GoodReads Summary:
Eden won the battle-she
saved her true love from the darkest evil. But the war has only just
begun. With secrets swirling around her, powerful allies unraveling, and
life-and death-as she knows it eroding, Eden and those she loves tread
dangerous ground. Can she trust anyone? Will her unearthly powers be her
salvation or her downfall? A sweeping, dark, and sexy paranormal
romance that will haunt readers with an inventive mythology and a
cinematic New York City filled with shadows and longing.
Review:
Gabriel has Fallen. Az is on the edge of Falling. Siders are dealing out
Touch to mortals. Eden is turning to ashes. Even though Eden saved Az
from Luke things aren't picture perfect, far from it. Every single day
is a struggle to Az, who's on the brink of Falling. It could be the
mention of Gabe's name or someone yelling at Eden that could push him
over the brink. Kristen can't survive without Gabe and not knowing truth
about Gabe's Fall isn't helping her emotions. So she turns to the only
other option she has.... Luke.
This book was... hmmm... STUNNING!!! I missed Eden and her innocence and integrity. At first I was a little confused because I had read the first book so long ago and the terms and stuff like that slipped my mind, but within the first 50 pages or so I remembered. I had to admit I loved the intertwining plots for each of the characters! It added an air of mystery and drama to the storyline. I liked each of the characters stories individually too.
Kristen is losing her mind, literally. She has schizophrenia and the only thing that can make it go away is Gabe. But Gabe's left her. She doesn't have any other option; the voices in her head are driving her insane. So she turns to Luke. Luke strikes a deal and soon enough Kristen's fallen in love with him, or so she thinks. I actually enjoyed reading these chapters the most. I thought Luke was turning into someone who's loveable. But I was wrong.....
Gabe's story was truthfully a lot less entertaining for me. I mean how many times can one black out and forget where they are and then wake up killing someone? I liked Gabe's character when he was Bound, but when he's Fallen it seemed like the author spent too much time on how evil he was or how much he wanted to kill that kid over there, instead of getting to the point.
Eden and Az are the most frustrating couple I've ever read about! I feel like, even though she saved his sorry butt and everything, there's never any romance between them. It's all Vaughn or Madeline or Gabe but no Az and Eden! I mean how can you write about a couple who barely (it seems) talk and can't kiss? I doesn't make any sense! Most of the time I just wanted Az to show up with a magic potion and turn Eden into an angle!
I absolutely loved Jarrod! Oh my gosh I think he's like my #1 favorite book crush (besides Peeta). At first his chapters were boring and slow paced but when he meets Sullivan... he turns into the best dude ever! You just want to hug him! I thought it was so sweet how he stayed with Sullivan through the night and in the morning how he went onto the roof for her! I love his weakness of roofs! I think that when you see the vulnerable side of guys that's when you truly see who they are.
So over all I really liked this book. I thought it was even better than the first one! I wish that Madeline had her own chapters though. I thought she was a great character that they should have explained more. I hope to see her in the next book! I haven't seen a lot of people with this book (probably because it just came out) but I definitely think people should look into this series! I believe readers who love adventure, romance, good characters, a riveting plot, and a touch (hahaha get it... touch?) of darkness will LOVE this book!
