In Chicago, something is climbing inside the dying.
A paranormal romance with paramilitary teeth. The competence porn is real. The angel is real. The body count is real. The bond is earned.
Chicago ER attending Dr. Sarah Montgomery has been knowing things before the labs come back — diagnosing internal bleeds her patients haven't bled yet, ordering blood work for symptoms that haven't appeared. She's been calling it intuition for years. It isn't.
When the Fallen Response Unit walks into her hospital chasing a supernatural plague disguised as ordinary tissue necrosis, Sarah learns her diagnostic gift is Fallen-aligned — and that Uriel, the exiled Archangel who founded the FRU after his own Fall, needs her medical eye to see the thing killing his city. Together they hunt a Fallen named Bael through possession victims, hospital wards, and the wreckage of everything Sarah thought she understood about medicine.
Perfect for readers of J.R. Ward, Nalini Singh's Guild Hunter, and Kresley Cole.
You'll devour this if you want:
- A medical doctor heroine whose competence is the entire point
- An exiled Archangel hero with three thousand years of guilt
- A paramilitary fallen-angel ops unit with real team dynamics
- Found family that actually feels like one
- A bond earned through trauma, not handed over in chapter three

Sarah & Uriel A physic doctor and a fallen angel are an amazing pair, that work together in a way that made this story a great read, that I found hard to put down. I have to recommend this as a great paranormal story with a couple that left me wanting more! I Loved It!!! No Spoilers!

Shadow Protocol is an amazingly entertaining Paranormal romance that brings together fallen archangel Uriel and Dr. Sarah Montgomery in a heated Urban Fantasy that for its FMC is going to turn her world every which way but up.Sarah has psychic abilities, Uriel hunts Demons and when they are thrown together by fate or an unseen hand they may just save the world.Absolutely loved this story which was nicely written with perfectly crafted characters who elicited all the emotions as the danger, threats, intrigue, violence, passion, and vulnerability, all coalesce into a story that broke the emotional bank as the action and adventure took over the pages. Word building was imaginative and immersive andI remained firmly within the pages of this narrative until the very last page!I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
This story takes place in Chicago with a physician FMC who has to quickly learn how to navigate her new found abilities. The Fallen MMC comes to help and Sarah the FMC soon realizes there is more then meets the eyes when it comes to the supernatural and to be scared of what is lurking in the shadowsSome action, some spice and true bonding.This book was given to me as an eARC
The book starts off strong and is incredibly engaging, hooking you from the very first pages. Sarah, a doctor with supernatural powers, gets pulled into a mysterious battle between good and evil led by Archangel Uriel. The chemistry between the MMC and FMC is fast-burning and intense.Unfortunately, around the halfway book, I felt the plot lost its way and started going in circles. There was a bit too much focus on feelings at the expense of important plot points, leaving some things unclear. Uriel’s role also diminished significantly, which was a bit disappointing.Overall, it's an interesting read with some great details, and Meredith definitely deserves a full star on her own!I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.Rating: 3.8 / 5 ⭐Spice: 2 / 5 🌶️
ARC copy- Initially I thought I was going to like this book, but honestly as it went on it wasn't for me. It delves too deep into medical jargon (which I get since the MFC is a surgeon, but it seems way too forced at times). It also seemed to drag on for way too long. Interesting idea & premise, but I just couldn't get behind it's execution.
