Fallen #1-2
The Fallen: The Fallen Series Parts 1 and 2
This is a forbidden love story between a Nephilim (Half angel–half human Liam) and the human (Alana) he is trying to protect. Liam grew up in a Guardian sanctuary raised by Idris (their leader) because his father betrayed the Guardians and was stripped of his wings, sending him on the path to the Fallen Ones (angels who have been stripped of their wings, but still had power—dark power). Liam has always fallen shy of perfection, and one of his mistakes brings him to Alana. While spending time guarding Alana from those trying to harm her, Liam finds himself growing closer to his human side—and to Alana. He is torn between following in his father’s footsteps and fulfilling a powerful prophecy. Time is running out, and a decision has to be made. Will he choose love or destiny?
Part 2 Embers life has been turned upside down. Everything she has ever known has been a lie. With her new powers, she feels as if she could do anything. Instead of choosing a college, she is left choosing between good and evil. But the line between good and evil starts to fade, especially when her heart is torn between an angel and a demon. An Uprising is coming.

**Spoilers in 2nd half of review**
Fallen:
Who doesn’t love a good Guardian vs Fallen Angel story? This book definitely falls into that category, but with a twist thrown in. How about some vampires and a werewolf? Chaos is bound to arise…
I love watching the story unfold from the viewpoint of both Alana and Liam. I get to see what is motivating them. Why certain choices are made while alternatives are thrown by the wayside.
Poor Liam, he tries to help. He wants to do what he feels is right, but somehow everything ends up wrong. (I can soooo relate!) He has spent his life in the Sanctuary library reading and learning. He feels the need to get out and learn more about humans first hand, not just vicariously through eons of notes and reports. He is called on for minor missions. He has yet to be assigned his own larger mission. It’s not his fault he was born different. Since inadvertently meeting Alana, all he wants to do is keep her safe.
Something is oddly unique about Alana. There was mention of things being different after “the accident”, but I haven’t come across any details yet. All she deems important is studying so she can maintain her GPA, and then follow it up by attending med school. Alana doesn’t have the time or patience for all this “bad guy” stuff. I’m eager to learn the depth of Alana’s story.
Lexi, Alana’s best friend and college roommate is definitely a party girl. The girls have been together for ages. Even though they are complete opposites, they feel more like sisters than friends. I feel there’s something more going on with Lexi than what’s being shown at face value.
Uprising:
Ember, high school student, sure is a spitfire. Her level of self-esteem is nothing to laugh at, but she does go into beast-mode when strange things begin to happen. She’s even more frustrated when nobody answers her questions.
Another addition to the story is Atlas. His physical description is exactly what you would imagine a guy named “Atlas” would be; absolutely gorgeous in a bad boy sort of way. The entire female student body is swooning. Ember feels there is something different about him, but can’t figure out what. I don’t know either. I have been told I’m getting closer to some explanation.
Poor Liam. He is still in mourning over events from the end of the previous story. He tries to move on. He learns more about his new position. He travels. He reads. Sadly, I don’t know if he’s even capable of a “happy ever after”. I’ve been rooting for him, though.

I was drawn into this world right away and I couldn't stop reading. They are short but action packed. The author does a good job using few words to build her world and it's characters while still giving you a cohesive plot. I would definitely recommend.
