A review by alexcarbonneau
The Fallen by Carrefour Ltd, Ace Atkins
3.0
It pains me to rate a Quinn Colson, let along an Ace Atkins novel a 3-star rating, but allow me to make my case.
I have been, and still am, a fan of the Colson and Tibbehah series since i first read the very first chapter of The Ranger. I was actually very excited about The Fallen. The plot seemed to go out of the beaten path of the series and The Redeemers had given Lily Virgil the place she deserved in the series, which is basically more of her.
Unfortunately, The Fallen falls into the exact same molds of its predecessors. Don't get me wrong. It is a good novel. It serves it's purpose. It's gritty and raw and funny. Pure Ace Atkins.
I just feel that there is this mold now in the series where the author just changes the names and the action. The newest books in the series are almost identical to the others although Atkins changed Safe robbers to Bank Robbers.
I will still read every Colson books Ace Atkins throw at me. It is still an enjoyable novel, but I deeply wish that the next one will take us somewhere else.
