While it’s true that in the description says that you can read After The Fall as and stand-alone book, I wouldn’t recommended. Because you’re missing the first half of the story.

We are four years apart from the first book, Lessons In Corruption, when King and Cressida met each other, she it’s his teacher at EBA in that moment, so their love is forbidden. I’m not going to spoiled much about this book, because if you haven’t read it, then you should.

So, as I was saying, four years had passed. The story begins with King, who’s graduated with an honour degree in business, prospecting to The Fallen MC to be a fully patched member of the club.

After the murder of the Mayor Lafayette at the hands of Javier Ventura—the same man who replaces him and becomes mayor of Entrance—The Staff Sergeant of the police department , Harold Danner, begins to deal with the Ventura’s in an attempt to get rid of the Garro family and The Fallen.

A war starts between the police and the fallen, until it reaches critical point, when Zeus Garro is framed for murder of the oficial Gibson, and gone to jail. Again.

I would say that this one is my favourite so far. After the Fall is AMAZING in my eyes. I swear that I cried my soul in this book like I haven’t in a long time reading a book. During the whole two chapters where King and Cress are getting married and Zeus isn’t there I cried. Every time. Then, even when I knew he wasn’t dead because I read it in the epilogue of Good gone Bad, I cried my ass for King.

When in the introduction Gianna says that it’ll be rough waters I never thought that it would be so literally.

I’d said it but I’ll do it again. I just want the type of love that King and Cress have. Their love is so tangible, without restrictions or barriers. So real and pure, with a connection so beyond words that I envy with all I have.

At first when King is talking about a professor that intrigued him I was like ‘what’s going on?’ I sure as fuck pee my pants thinking that it was someone else. I literally cursed him in a thousand different ways even in the languages I don’t fucking know.

I missed him all the way between the other books in the series before this one, and they’re only two, so I’m sure that I’ll miss him again. He’s my favourite and I didn’t knew until I read a more mature and grown version of King Kyle Garro.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Wow, when people told me this was an emotional ride I didn’t know what to expect and I was an emotional mess during this book and I absolutely loved it.

Originally I wasn’t loving MC and although I’m not super obsessed im still loving this series and I’m looking forward to reading nova and priest’s story

So if I’m being honest I feel this book could have been a 120 page novella the first half of the book was basically just book 3 from king and cres perspective which wasn’t needed imo the second half was really the new plot heavy part of the book but by the type I got to it I had lost interested and didn’t give me the emotional impact I was hoping for

I am emotionally distraught (literally in tears) after reading this. Cress’s grief was so palpable and didn’t feel real until her and Zeus reunited. That funeral was the saddest but also most beautiful thing I’ve read in a while. The way each member of The Fallen helped Cress in their own way. Will never been the same after reading that.
