SPOILERS****SPOILERS****SPOILERS

I don't really have a lot to say about Fallen. I liked the characters, the mystery, and the plot. This is the second fallen angel series I've read. The other being Hush, Hush. I don't want to compare the two very much because it's unfair, but it's nice to know that it's a different storyline with a different authors view on Angels.

I felt what happened to Penn was unneeded, and while I get that deaths in stories can be an important part of the plot, I didn't agree with this one. Maybe it will make more sense later?

I own the whole series already because when I first started buying books, I would buy a whole series at a time. I learned my lesson now after buying the whole iron fey series and not even being able to finish the whole book, and while the story is interesting enough to continue reading, if I didn't already own all the books, I probably wouldn't finish the series.

Overall Rating: 3.5 stars

I thought this book was great! Definitely more of a dark and gothic undertone but still tied together really cool!

It was a fine ya book. It followed basic lines you see often in these books, and even though I like to be surprised with plot twists and unexpected events in stories, a book like Fallen in between is fine with me.

Great book, I’ve found myself loving more and more /spoiler/ fallen angel books, when I first read the book “hush, hush” I didn’t think I’d like it, but I found myself, sad and upset, that the book series came to an end. If you’ve read the hush, hush books you’ll love this, to me it’s definitely not better than the hush, hush series, but one of my friends, says she thinks it is, Agee to disagree. Definitely recommend reading this.
