Fallen Legacies #1-4
Fallen Legacies: Books 1-4
A realm of monsters. A world of lies. She belongs to both.
Her entire life, Emberly has been told she’s one of two a liar or insane. Some days she wishes that were true. It takes being dragged to a secret training academy for the supernatural to unravel the mystery of why she sees monsters no one else does.
Surprisingly, she's no more human than her captors—an elite race of angel-born warriors called Nephilim.
The deadliest of them all is an arrogant shape shifter, Steel. He’s gorgeous, lethal, hot-headed . . . and convinced she’ll be the death of them all.
Maybe he’s right, because soon after Emberly arrives the monsters that were hunting her breach the academy walls. Her only hope of saving her new friends and herself is learning how to control her powers before the demons destroy not only the Nephilim race, but the entire world as well.
Enter the spectrum world, a realm in-between worlds where shadow beasts draw blood, reality is a maze of twisted lights and sounds, and life goals are whittled down to just survive .

Did you love Twilight, The Vampire Dairies, and all of the series that followed those? Do you miss them dearly and yearn for a simpler time? Welp! I have the series for you! This is a highly entertaining and light YA urban fantasy series that blends elements of teen drama with a world of angels and demons.
Across its first three books—Stealing Embers, Forging Darkness, and Unleashing Fire—the series follows Emberly, an unhomed teen with a mysterious ability to see monsters. She soon realizes that she is seeing the spirit world and she has to travel to a secret academy for Nephilim.
Stealing Embers is on the lighter side and soon the complexity builds and we are treated to a friend gang on a dangerous quest to save the world from demons. It feels reminiscent of teenage drama shows from the early 2000s, complete with angels, demons, and high-stakes. It’s engaging and enjoyable, a light and entertaining younger-slanted YA urban fantasy that provides a pleasant escape. The story doesn’t delve into heavy themes, making it perfect for a fun read.
Forging Darkness takes on a slightly more serious tone while maintaining the fun and lightheartedness of the first book. The characters have more room to grow, and the world-building deepens. Learning more about Emberly’s past was intriguing. However, Silver felt more like a plot device than a fully fleshed-out character. Thorne was the highlight of this book, bringing much-needed depth.
Unleashing Fire's world-building continues to expand, and Emberly undergoes further character development. The secondary characters often overshadow the main ones. The action scenes are more engaging, and the slightly darker tones enhance the story. While Steel is mostly likable, a different love interest for Emberly would have been more compelling, in my opinion. Nonetheless, this book remains a quick and enjoyable read.
Supernova focuses on Nova and Thorne, two of the more fascinating characters from the previous books. This stand-alone novel is fast-paced. Thorne’s backstory is particularly compelling, and Nova’s confidence is refreshing compared to Emberly’s character. The return of the rest of the gang adds a nostalgic touch. Their story was complex and I was glad that they got their own book to shine.
Overall, the story is engaging and light, with enjoyable character growth and slowly deepening world-building, though it often prioritizes fun over complexity. Secondary characters frequently shine, and the action ramps up as the series progresses. The omnibus is a perfect choice for readers seeking a quick, enjoyable escape without incredibly heavy themes. If anyone misses the teen drama of their youth and wants some interesting world-building, this is a fun ride and a solid choice. I ate it up like it was a meal of ice cream. This was an amazing palate cleanser series with high stakes and I enjoyed every second.
I loved the two narrators on the audiobook. They did a wonderful job!

The Fallen Legacies Omnibus by Julie Hall is a 1600-page volume packs all four books of the series into an action-filled collection that keeps you hooked from start to finish!
Hall's worldbuilding, especially in the first book, lays a solid foundation that makes the rest of the series easy to follow and enjoyable. The story’s relentless action and well-paced storytelling, combined with multiple POVs, add depth and keep the narrative engaging.
The main characters are likeable and well-developed, making it easy to invest in their journeys. Emberly's journey from a misunderstood girl to a powerful force among Nephilim is incredible. But for me, the character I connected with the most was Steel as he navigated difficult emotions throughout!
I felt like some plot points are left hanging and the language feels dated at times, these minor issues don’t detract much from the overall enjoyment.
The stunning artwork in this edition is a visual treat that enhances the reading experience. If you’re a fan of action-packed fantasy with strong characters and solid worldbuilding, this omnibus is a must-read!

What an amazing adventure this series was. I don't read a lot of YA books much anymore since I'm so far removed from my teen years and I just struggle to connect fully with incredibly young characters but, I really enjoyed this series. Yes, there was no spice and I think only one curse word the entire series which kept making me go "just say bullshit! or shit! or fuck! you're teenagers!" 😂 but, I get it's YA.
I loved the story, I haven't read a lot of angel/Nephilim romances so I enjoyed jumping into this world. I enjoyed the banter and laughs the characters gave me. Emberly was a girl who was raised in foster homes and took off to live on the streets because she never fit in and she was threatened with mental hospitals because she would have moments where she'd be cut and beat up and no one ever saw anything happen to her so they figured she did it to herself. She finds out she's part angel and had been phasing between realms where she was attacked by fallen angels and monsters and is taken to an academy for Nephilim to learn and hone their powers. There she meets a wonderful group of people who become family to her. She meets Steel who she's drawn to immediately but, he is quite mean to her early on. We find out his reasons and why they are drawn to each other and along the way a huge war breaks out between the fallen, forsaken, Nephilim and humans. Lots of twists and turns. Many moments that will make you chuckle and fall in love with each character and root for them and even some sadder moments.
I adored Tinkle's character. Our Celestial being who is a guardian to Emberly and can change into any animal he wants. He was an absolute hoot and always put a smile on my face.
I loved Emberly and Steel's growth as characters and their relationship. They were never really enemies but, they had some dislike going on early on that became friendship then quickly turned into more while they were battling their connection.
And I honestly really enjoyed our villains as well. Seraphim and Thorne. Thorne had so many layers and I love a bad boy who we don't know if he's going to redeem himself or not.

Thank you so much to 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐥 & 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚 for my Advanced Reader Copy of 𝐅𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐍 𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐀𝐂𝐈𝐄𝐒: 𝐎𝐌𝐍𝐈𝐁𝐔𝐒 𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍! This review is comprised entirely of my own thoughts & opinions, & is based on the copy I received.
Ahhh this entire book, and series, was absolutely amazing!! This omnibus edition contains all 4 books in Julie Hall’s Fallen Legacies series, Stealing Embers, Forging Darkness, Unleashing Fire, & Supernova. There is SO much to unpack for this review because it’s basically reviewing 4 books, so I’ll keep it as condensed and spoiler free as possible!
First and foremost, Emberly & Steel are absolutely everything to me. I LOVED them so much, and I honestly loved the entire gang, especially Nova in the last book! Emberly’s journey in this series was so beautiful and inspiring. I loved seeing her transformation to the powerful force among the Nephilim we see her as in the last book. I love the chemistry between Steel and Emberly and the romance between them was just so amazingly written! The slow burn was perfect, and created such a delicious combination of angst and tension between these two!
The world building and magic system was expertly described and written and I thought it was so easy to fall into this world and story. The characters were lovable and relatable, and so incredibly easy to connect with. I think Julie did an AMAZING job with this story and I loved the way everything wrapped up in the end! Theo progression of the plot and the action ramped up with each book, and I loved each book in the series more than the last!
I absolutely cannot recommend this series enough! It was everything I was looking for and there isn’t a single thing about it I didn’t love!

Book 1
I want to say I loved this, but maybe coming out of reading a great series to this series was not such a good call.
FMC is 17, runaway, homeless, and likely virgin. She is smart, scrappy, and has been haunted by demons in a world she thinks she can only see.
It all changes, and she's in an academy, and it's not exactly a bully situation, more a guy being cold and arsehole like. The guy is Steel, who is like 19, I think.
This book focuses more on her settling in to what she is and this new world, found friends, and confirmed enemies.
The side characters, the twins (both sets), her roommate and Steels friend ( who wants him) have great chemistry and banter and they help with building the FMC and MMC as well as the world for me.
But!!! I got bored so many times. it was only towards the end I was suddenly all ears. Mainly because of Tink, he is funny, and now I want to read more just to laugh at his antics. There is also a major revelation or two towards the end... but it was just meh for me. I was at the point of calling it quits after book 1, but Tink...yes, I will carry on for Tink.
No Smut, or Spice, kisses and neck touches, no under belt or clothes spice. I think I would have liked this series when I was a teen. Anyway, onwards, for Tink!
3 stars
......................
Book 2
DNF, read 2 out of 4 books
may come back to it... maybe...
okay, so pretty much nun area in smut and okay plot, fun characters but just so meh. Good action moments, monsters, and found cosy friend and family vibe. Guess the whole plot feels like if it had been more in some specs enough to feel more new adult and less teen area, and it would have been a much better read.
3 stars
................
Book 3
A day later....I came back! book 3 has less meh moments and more intriguing and heart gasping moments. more; so close! oh no don't! awww that is sweet! lmao (why are you red, are you holding a fart in?) damn them twins lol!!! and more...oooo something is somethinenig over their 🧐! And me shouting Tinkle!!!!!!!!!! 🥹😭
The spice remains PG and now I'm use to it. there was a moment I thought...oooo, but nope. Level of PG steam... 50% less steam than Twilight series, but 90% healthier romance.
Book 3 brings overall star to 3.3 stars
Book 4 is Nova story.

Honestly I am hooked.
I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review, and I mean it with all of my soul that this is my first five star read of this year. I wish I could talk on and on about this book but I'll simply say just read it!!
The following review is based on book one, as I don't want to spoil anything!!
Em lives on the streets, she’s hiding out and waiting to turn 18 so she doesn’t get put back into foster care. But her whole live flips upside down when she is kidnapped by people promising to help her. People who say they are the same and can teach her who she is. Because somewhere in her ancestry a fallen angel had a baby with a human, which means she’s a Nephilim.
Being brought into this school so she can learn who she is and the powers she might have she meets some friends along the way.
Ash, her roommate and quickly her best friend and almost a sister.
Sterling, an absolute flirt and I swear his never said anything serious.
Grayson, twin to sterling and almost the opposite, apart from the need to pull pranks and have fun.
Nova, their relationship starts off oddly but quickly they become solid friends. Nova is easily an absolute badass who won’t take shit from no one.
Steel, enemies-hating-to-lovers-friends-enemies then maybe friends again? They’ve got a complicated relationship and I can’t wait to see how it unfolds as I keep reading.
Also available for Kindle Unlimited subscribers as well!!!

I loved them when I read the books as they were released and I loved them when I got a chance to listen to the audiobook of the omnibus.
Emberly has been running to survive and held on to her freedom for a long time after bouncing from foster home to foster home. She can see creatures others can't. She's been trying to tell herself it's all her imagination. Until she's brought to an academy which houses and trains Nephilims. She learns about this new world she's a part of. She decides to stay and learn about her powers and how to use them.
She finds friends for the first time but not everyone is gleeful. Steel, a gorgeous, lethal, hot-headed fighter is convinced she'll be the death of them all. The Forsaken, their enemy seems set on kidnapping her and people get hurt in the middle.
An attack reveals a truth hidden till now and reveals the truth about Emberly's parents. Now, Emberly has decisions to make. The world was fascinating from the beginning.
The plot was detailed and the writing was seamless. It was easy to get invested in Emberly's life from the beginning. I enjoyed watching her grow and get used to her surroundings, find people to rely on and accept help and love from others.
The relationship between Steel and Emberly was so much fun to watch. Their bickering and sarcastic retorts were the highlight of my read. Adding Emberly's friends to the equation gave a fun and entertaining read which was an easy page turner!
I am a huge fan of found family and enemies to lovers trope. The audiobook narrators have done a fantastic job bringing these characters to life. I felt Emberly was snarkier in the audiobook and Steel’s determination and character shone throughout.
Thank you so much to the author and BOMM for giving me a chance to listen to the audiobook ARC!

Julie’s writing made it so easy to fall immediately and deeply into this world of winged heroes, villains, and monsters.

I'm pretty sure this is how this series should be read: one book after the other, all packed together so as not to misplace them or stop. I had previously read these books individually, but the author's writing is so good she had me immersed in the story again (or revisiting my favorite moments). This series packs so much action, incredible characters with the best found-family, and perfectly YA-appropriate romance, while this edition allows ebook readers to experience all the beautiful art the author commissioned for her paperbacks too!! 😍 And did I mention the extra content/bonus scenes? If you're a fan of this author/series, you can now find it all (origin stories as well as Steel and Emberly's not-so-meet cute from his POV) in one neat package. I'll be posting the links to my reviews below for those concerned about content, but if you love this author's brand of action and romantasy, you're in for an epic ride (from Stealing Embers to Supernova 💜).

Hi Book Besties!💕🌻
I am so excited to share my review of the completed Fallen Legacies series by the lovely @julie.hall.author😍
A Giant thank you to @bookofmatchesmedia for the gifted ARC! This is an Omnibus of The Fallen Legacies series and it was Amazing!
This series was sooo good!! I had to force myself to put it down so that I could, you know, go to work and do daily boring things!
Em, a runaway orphan, suspects that there’s much more to the world than most people know due to her ability to see so much more than the average person as well as her advanced speed and strength, but those abilities are what keeps her running and hiding. Until she’s found and brought into a school for people like her so that she can be taught how to utilize her abilities. Em meets Sterling and a group of friends that take her in and befriend her, however even in this place she’s an outsider, different. The first 3 books of this YA series focuses on Em and Sterlings journey along with their friends. Book 4 concludes the story amazingly but focuses on Nova and her journey wrapping up the entire series in the best way!
I truly loved this series. It was amazingly written and I did not want to put it down. Everyone should check it out.

Fallen Legacies: A Complete Enemies to Lovers Urban Fantasy by Julie Hall is the first time I've reviewed a series in the omnibus format. If you're not familiar with the term, it means the entire series is being published as a single work. As a reader of many incomplete fantasy series, I truly appreciated the fact that I know I was getting a complete story when I started reading the books.
The first three books center mostly around Emberly, an orphan who has spent her entire life being told she was either a liar or crazy because she could see the supernatural world. Emberly finds herself thrust into a world of angel-born warriors who battle against the monsters she has been able to see her entire life and it's there she meets Steel. He is an angel-born shifter who believes Emberly to be a danger to everyone at the academy she is brought to in order to learn about her own abilities.
Overall I very much enjoyed this series. It is well written and the plot will draw you in and keep you turning the page. It also moves and a perfect pace, making it a relatively fast read despite its length. If you like a fantasy that makes use of the enemies to lovers and found family tropes definitely check this one out.

Fallen Legacies omnibus gives us books 1 to 4 in the Fallen Legacies Series. I loved this series. While the final book is Nova's story, the first three books follows Emberly who after living on the street, finds out she's part Angel and is taken to a Nephilim academy to learn about her powers.
We are introduced to a cast of memorable characters some of who become friends others maybe enemies and a possible love interest, who all bicker back and forth making it all amusing to read.
The story was well written and easy to follow along. It was fast paced, and action packed with twists and turns along the way and in no time I was fully invested in these characters. Emberly's character development from a misunderstood girl to a powerful force among the Nephilim was incredible to see and the author did a wonderful job with the world building and found family aspect of the story.
This YA romance was a wonderful series that was highly entertaining. I enjoyed it and would highly recommend it to YA fantasy lovers
🎧🎧
The audiobook was fantastic. It was narrated in Dual POV by Vanessa Moyen + Adam Gold.
They did an excellent job bringing the story to life. They brought out the varying personalities of the characters and made to story that much more fun to listen to.

The Fallen Legacies is a completed series and I got to listen to the audiobook! I love the dual narration - it really brings the characters to life! This is YA but I really enjoyed it! All 4 books together is about 40 hrs and 20 min long.
I sometimes struggle with fantasy audiobooks (the world building and magic systems are a lot) but since I've already read this series I could just enjoy listening to this! It was so much fun!!
Emberly and Steel are such fantastic characters! I fell in love with both of them! They're real and flawed and I love that about them! The side characters are fantastic and sometimes try to steal the show! It's fast paced and exciting!! I highly recommend this series!!
Seriously, pick this up if you like:
😇 enemies to lovers
🖤 touch her and die
😈 strong stabby FMC
😇 found family
🖤 academy setting
😈 angels vs demons
😇 forced proximity
🖤 forbidden love
😈 morally gray/anti-hero MMC
😇 secretive MMC
🖤 end of world high stakes
😈 chosen one
😇 soulmates

I had the opportunity to listen to this four book series on audio, and I'm really happy that I did! I'm still pretty new to audiobooks, but I enjoyed listening to this series in that format. This was my first time reading the Fallen Legacies series, and I really liked it. I enjoyed the story, it takes us on quite the journey. I haven't read anything with angels and nephilim in a while, and it was nice to change it up a bit. Throughout the four books there are multiple pov given. I really enjoyed this cast of characters and I've come to adore so many of them. So much happens in this series. It's definitely a roller-coaster ride. There were some happy moments, and there were some heartbreaking ones. There are so many good tropes included. My absolute favorite one from the series however was the found family trope! I have no idea if it's been said or not, but I'm really curious if there will be any other standalones added to the series like there was with Supernova.
If this series sounds like something you'd enjoy, I'd recommend checking it out sometime!

I had the opportunity to review the audiobook version of this book, and I loved it. It was produced very well and I enjoyed the narration. It was done very well and I liked how the whole series were in one. Finish one book - start the next book!
I haven’t read a ton of Nephilim/Angel type fantasies so I was excited to dive into this series. Our FMC Emberly has had a difficult life but she finds herself attending a training academy for supernatural beings. She strives to learn about her history and hone her powers. A group of peers becomes her found family and she meets Steel, our MMC. This is more of a dislike to allies to friends to lovers progression but the banter and slow burn make it so worth it! These books are full of twists and turns as the world deals with war and conflict. The characters are complex and really add layers to the story and are interesting. I really enjoyed the series and the audiobooks.

Basically a digital special edition with lots of extras, yes please! Add in a captivating and intriguing storyline, I'm here for it all!
Highly recommend if you enjoy YA Urban Fantasy that includes action, humor, and romance. It's filled with so many emotions...joy, sadness, encouragement, acceptance, inner strength, heartbreak, bravery, revenge, and redemption with plenty of twists and turns. 'Wow' moments. 'What' moments. Strong world building with beautiful imagery. Strong character development with growth. Strong storyline. This book has it all!
What would you do to save the world? What would you do to save your family? What would you do to save the person you love? What if the monster isn't really a monster?

I greatly enjoyed Emberly, Steele, and the rest of the gang’s journey navigating hidden powers, ruthless monsters, and loss. The story was fast paced and kept me on the edge of the seat as we got further in the plot, especially that third book. But my favorite part? The villain redemption arc.
Supernova is my favorite book in the series and Nova one of my favorite characters. When we first met her, I was afraid this was gonna play out like the cliche animosity between the ex and the FMC. BUT I was so glad to be wrong!! None of that pettiness to be seen here. And Thorne is best discovered on your own. Shoutout to the fiercely loyal animal companions!
The audiobook was binge worthy and the narrators fantastic.
Thanks to the author for the audiobook review copy!

How incredible is this entire series! WOW! The way Julie has kept me wanting more and more is why I loved this entire series.
The FMC is incredible and strong, and you are rooting for her the whole time. I love her growth and strength throughout, and I really cared for what she was going through and how she overcame everything.
I really loved how this had so much angst, suspense and revelations!
I adore slow burn romance.
The plot twists had me on the edge everytime and my heart was racing with each book!
I really enjoyed listening to this entire series and I'm already planning my reread of it!
I devoured the entire series and am obsessed with this book and the author, Julie Hall!

Well done!
I enjoyed this series immensely! The storyline was interesting, and the character growth was very well done. This has become one of my favorite series. I was so sad to finish and say goodbye to these lovable “mix-bag” of characters.
Well done, Julie Hall, and thank you so much for sharing this story with us.
For those interested…
Steam levels (tension, kissing, light touches, flirting, feelings, and desires) are high. Only light touches and swoon-worthy kisses.
Spice levels (actual explicit details, a play-by-play, open door) are extremely low.
I think this would be completely fine for a young person to read.
Enjoy!

Fallen Legacies complete
This is all four books of the fallen legacies series in one place. Emberly always thought she was a human with seeing a strange world until she is kidnapped and taken to an academy where she learns she is a unique nephalim. There are mysteries and secrets all about and an attraction to Steel and alpha hole. Sad to see the world end but enjoyed the journey.

5 Stars does not do this series justice.
I couldn't get enough of Emberly and Steel. Their chemistry from the beginning was evident even when neither wanted to acknowledge it. The entire world building for this series is so in-depth that I felt like I was walking through every scene as if it were playing out right in front of me. Lots of tension, mischief, and adventure along the way. A journey of finding friendship, family, and love.

If you're looking for a fun, YA series that's full of action, adventure, found family, and sass- Look no further! Julie writes the best characters! The kind of characters that feel like friends after you've spent a little time with them. And we can't forget about Tinkle! The best animal sidekick out there! These are fun reads, and the audiobooks are even better!
May 30, 2024
I have read the series with individual books as they got released and I recommend the book to all the fantasy lovers. This enemies to lovers story is fabulous and a big roller coaster with so many ups and downs, happy moments and sad moments that make it a complete package and the writing is amazing too.
All in all it’s a 4.75⭐️ for me.

Great YA
Loved this series heaps!
I adored the found family aspects, the relationships between each of the characters, and of course, the storytelling!
Couldn't put this series down! Although some parts seemed to drag on, it was still a thrilling, joyful and moving ride (I did cry at 4 points during the whole series)
Highly recommend this series!

An action pack trilogy with one novella~.
It is a good YA Romance/ coming of age/ acceptance and found family. A lot of fun and loving characters in this series! World building isn’t too complicated but it’s well rounded. I enjoyed the story and love the characters!
I especially love the novella. Such a good pair.

Absolutely Great Read
This Book has EVERYTHING IN IT ! From Angels - to Fighting- To Love. The Author did a fantastic job describing things in detail, where you feel like you’re living the pages of the story in real time.

Not bad, if you like YA I think you would like this.
This was a solidly YA series, and I’m fairly certain 16 year old me would have been obsessed with it. As an adult, I felt like it was enjoyable. I mean, this is nearly 1600 page and (over 40 hours) and I stuck with it. So 🤷♀️

Fallen Legacies is a 4-book series that will have you constantly brawling!
Ember with her irreverence won me over from the first moment and although all the main characters made me smile, the twins deserve a special place.

Fallen Legacies is an omnibus by Julie Hall that contains 4 books: Stealing Embers, Forging Darkness, Unleashing Fire (all 3 have Emberley as the FMC and Steel as the MMC), and Supernova (a fast paced continuation that focuses on Nova and Thorne).
The series was well paced and the world building was spread out nicely throughout all of the books so it doesn’t feel overwhelming. The character development was enjoyable, if a little rushed at times.
One of the main threads throughout all of the books is found family, and that is easily my favourite trope in a book, so that definitely stood out for me!
As much as I liked Emberley and Steel, the fourth book, Supernova, was my favourite! I loved the way Nova and Thorne interact and developed!
Overall if you like a fast pace, romance, action, The Mortal Instruments vibes, magic academy settings, and soulmates, then Fallen Legacies is definitely worth a read!
