Goodreads Synopsis:

The high-pitched battle is on between powerful angels, sexy demons and innocent humans to dominate a world rife with political intrigue…and to win the heart of one hapless male!

Awyn Gardner will do anything to protect the beautiful mistress of the equally beautiful estate gardens he lovingly tends—even enslave himself to an also beautiful demon bent on world domination! The high-pitched battle is on between powerful angels, sexy demons and innocent people to dominate a world rife with political intrigue…and to win the heart of one hapless human man!

After a fierce battle with Angel Levi, Maria travels to another world, and the secret of 7thGARDEN is fully revealed. Can this realm of gnomes, angels and demons solve humanity’s problems? Or is it just a game board for powerful elites to exploit everyone else? Either way, why are the most tragic historical events being reenacted there…? Will we never learn from history?

Review:

The first half of the volume is the continuation of the fight. We see Iola and Liz giving it their all to finish the fight, and it's very straining to both sides. It's also extremely destructive to the town. Awyn jumps in to help at the end, because he's always been close to them in their other forms. He's got almost too much loyalty, honestly, but it works out well.
But then... In the latter half of the volume, we get to see the angel and demons' real forms. And it utterly confuses me.
Where the series goes next is odd and confusing, and didn't make any sense. When they were just angels and sent back to their terrestrial realm to recoup, I was okay with that. But now it seems that they're actually just playing some interactive game? Which Vyrde is trying to take over from the people who are running it and betrayed her? And yet there are still two versions of Vyrde? I'm just utterly confused, and that makes me wonder if Awyn and the village are really just made up.
I'm not sure how to feel about this, and I'm wondering where the series ends off at.
