yep! I have no problem opening it and exiting. Are you using an e-reader or your phone? Maybe you accidentally deleted it?
I asked for help from smash words and they helped me out I think I figured it out! Thansk for the help tho!!!!
Has anyone had a chance to start the book yet? :)
Yay! :) Excited to see what people think of it/ have to say!

It's actually pretty Great! I'm almost half way through
I mean what's best than Book which is about a world shattered by demons then after a while the angels/seraphs came, who had to "Protect" the humans, but then turned out to be no better than the demons themselves! I still don't know if the angels are bad or not, But i'm eager to find out :)
Ahhh yes to trust them or to not? And which ones to trust? So much uncertainty :)
Can't wait for you to read even more and see what happens!
What do you think of Nathanial?

ahh, Nathanial, Nathan.. He's bae .. I Think so far, as long as he doesn't mess up something, and turn out to be the bad guy xD
He's kind of mysterious, you never know what's on his mind.
I finished it and it was absolutely Amazing!
:) :) :) Thank you @Yali for giving my book a chance!!! I am so very happy that you enjoyed it! :)
Book: In the Crossfire Author: Yelena Lugin
Rating: 4 Out of 5 Stars
I would like to thank Yelena Lugin and YA Kingdom Book Club for giving me the chance to read this book for free.
The first thing that really drew me into this book was the world. Yelena has created a very complex and dark world that was very attractive to me. I loved all the different levels of demons and the different ways you could kill them. Yelena clearly took the time to make all of these little details fit. I just love the idea of the Seraphs, the Hellions, and the humans all living together in what is a dark society. The book takes place about forty years after the Seraphs and Hellions arrive on Earth, which is perfect. They are still kind of new to the planet, but have been there long enough to establish a rather elaborate system of government.
Sky and her friends are amazing leads. They are all strong fighters, who know how to take care of themselves. Their friendship runs so deep and their closeness makes them stronger, which is why the things that happen between them are kind of shocking to me. I just love how Yelena gives the reader a chance to see these bonds and how these bonds change/remain the same as the events in the book go on. I also love how as the book goes on, Sky learns to see that things may not be as black and white as she first thought and that society is actually a lot more complex than she first thought.
The secondary characters and the male lead are also well done. There are a lot of characters in this one, but I found them all to be very important. One thing that I really liked about this large cannon was how Yelena made them all different. I loved seeing their strengths and weaknesses come out.
Nathan was a great male lead. He seems like a likable enough character, but there is something about him that has me worried. I just don't know if I buy that he is as good as he wants to come across. Samuel is the other character that I'm not too sure about.
There is a little bit of romance in this one, but it is not the sole focus of the book. There is a lot of build up for later books. So, if you are looking for a story that has an ending, don't read this one.
So, why the four star rating? I'm not going to lie. This book just was not a five star rating for me. I loved it, but compared to the other books that I have given the five star, this one just did not make the cut. First off, I did see some small mistakes in grammar and all that fun stuff. Second, everything just seemed to fall in place at the end too easily. Now, things may get rougher in the next book-I really don't know.
Overall, not a bad read. Yelena does have a bright future ahead of her if she keeps putting books out like this one.
(Review is also on Amazon and my blog.)
Thank you Serena!And yes things fell together in this book at the end because I wanted an ending that was sort of like an end to one chapter of Sky's life, all wrapped up and finished
Don't worry there will be a lot of problems in the next one.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!!!

No problem...When does the second book come out?
Not sure. I am halfway finished with it.Idk if I should space it put so it comes out one year after this one. Or if it's finished in time then just 6 months after this one.
I did have the title at least figured out,
Breaking of Chains.
I'm super excited about it

You'll have to let me know when it's out. I think this series is going to get a lot more interesting and exciting as it goes on.

Book 2 is certainly just as entertaining as the first. Possibly even more! :) So much going on in Sky's life all the time
