A warm welcome to author CC Bridges joining us today for the Blog Tour of Angel Rising.
Welcome CC 🙂
Thank you to Love Bytes for hosting me on this blog tour for Angels Rising! Stay tuned until the end for a giveaway!
If you’ve been following my blog tour, you’ll see that last blog post I talked about one of the main characters in Angels Rising, Uriel. In this post, I want to talk a bit about the other angel in the story: Raphael.
We get a glimpse of Raphael in Exodus. He’s the angel partnered with Uriel. But what does it mean to be partners?
It means that for the past fifteen years, Raphael and Uriel have worked closely together, interrogating suspects who may have violated the Morality Laws. Raphael always played the personable, friendly “good cop” while Uriel played the other side. They know how to rely on each other, almost without speaking. They are a seamless unit, a team.
But unlike Uriel, Raphael did not choose to become an angel. Like the people he interrogates, Raphael was once a man who violated the Morality Laws. His one chance to escape reprogramming was to become an angel. And since that choice, he’s had no memory of who he used to be.
Until now.
Everything has changed for the angels at the start of Angels Rising. And Raphael is right in the middle of it.

Better to reign in hell….
Uriel 3019 has been a cybernetically altered angel since he volunteered for the program fifteen years ago. His devotion to the floating city of Heaven is fierce, and he’ll follow any command he’s given. But Uriel’s orderly world is crumbling. Angels are going mad, even hurting people. Some are rebelling, and the noble families are vying for control—by any means necessary.
Uriel’s latest assignment brings him into a secret society, where his partner, Raphael, is working for freedom and equality for all angels. Could their group be responsible for the angels’ recent erratic behavior? Uriel is determined to find out—and report on his findings. But he doesn’t count on Raphael’s confession—that he has feelings for Uriel—or the memories slowly starting to return from the time before he became an angel.
Is he on the right side? Does he dare to stand against Heaven, even if doing so will save his fellow angels from becoming soulless automatons? Uriel has to decide if his loyalty belongs to his superiors… or to the angel who’s stolen his heart.
