Praise for Fallen:
"Fast-paced, the story starts off strong and
retains a tight rein on the momentum throughout. This book mixes humor,
mystery, and the supernatural into a satisfying blend that should appeal to
both young and more mature readers." (Coffee Time Romance Review)
"Great flow of interest and most unusual
characters (that you will love as I have). I have laughed out loud at some of
them. Good, simple, fast read that has a great hook, line and sinker."
(Great Minds Think Aloud Review)
"A very good read with interesting characters
and a quick pace." (Life Is Better With Books Review)
"While I was given the first book I just bought
the 2nd one, Eternity, and plan to start it tonight." (The Book Hookup)
Excerpt from Fallen:
“You appear and then vanish like a
ghost. You aren’t injured from venomous snake bites.
You aren’t killed by
wayward, incredibly sharp arrows.” Then, I reiterated, “I am the only one who
can see you…how is any of this possible?”
“You do
pay attention,” he said, sounding almost regretful, though I didn’t understand
why.
“Yes, now will you tell me how you are
capable of all that?”
He paused, still looking at me, as he
collected his thoughts. The muscles throughout his body visibly flexed, tensing
as he prepared his answer. “I have certain…gifts…that not many others can
claim…gifts of speed, healing, and regeneration, to name a few.”
He paused, waiting for my reaction.
“Don’t worry so much,” I said,
teasingly. “I’m not going to run screaming for the door.”
We quietly laughed together for a brief
moment. When I felt like he was
comfortable again, I asked my next question.
“So, where did you get these gifts? Did
your parents take some sort of special drug?”
“Not exactly. I can’t answer that, as
much as I know you’d like me to. Just suffice, Magdalene, to know that without
these gifts, you wouldn’t be here right now.”
