“So you’re warning me away from you?” I was appalled. “Then
why are you doing this…guarding me at all? Why the torment? Why watch over me
when you know that…that we should be more?” I felt on the verge of tears, which
amazed me. How could pain be so sharp in the afterlife? “Answer me, Eran. Why?”
He sighed. “Because it is my job.”
I gasped, more offended than I’d ever been. “I’m a job to
you?” I stared at him and waited for his head to rise but he refused to look at
me.
“Yes,” he said weakly, defeated. His beautiful, rugged voice
released as a whimper and the pain inside me grew. “You are just a job.”
I didn’t think it was possible but the emptiness I’d felt
with Eran being gone those many weeks held no comparison to the magnitude of
what I was experiencing right now.
I felt as if I had been gutted.
“No…” I shook my head. “I don’t believe you because you see,
Eran, I can feel your emotions run through me. Whether you want to admit them
or not, I know how you feel about me.”
Stunned, his head jerked up, his brilliant blue-green eyes
drilling into mine. “You feel me too? How can that be?”
“I don’t know. But I do know that I feel in you the same
emotions I have.”
He groaned and turned away. “That’s not possible…” he
muttered, pausing. When he spoke again his voice was strained, determined. I
drew in a breath as the intensity of these emotions ran through me. “It doesn’t
matter. I won’t let this happen. This will not happen…I will not let us be
together.”
“Because you are my guardian? Then let me make it easy on
us…You’re fired.”
“It doesn’t work that way, Magdalene,” he said, quieter but
still resolute.
“I didn’t want you to watch over me, Eran. I never asked for
it.”
As if he’d become an entirely new person, his reply was flat
and detached. “You’re a messenger. You require a guardian. It’s as simple as
that.”
“Then we’ve just solved the issue, didn’t we?” I said
causing him to finally look up. “This will be my last message. It’s from me to
you…goodbye Eran.”
Turning swiftly, I walked away just before the tears came.

My Rant: Now you all know very seldom I read YA Fantasy books and I try
to stay away from them unless I really want to dive into a story based on some
recommendations. I joined the tour for this book to help out and friend and I
am glad I actually took the time to read this story by Laury Falter. Fallen is
abook you cannot judge on its cover. I really enjoyed the characters and the
plot to the story. There is a bit of mystery based on the main character
magdalene’s life being in danger. There are things she doesn’t even know about
her enemies or about herself. The story builds quickly and before you realize
it you are sucked into the story. Every good story has to have a hunky hero and
this book doesn’t disappoint. Eran is always there to have Magdalenes back. There
is a connection between both characters that is not quite known but you can
feel it through the story. I was taken by surprise by the humor in the story. I
found myself laughing really hard at some of the lines. The author’s writing style
was smooth, vivid and very easy to follow and mean literally, I read this book
in one sitting because the action was captivating and intriguing. Thanks to
RBTL Tours , I have found another author and series to add to my TBR list.
My Recommendation:
I rated this book 4 out of 5 purple rant hearts just because this book really surprised me. The action, humor and mystery really captivated me and made me crave the next edition to the series.
