Celestial Chaos is the first book in the Celestial Chronicles Duet . It's a dark, enemies to lovers, paranormal romance.
Lillie Alexander is a fantasy author living in the picturesque Dorset, South West England. She is an avid reader of books, fictional and non-fictional.
She has always been fascinated by the celestial movements and their impact on humanity's fate, ancients myths and legends that make up the collective unconscious.
When not writing or reading, she loves spending time with her fur babies, listening to music, exploring new places, long walks by the ocean and watching shows on Netflix.
I dare say the ‘celestial� part of the title will give you a hint as to where the storyline may lead. Our FMC Evangeline is tormented by visions that seem to real, so lucid. Her parents end up having her institutionalised where she makes a new best friend. Upon getting out, she works hard to make her living a a painter, to the point of having her art in a gallery. We have Lucian who is a professor, he meets Evangeline by mistake, however this meeting leads us into a whole world of nephilim’s and seraphim’s, secrets lay undiscovered, betrayals uncovered and a past that comes back to haunt.
The story starts off slow paced, building us up into their world, getting faster towards the end of the book but as the back wording has been done, this would make sense. There are small parts of spice, some violence but nothing overly aggressive for me. I would say it’s a good YA read ☺️
The plot of this book moved rather quick and there wasn’t much world building (I’m a sucker for world building). Even without world building, this was a nice read. It moved slow at first and then moved quick, a little too quick for my preferences. It ends on a cliffhanger that I’m not entirely sure how it will be resolved. Definitely makes me interested in reading the next installment of the series. This is a great book to read if you need a break from a long book.
Evangeline is a painter. She also has a gift to see the future. Lucian is a fallen angel. Together they have to defeat archangel Michael. Will they manage to save the world from apocalypse or will they lose against Michael's army? Will their hatred for one another stop them from fulfilling their mission or will it turn into something completely different? Can Evangeline trust Lucian? After all he is a fallen angel... Find out this and more in Celestial Chaos by Lillie Alexander.
It's one of the best books I've ever read. Lillie's writing is so smooth and captivating. Banter between the main characters made me laugh so hard at time. This book is filled with so many emotions. Lillie also found the perfect way to describe the world enough so you can picture it in your head but not too much to overwhelm or bore her readers. I can't wait for the second book already 😍 Definitely favorite read of the month, possibly of the year 😍
I tried hard to get through this book, but it's just not the author style I think my brain agrees to. Not to say it won't be a good book for someone but just wasn't for me.
Lillie has written a beautifully intricate story that follows Lucifier and Evangeline. Evangeline is strong, fiesty and will definitely be a FMC that you'll love! The angst between these two is so hot and I can't wait to see where their relationship goes.
If you love your paranormal romances dark, filled with twists and turns - then look no further. This the first in a duet, so it does end in one hell of a cliffhanger!
I loved EVERYTHING about this book except it was a cliff hanger! I don't normally read cliff hangers but this one was absolutely a page turner and has me up reading and following to see what happens next!!!!.

This is an intriguing start to a new series, bringing a new perspective on the age-old roles the seraphims are cast in. There are a lot of parts very well written, abounding in descriptions and metaphors, where the feelings and the inner struggles of the characters shine through beautifully. The plot is clear, the stakes in the fight between good and evil clearly defined, but there are some inconsistencies in the way things unfold based on what the reactions of the characters should be. Maybe I'm wrong, but some dialogues feel stilted at times, or maybe a little bit disproportionate compared to the perceived guilt of the character or what is he is supposed to have done wrong, like the character is mature but has a childish reaction.
This book ends on a cliffhanger, and I do want to find out what happens next. 3.5 stars
I wasn't too into Lucian and Evangeline. I think that's because Lucian and Evangeline were fighting what they were. There were a couple twists I didn't see coming, and the book ended on a cliffhanger, leaving me wanting more. The first part of the book was a little slow, but the pace picked up. It kept me interested throughout. I'm hoping to see a second book to see the relationship between Lucian and Evangeline grow!
This book definitely kept me on the edge of my seat! It ended on a cliffhanger and I want to know what happens! I only wish the story was more in depth. I feel like there could be even more background information added.

Celestial Chaos By Lillie Alexander A new authors for me and so far I’m loving her work. This story genuinely surprised me since I never read anything like it before. Turns out I like it. Evangeline will have to fight to save the world, a predicament she finds herself in meeting Lucifer. They have to stop the disaster that’s coming. The characters are great and the banter was at times funny but you also felt the undercurrent of attraction these two drew from each other. So excited to see where this will go but we have a cliffhanger here.
Omg a cliffhanger. Just saying but If you don’t like them this ends on one! I will definitely to waiting for the next one to be released, a great captivating read
Loved the book and characters lucien fighting his attraction and evangeline strong willed and sassy. The banter between the two characters made me laugh.
I liked all the complex parts that all fit well together to build up the story.
This is a paranormal romance with angels and humans. The plot centers around fallen angels Lucian and Gabriel and humans Evangeline and Kaelie. The plot is great which was good because there wasn’t a lot of spice. I would call it a simmering romance more than a steamy one. There are also some very dark elements and one extremely dark chapter so mind the TW. It ends in a cliffhanger and I really want to read the next one.
Such a great story line for book one! The hidden secrets with twists and turns keep you on your toes. Evangeline has visions that mark her as “crazy� by her family. These visions turn out to be part of her true identity and what she is destined for. With her new found powers will she be strong enough to protect the ones she loves from evil. This ended on a cliff hanger that I cannot wait to continue reading in book two.
Suspenseful, Emotional, and so hard to put down! This story is only just beginning, but the secrets, the prophecy, the romantic tension, it's all to die for! If you want to dive into a story that will leave you reeling and eager for more, pick. This. Up. Now. Humanity hangs in the balance, angels, prophecies, secrets, friendships to fight for, and romance that pulls at your heart for all kinds of reasons. You won't be disappointed.
The plot and characters are so well written, filled with twists and turns that keep you guessing. It moved slowly at first and then picked up paced quickly.
Strong and Feisty FMC✔️ Fallen Angel✔️ Good VS Evil✔️ Paranormal Dark Romance✔️
It ends on a cliffhanger and I cannot wait to see what happens next. Overall, it was a Great Read!!
I absolutely loved this. Saw you did a quote of the book on tiktok and you sold me on it. This book was everything and more. I love books of mythic(or so) beings. I loved everything about this, world building, character progression, the action was really good and spice was nice😉 now need to actually watch this 😜😜😜 however I need the 2nd book like now 😉😉😉😉
Holy crap! What an excellent book! I am utterly speechless after reading and I will warn that it is quite the cliffhanger! I cannot wait to see what happens next. Lillie Alexander outdid herself with this book! The plot and characters are so well written and definitely for me in my feels!
This one starts off a little slow, but it's authentic. If you're into the whole guardian angels thing then this is the book for you. Once the build-up gets going it's a bit of a ride.

This is an entertaining start to a new series with a number of interesting characters. For me, the beginning was a little slow but then it picked up and had me turning the pages to see what would happen next. There were some surprising twists and fair warning, this does end in a cliffhanger.

A fantastic paranormal, enemies to lovers romance full of engaging, interesting characters. I loved all the twists and turns and action. This was totally enthralling with an amazing cliffhanger. Looking forward to the next book.
Experience the captivating journey of Celestial Chaos as Evangeline navigates from a psychiatric hospital to the daunting task of saving the world. Her creative paintings hold the key to her destiny, while her compelling exchanges with Lucian add an extra layer of intrigue. Bright, shiny 5 stars!
If you love fated mates and very angsty enemies to lovers, you might like this book. I found the characters thin and their actions often confusing. I wanted more depth of plot and diversity of characters.
I am so angry at this cliffhanger�.there needs to be a book 2 and soon! This was extremely well written and I love Lucifer’s role as a philosophical professor.
