“Are you really an archangel?”
“Impressed?”
“No. But I have some complaints I’d like to file about your personnel.”
“Talk to middle management.”

It's been six weeks after the catastrophic attack on earth. The world as we know it has come to an end, torn apart by a war between angels and humans. Trapped between a battle that has been thrust upon her, Penryn will do anything in order to keep her sister and mother alive. Even help the enemy, an angel...

When Penryn witnesses an angel being beaten and brutally stripped of his wings, her instinct tells her to help. But in her effort to help the angel she loses what she loves the most, her wheelchair-bound little sister. As Penryn watches her little sister being taken away, she's determined to get her back and they only way to achieve that is to join forces with the angel, after she helps him heal...

“Oh, please. Your giant head is getting too big for this forest. Pretty soon, you're going to get stuck trying to walk between two tress. And then, I'll have to rescue you. Again.”

This book kept me on the edge of my seat with its mind-blowing plot, action and emotion.

Penryn is the type of heroine that you love and connect with instantly. She's smart, funny but at the same time very realistc, she's strong and very loyal, she never gives up (even when she knows she'll lose) and above all she's compassionate. What intrigued me the most about her, was her relationship with her mother (who btw is really crazy, like there's no one crazier than her, like lock-me-in-an-asylum crazy). Despite her mother's craziness, though, she's still very concerned about her..

As for Raffe (yeah..Raffe's the angle) he was brilliant. An agnostic angel!Really??? That totally blew me away. Raffe is the kind of man (or angel) who you don't want to mess with. He has so many secrets and is so arrogant!!!

“In the long second before everyone absorbs what just happened, I see the angel rolling his eyes heavenward, like a teenager in the presence of overwhelming lameness. Some people just have no sense of gratitude.”

Penryn and Raffe's relationship unfolds very naturally, as they both strive to survive under adverse conditions.

“So long as you don't bleed in the shape of wing joints, you should pass for human. Oh, and don't let anyone pick you up. They'll know you're not right as soon as they feel how light you are."
"I'll be sure not to let anyone but you carry me in her arms.”

Angelfall has it all. A post-apocalyptic theme, to-die-for badass angels, a kickass heroine, cannibals and other disgusting creatures and last but not least it has a bazillion twist and turns. Yep, just when you thnk that you know what will happen everything changes. I'm telling you "you won't see the end coming"...

One negative thing this book has, it's that it's a cliffhanger. Not a big one, but a cliffhanger it is. I'm just happy that the sequel will be out in three or four months. I can't wait!!!

Highly recommended!!!

Synopsis:

It's been six weeks since angels of the apocalypse descended to demolish the modern world. Street gangs rule the day while fear and superstition rule the night. When warrior angels fly away with a helpless little girl, her seventeen-year-old sister Penryn will do anything to get her back.

Anything, including making a deal with an enemy angel.

Raffe is a warrior who lies broken and wingless on the street. After eons of fighting his own battles, he finds himself being rescued from a desperate situation by a half-starved teenage girl.

Traveling through a dark and twisted Northern California, they have only each other to rely on for survival. Together, they journey toward the angels' stronghold in San Francisco where she'll risk everything to rescue her sister and he'll put himself at the mercy of his greatest enemies for the chance to be made whole again.

Angel Betrayed By Cynthia Eden

Angel Betrayed (The Fallen, #2)

By Cynthia Eden

My rating: 5 of 5 stars




“I figure you owe me, Fallen.”

“Seems you told me that before.”

“Well, yeah, I did. Because every time I turn around, you’re owing me.”

LOVED IT!!!!!

Oh...Cynthia Eden you did it again.I just can't resist reading your books.Once again here I am giving 5 stars to an incredible book.Angel Betrayed is an amazing addition to The Fallen series.Since Angel of Darkness I've been patiently waiting for Sam's story and finally I read it!!!

Wow...Sam and Seline????Talk about chemistry.Especially with an angel and a half succubus. Well done Seline!!!Playing with a fallen.

So,the story goes like:girl is in danger,she goes asking for help from a fallen and he decides to play good.Boy helps girl(can bad boys do that???)until he realizes that looks are deceiving.But not everything is a lie.Girl tells the (half) truth to boy and he wants to play the good knight in the shining armor and save the damsel in distress.One tragedy follows the other and we come facing the question:What would you sacrifice to save your love???Would you spent a thousand years burning in hell just to see your beloved one???Maybe not you but Sam definitely would.That's why I love him so much...

Not much more to say other that you should,no you must absolutely read Angel Betrayed.I definately recommend it and I can't wait to read Angel in Chains,the third book in The Fallen series(I'm not sure but I think it will be about Tomas and Sierra) and hopefully not the last.

A LITTLE BIT OF ANGEL LUST.
Sammael – call him Sam – was an angel once. An angel of death. But the dispassionate, watch-from-above thing just wasn’t working for him when it meant watching evil torture innocent souls day in and day out. It might have cost him his wings, but these days, he gets to apply the direct method on the bad guys. Problem is, what’s making his life difficult is a bad girl…

Seline O’Shaw needs protection, and with the hounds of hell on her tail, she’s not going to quibble too hard about where she gets it. Sam’s virtue is questionable, but he’s smoking hot, massively powerful, and owes her a favor. So what if she’s getting a little case of angel lust? There are some damn deadly sins after her hide…

The prophecies were there but no one listened. Until now. They are the Lords of Deliverance and they have the power to ward off Doomsday . . . or let it ride.
Jillian Cardiff came to this remote mountain town to forget the demon attack that almost killed her. Instead, she rescues - and falls for - a gorgeous stranger who has no memory of anything other than his name. Handsome, charming and protective, Reseph seems like the kind of man that Jillian can trust. But with hints of a troubling history of his own, he's also the kind of man that can be very dangerous . . .


Reseph may not know his background, or why he mysteriously appeared in Jillian's life, but he knows he wants to stay. Yet when Jillian's neighbours are killed and demon hunters arrive on the scene, Reseph fears that he's putting Jillian in danger. And once it's revealed that Reseph is also Pestilence, the Horseman responsible for ravaging the world with death and destruction, he and Jillian must face the greatest challenge of all: can they forget the horrors of a chilling past to save the future they both desire?

P.S:Wish I could add more.!!!
