2.5 stars

I have been looking forward to reading Fallen Angel ever since I read the intriguing synopsis and when I received it to read as a review I was extremely excited to enter the world Heather created. I ended up having a hard time with this story, despite the fact I desperately wanted to love it. It's not that the mythology wasn't unique, as it was. I was fascinated by Heather's angels as they are traditional fallen angels with a unique and intriguing history.

The two main characters, Ellie and Michael have a strong connection to each other and end up having a lot more in common with each other than Ellie first thinks. She has bizarre dreams and it's until Michael enters them, does she realize they're dreams at all. Through Michael, Ellie learns more about what they really are, as Michael teaches her how they're able to really see each other-through their blood. Their blood lust for one another really turned me off from the story, as I had a hard time with fallen angels thinking their were vampires. I also wanted to feel more connected with Ellie and Michael, but I felt liked they needed more depth to them. Don't get me wrong, I liked how together they discover their history and learn what their destiny is, but it wasn't enough make me feel I really got to know them.

The plot is a mix of action and at other times one I couldn't get into. I liked that there some of the story's action comes from the traditional "bad boy" which also uncovers more of the plot and Ellie and Michael's destiny together. During this time Ellie learns her history and that of her parents. I found some of old world or old fashioned language a little hard to follow. I understand why it was in the book, but I think it took a little bit away from the story, since Ellie and Michael's families want to blend in and not stand out. Ellie herself uses some phrases that seem a bit odd coming from a sixteen year old in the 21st century.

I like the history Heather included into the story, as those were the most intriguing parts for me. I liked finding out more about Ellie and where she came from and what she is. Despite being turned off from the blood lust these angels have, I was fascinated with Heather's angel mythology. Even though I spent much of the story wanting to like it more than I did, the action at the end of the story (no matter how quick it was) redeemed itself just enough that I will pick up it's sequel, Eternity when it's released.

Fallen Angel Heather Terrell Books Reviews

It was a very good book it was one of the best I have ever read you will love it
I loved this book! Devoured it in one weekend. Seriously, I just tuned out everything else and lost myself in this. It seemed to have more depth than most vampire love stories I've read and I couldn't turn the pages fast enough toward the end. A must-read, for sure.
When I ordered "Fallen Angel" by Heather Terrell I had read the review and was expecting a story very dissimilar to what I got. The plot was unoriginal and sludged along so slowly in places I found myself getting easily distracted by even the simplest things and had to focus hard on getting back into the story. At one point there is mention of something 'very important' and Ellie is overly obsessive about this 'thing' and the next minute she's completely forgotten what was so pertinent. The book was not all bad however, Michael and Ellie are well rounded characters with spunk and whit, and at some points there 'romance' is intriguing and intense. I would not recommend this book to my friends who are equally addicted to the 'fallen angels' sci-fi books of todays readers.
Ellspeth Faneuil dreamt she could fly. At least she thought they were dreams until she met Michael Chase. In a town as small as Tillinghast it was rare for her not to know everybody, but Michael was definitely new. From the first moment that she noticed him at school she sensed he was different.

Even though she felt an instant connection to him, she never thought it was anything but one-sided. He was handsome, charming and athletic. She had always felt awkward and never fit in with the popular girls at school. Coming from a family who believed in giving back, living green and spending summers traveling to foreign countries to assist the poor made Ellie feel even more of an outsider.

When Michael claims to have met her three years before, Ellie has no memory of him. And when he tells her that her dreams are not dreams, but reality and that she can actually fly, she becomes even more distrusting of him. But when she finally comes to believe him it just raises more questions. Why doesn't she remember him? Do their parents know? What are they?

When a stranger arrives in Tillinghast, someone who claims to have answers, will Ellie and Michael be willing to give him what he's asking for in order to get them?

***

Fallen Angel by Heather Terrell is a slightly different and unconventional story about angels in the young adult market. While in keeping with the traditional theme of fallen angels left behind on earth - with those trying to return to heaven and those who choose to remain - the author has added the element of bloodlust to the mix.

In their search for answers, as Ellie and Michael try to figure out what they are, they discover that they have a strong pull toward each other's blood. It is in the blood that they are able to truly see one another.

While the story does have this slightly different twist it lacks some of the depth that other books in this genre offer. There are no points at which the story grabs you and the connection between the two main characters is not strong enough. Michael's expressions of affection for Ellie lack emotion and don't feel believable. It is missing that magical element that makes a reader instantly fall in love with the characters and storyline.

The book is marketed toward an audience of ages twelve and up, but much of the writing doesn't seem to relate to this age group. Using terms that seem old-fashioned or out-dated, such as "throng," "nefarious tentacles" or "malingerers," makes the story less relatable. When language geared toward an older audience is used in a way which flows beautifully it can elevate a readers' vocabulary, but here many of the passages felt clunky and that they were trying too hard.

The book is written from the perspective of a sixteen-year-old main character from a small town, and even though she is to have spent summers in third world countries, her viewpoint would still be that of a teenager. It doesn't feel realistic that a teenager would be referencing Hieronymus Bosch's paintings or thinking in phrases such as He looked at me a bit askance but answered cordially enough.

Further, while much of the story moves slowly, when the conflict finally does arrive it is so quick that it's over just when you start to feel like you've found something to really enjoy. And some events that you would think would have more substance are simply glossed over.

The electronic version of the book includes a peek at the next book in the series, Eternity, which shows promise, and with the fact that the premise of this book was interesting, it may be worthwhile to read Eternity to see where this story leads.
