance, Jack Roe, is irritating and arrogant with a womanizing reputation. Despite his secretive behavior and constant pursuit of her, Ivy finds herself falling for him. When Jack’s secrets are revealed, Ivy discovers her life isn't her own as she's trapped within a conflict between beings of light and darkness.

After a series of dangerous encounters threaten her existence, she finds comfort from a mysterious stranger and gains the loyalty of unexpected forces. The walls Ivy has secured around her crumble in the wake of tragedy, and the devotion of her friends provide her with the family she's longed for. With their safety and her survival contingent on her actions, Ivy has no choice but to become the force of nature she's destined to be.

    5.0 out of 5 stars one of the best books i've read this year.

    I was going to read this in a group, Reading 3 chapters a day, Yay as soon as I started reading I didn't stop (except when I had to feed my kids lol).
    This was a fantastic book. It's hard to believe this is the author 1st book. It was so good.

    Ivy was a rebellious teen, she loves to street race her car. Then one day she crashes, she is hurt be not badly. She also finds out the she was adopted as a baby. She feels like she don't even know who she is anymore. She decides to move and go to collage. Once there, she meets Jack, at a street race. She's not racing, but Jack is and he can't be beat. Ivy thinks he's a player, and a jerk. But soon she realizes she might have been wrong about Jack, she is drawn to him. Ok I'll stop there because I don't want to ruin the story for anyone, But a whole lot happens that makes this a awesome story.

    There is a twist, that Ivy may not be who she thinks she is. GRAB THIS BOOK!!! This is a fantastic book. The author tells a story that sucks you in and then spits up out. You'll laugh (alot) and cry over the things that are happening. The only bad part is now I have to wait till December to read the next book.

    4.0 out of 5 stars 4.5* Exciting beginning to this trilogy....

    4.5*

    Ivy Harris is a young woman on a mission. She has left her, less than happy early years, to make a solid go at a fun and brightly lit future. She leaves behind her adoptive parents and a lifestyle that could have easily ended her life, and has gone off to University to major in music.
    She has joined a band called 'The Red', who's lead singer, Alice, is Ivy's roommate and best friend. Alice and Ivy get along great together, which is wonderful for Ivy, as she has never really had any close girlfriends. Alice has a boyfriend named Eric, and the three friends make quite a team.
    Unfortunately, all is not perfect in Ivy's new world. She is plagued by a reoccurring nightmare that she cannot interpret. She drinks and smokes, both cigarettes and pot, in an attempt to cope with various problems that she has.
    About a month after Ivy's relocation she agrees to attend a street racing event with Alice and Eric. Here she meets Jack Roe... Jack is a great guy. Gorgeous and a little arrogant.... He is everything that Ivy needs and NOTHING that she thinks she wants. They are instantly attracted to one another which immediately puts Ivy on the back foot. She cannot understand why Jack makes her feel the way he does, and she wants nothing to do with him. The only problem with this plan of hers is the fact that Alice and Eric are friends with Jack. A bet between Ivy and Jack has some unforeseen repercussions for them both.
    Ivy has a number of issues to work through and as time progresses, she realises that she has much more to deal with than she originally thought. She discovers a whole different world within our world. Secrets and lies and betrayals lead her to discover who she really is and her part in the ongoing battle between good and evil.
    I loved Ivy. She is intelligent and clever, talented, sassy and strong, she is perfectly imperfect and you can't help but love her. Although she is quite capable of taking care of herself, she is smart enough to know when to ask, and when to accept help from others.
    There are wonderful support characters in this story. An entire tribe of unexpected hero's.
    All does not go smoothly for our heroine and her friends though. Their losses are painful and seem unnecessarily cruel, in some ways, as is the way of life... There are confusing mixed emotions for her to navigate and you will likely want both of the men in Ivy's life to come out with her heart, as both are deserving of her love.
    This is such an involved tale. There is an incredible amount going on. The characters are well developed, it is well written and action packed. This is my first journey into the writing of Valerie Roeseler, it will not be my last. I'm very much looking forward to the next instalment of this trilogy.

    5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books I've read... Period!

    Midnight Divine is the first book in the Helio series by Valeria Roeseler, and I have to say if book one is any indicator, readers are in for a spectacular, sexy, suspenseful ride! The story centers around a Ivy, one of the more imperfect heroines you may come across... she smokes cigarettes and pot, drinks, street races cars, plays in a rock band and generally has some deep -seated socialization issues. Her well-disordered life take s turn when she encounters the handsome and mysterious Jack, who just cannot seems to stay away from her. Ivy's inexplicable attraction to him draws her out of her semi-comfortable world and onto a tumultuous and dangerous path toward her unknown destiny.

    I loved this book so much! Angsty and sexy, intense and romantic, with angels and demons and griffins (oh my!)... I cannot wait for the next installment to drop! If you enjoy contemporary fantasy with and edgy, angelic twist, Midnight Divine should be at the top of your reading list.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Has potential...
    Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2016
    I want to first state that this book was just not my kind of book. I thought several times about not finishing it, simply because it was a little too NA angsty for my tastes, and full of references to music and street racing that I am either just too old for or too out of the loop to get. I feel with a better target audience it could have a higher rating, and I even found myself recommending it to someone who happens to love NA/YA style angst. It just wasn’t my personal cup of tea.

    Still, I found myself holding on to it, and couldn’t quite force myself to put it down. It had enough of a unique and intriguing story line that I just needed to know what happened. Of course, it’s book one of a trilogy so nothing was truly finished, and I do believe I’ll find myself reading the rest of them – or at least giving them an honest attempt.

    It had a wonderful paranormal/fantasy plot that evolved gradually in a mysterious reveal. There were a few twists and turns that weren’t terribly difficult to predict, and a typical NA trilogy triangle that still needs to be resolved. The heroine, Ivy was on one hand a “kick ass and take names” feisty woman, then on the other a hurt and scared little girl terrified to trust. Seeing her evolve into a strength that was cultivated by her acceptance of the love of friends and family was a moral unto itself.

    I would definitely recommend this one to young adults, and those who appreciate the young adult genre. It has a lot of potential as a series, and I’d love to see it follow through. - GMB

    OMG. I have waited to start this series until the final book was about to come out. I had a feeling I would love this book and it didn't disappoint. This is an epic battle of good versus evil. Can't wait to start the second book. I highly recommend this book. It will keep you on the edge of your seat.

    I absolutely loved this book, the author has such a vivid imagination, and her characters literally jump out of the page at you....I couldn't put it down, and finished it in one go, who needs sleep anyway, when you can be drawn into a world so exciting it can take you through every emotion imaginable... Brilliant!!

    I can't talk this book up enough! I had heard of it but I hadn't bought it yet. Valerie Roeseler popped up in one of the Facebook groups I follow and mentioned a group read she was doing and the rest is history!

    This book is Ivy's journey of self discovery and what some authors take multiple books to accomplish, Valerie has done in one without it seeming rushed in any way.

    It has action, romance, fast cars and lots of characters that you will fall in love with. There was a tear or two snuck in there too!

    Valerie also has this neat trick of picking up the smallest piece of information and making it important as the story progresses..... I missed some of them and found myself turning back the pages!

    Gilded Inferno can't come out soon enough!

    If you have this somewhere on your TBR list, I recommend you bump it up to the top and if it's not, ADD IT NOW!

    I was gifted a copy of this book but I've actually purchased it now, even though I already have it, hopefully that speaks just as loudly as any of the words in this review!
