The Fallen

Angelic Redemption #1

by Angela Horn, Dakota Shepherd

An army of fallen angels walks the Earth, blinded to their pasts. Scattered and lost, the creatures call themselves hunters as they fight evil. To find their way back into Heaven, the fallen must unravel the mystery of what they are and how they lost their grace. The first step on their road to redemption is stopping a rogue hunter.

A year into her life as a hunter, Lila fears nothing. That is, until she receives a vision from the Lord to hunt down a fierce hunter gone rogue. Years earlier, Joaquin was merely a lost man looking for salvation. The feelings awakened inside the assassin after his sign from God will lead him to unbearable suffering and a battle with Lila.

About the author

Note: I publish New Adult romance novels as Bijou Hunter and Christian romantic fantasy as Dakota Shepherd.

I've heard these profiles can be used to mock writers on certain craptactular sites. Better put my best face forward then.

I'm a saint. No really.

I read to the blind, feed the hungry, buy wigs for bald people – you know, real heartwarming shit. I never drink, drive too fast, or fart. I really am a saint.

Try not to be jealous. For some people, like me, sainthood simply comes naturally. It’s not something that can be taught either. Just be happy with yourself, even if you suffer from minor infractions.

Say you’re a public farter. Or you smoked pot that one time because your friend dared you. Or when in a hurry, you speed a little too much and occasionally run over cats. Or maybe for fun, you’ve been known to steal old ladies’ walkers then run away laughing. Embrace your flaws. After all, no one can be perfect like me.

Oh, and along with my saintly works, I write books. Urban fantasy, open roads fantasy, zombie fantasy (as compared to realistic zombie), and young adult fantasy. See the common denominator there?

Of course you do, you public farting, pot smoking, cat killing, old lady tormenting sons of bitches!

When I first started reading this, I wasn't sure how I felt about it, but I am so glad I kept reading. This is basically a story of good vs evil, God vs the devil, and the mystery behind whats going on, who is what, and who is the mastermind. The multiple perspectives threw me at first but than I understood how it was setting up an awesome twist I never saw coming. I can't wait to read the next book. I liked the characters though I feel like, at times, they were all over the place regarding their character. I listed as pnr but I am not sure I would call it that since everyone one is automatically mated up and instantly in love with their "mate" stranger or not. I love the story line, the plot,the idea behind the good vs evil and the hunters. I do feel some of the characters lacked depth or they just were. The deepest characters to me were Joaquin and Heidi. They had dimension and a noticeable character development I enjoyed reading about. The author is really good at hooking the reader. The mystery and story line have me hooked and dying for more. I just hope the characters become more than what they currently are. I look forward to the next book I must know what is going on in the dreams.

I won this book through Goodreads First.

This book is quite different. If you are expecting the same old vampire hunter blah de blah then this isn't it. It has a lot about God and such in it. I am a Christian so this was refreshing for me but it was also quite...weird to be honest. I kept flashing back to Faith Hunter's Rogue Mage series as I read it. I am giving it 3 out of 5 because it didn't totally wow me, but I think I may read this book again just to see if I can get a different perspective on it. Overall, not a bad book, but not my favorite. Also, being self-published (it looks like) the cover didn't pull me in...I know, that shallow, vain girl that likes the covers. I don't judge a book by it's cover, but it certainly doesn't hurt to make something look nice. The end.

First of all, I won this book from Goodreads. It took me a little bit of time to get around to reading it, mostly because it is signed and I am always paranoid about cracking the covers on my signed books. I finally bit the bullet and read it and I am so glad that I did!

I loved Lila's character. I liked that she represented a strong role and stayed strong even after meeting a hottie. I also enjoyed Joaquin and Roman's characters although I am having a hard time deciding which team I am on.

All in all this was a great read. It was different from a normal paranormal romance in that I felt the relationships were more believable. It wasn't just all sex all the time.

I have not read any of Horn's books before, but I will definitely be looking into reading more!

Ok so 1st off I won this (Yeah!), 2nd the author was kind enough to sign it (thank you!). The book had and interesting story line which was great, but the characters left me a little cold. they were a little robotic. Overall I will read the sequel to see where this story will go, hopefully the charcters will become more likable as their charcters develope. Again thank you to the author and Goodreads
