Xandir has been exiled to earth until the end of time. But when his cherub trainee disappears, Xandir makes a deal with rogue angels and giants that could restore life to the mortal woman he loves and end his assignment as a destroying angel in exchange for helping them bring about the end of the world and all of mankind.
I wanted to like The Last Archangel more than I did. The premise of the story had such promise, but I never felt it was fulfilled. The novel felt disconnected to me, as it jumped from scene to scene and brought in so many different characters. I felt I was on overload trying to keep up a lot of the time.
Now for the good stuff. Some of those many characters were great! Xandir, the not your typical angel, was snarky and defensive - yet still a hero. Eden and Judy were strong female characters, kicking demon butts as they went along. My favorite was Jarom, the small cherub with a mighty spirit. The characters save this novel from being a let down for me.

I love your descrpition of Jarom. I'm not fond of books with too many characters, though. Great review.
