Review of Tara S. Wood's, Lucius; The Fallen

Let me first start off saying I absolutely love the way this author writes. The scenery, the emotions, and the characters are so visual I felt I was inside the book. The sex scenes were well written, not smutty, but just enough to make you blush as you read. Yet, I did not like the story.

I'm a novice when it comes to angel books and maybe that is why I wasn't understanding why things happened as they did. The crossover from biblical figures to Greek mythology, Egyptian Gods, demons, white lighters, magical beings and a little Lara Croft - Indiana Jones action, seemed like it was bad take on an old Charmed TV episode.

I failed to see why these angels were never alone. One rarely had a scene without the other four. They usually got their butts kicked good by one demon against all five of them before being victorious. I needed to understand why guns were the only weapon of these angels. With all the different mythical beings coming into play, I would have loved for the angels to have some dynamic power other than pulling a trigger. The focus on disabilities of the angels was off putting. The jokes about those disabilities got old real quick.

The angels' attraction to the women in the story was clear because it was explained, but I could not grasp why the ladies had an unyielding sexual connection to them which they deemed as love.

The way the women were written, I first thought they were children; teenagers. They were so immature in their actions and dialogue yet always the aggressor when it came to sex and fell in love instantly, although the angel of choice was angered by it. There was not one angel I cared about and each woman got on my nerves.

It hurt me to write this review because the author can paint a picture with words so vividly but halfway through I was more than angered at the direction of the story. I want to find another book she has written, not about the same subject, just so I can enjoy her writing.

My rating is 2.6 overall. ⭐⭐⭐
