The angel of death wants me to be his wife.

Most days, I steal from ships to earn a living. Not glamorous, admittedly, but it's honest work. Okay, fine. It isn't honest either, but it means I get to eat.

Until one night, a sinfully sexy angel strides into my favorite dance hall and compels me to work for him. It isn't just work, though. He wants me to be his wife in Castle Hades. Apparently, his prophetic dreams say I'll help him become king. Beautiful as he is, he's also a lethal tyrant. And I could be in danger. Luckily, I know how to fight back, how to weaken an angel: I must seduce him.

Now, this is a battle, and he’s my beautiful enemy. We are fighting with weapons of desire, and we're both at risk of losing ourselves in this war.

It was so damn good.
5 Stars
It was so damn good.
I loved it. It's got a bit of an old world vibe. It almost reminds me of steampunk novels but it's definitely not steampunk. I'm not sure how else to describe it. It's action-packed, has buckets of sexual tension, great character chemistry, and Mmmmm... our hero—Samuel— is hot! I'm loving the fresh fantasy world with the old school imagery. The Fallen is truly vivid in its presentation. Lila is a lot of fun as well. She's quick witted and a total survivor. I like her pragmatic way of thinking. The fact that she uses her brain and what skills she has at her disposal like being a rad pickpocket to her advantage makes you love her all the more. She may not come from much but she certainly knows how to use what she does have for maximum benefit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this- Unique & Fun

I wished the story hadn't ended. The writers of these novels are great (I would love to meet then and learn about where their ideas come from and how they get things working so well that you can't tell it isn't one person!) with fertile imaginations and a simple yet fun writing style. They use pieces of stories from all over history and mythology and build a world you can start to see, even if you don't love in the same part of the world. I wouldn't mind a little more historical detail when it comes to the angels but maybe that will come later and honestly, it isn't important or needed. The books are great as is. The characters are very well developed, with believable and slow changes as they grow and learn, and the plot is interesting- I can't wait to see what Lila does next and how everything works out (though there are a few very obvious assumptions anyone who reads this book will make about the future)... I'm pleased with the new vulnerabilities of both the angels and the mostly unused ones of Lila (illiteracy is something that isn't often used as a weakness in books I have read). Reading is knowledge and knowledge is power. And understanding . So true! Definitely something this country and the entire world need to fix in real life. Anyway I'm off-topic now but this is a fun,, engaging and easy read that you will enjoy if you like strong (and imperfect) heroines and strong misunderstood ... "heroes" may be the wrong word, but I'll use it anyway. 😉 Happy Reading!!

Love C.N. Crawfords writing. I discovered them when I read the Agents of Chaos series. Since then I have been making my way down the list! Here I am with Fallen. It was interesting. I love the picture they paint. I found the story intriguing. At times it was a little unbelievable (if it makes sense) there were situations that had me going ahhh what?….She would have totally been either thrown in a dungeon, beheaded or locked up in a room. When that would happen I was thinking she was being tested or something but no. Samuel was just going along with it but like he didn’t question it? It was a little frustrating because I couldn’t tell which way it was going to go! Which was part of the intrigue for me. Lidia was just so naive to the point of stupid sometimes. She put her trust in the wrong people. That’s why it’s important to know how to read! (Read the story and you’ll know what I mean) I did like how it ended and I’m looking forward to the next book ❤️

This is an amazing book! There is plenty of suspense, deceit, action, and intrigue, not to mention one of the Fallen wanting to marry Lila. The characters were wonderfully created, and they are easy to like or even love. I am looking forward to the next book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Forced myself to finish
Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2021

This is the second book I've read by this author. I can't remember what the first one was, but I didn't finish it. I didn't really want to finish this book either.
The MC is quite frankly an idiot. If I read correctly, she's like 25. Come on.
But here's the odd thing, this story has great world building, some good characters, and a LOT of potential. It took me a bit to piece together what was bothering me so much. The disjointed feel of the story. At the end, it hit me. This author is actually 2 authors if you didn't know that. One of them is a good writer, one of them is a weak writer. That's the problem. Everything that works being brought to the table by the good author is canceled out by the weak author. Clearly one wrote Samael, and one wrote Lila. Lila sucks. She's all over the place. And there's so many things that don't make sense. He's an angel and she's an immature thief who manages to escape I don't even know how many times from a castle crawling with guards who know she's been escaping. I just can't with this series. I noticed the next book in the series is only 240 pages. I'm not someone who hates series, I actually prefer them assuming the wait is reasonable. However, I don't like series that are dragged out and contain "filler" books, which I'm going to guess the next one is. I don't know if that's a money scheme or authors really just think they're writing pure gold with each book.
I know a lot of people are big fans, but I want more out of a story. I want main characters who don't behave like they've sustained a head injury or have the intelligence of a house plant. Some people will probably really like this book. I did not.

Although you can see where the story is headed, it's wonderful to see the antagonist grow on the pages. Reminds me of Angel's blood by Malibu singh.
