I simply do not know why it has taken me this long to crack open this book. If I had known it was going to be great, I would have definitely read it sooner.
I loved the characters; they all had a distinct image about them. Roland was so sleek and cool, what with his dreadlocks and laid-backed-ness. Arraine was unusual and I could not quite figure her out. She has a past that no one quite knows about, but she is very friendly which makes her extremely likeable and almost trustworthy.
The writing was fantastic. The shadows really set the tone of the novel, when they come onto the page. There was beautiful imagery that, at times, took my breath away. Fallen gave a certain edge to everything with its nonstop action and likeable characters. Not to mention, there are a considerable amount of hunks in this novel that you will not was to miss.
However, there will always be questions that are not answered. Especially in a book series, of course the first novel will leave us hanging and wondering about some things. The last chapter wraps everything up all nicely, and then the epilogue sweeps on through and unwraps it again. I will definitely be reading the next installment and eagerly awaiting any of the books that release in the series.
These are one of those books that you can read over and over again. It is built in such a way that allows for an easy and fast read that you will never get tired of.
