This rich review site gave FALLEN a “Lovely Rose” rating…
Here are a few quotes:
“Review: Fallen by Traci L. Slatton is a book unlike any other that you have read. It will keep you at the edge of your seat and unable to pry your hands and eyes away!…
FALLEN had me on an emotional roller coaster at times – warming my heart, bringing tears to my eyes, heart thundering in suspense and unease as well as the yearning of heat and passion simmering over me. Traci L. Slatton has an excellent story telling ability….
This is one that I highly recommend and must warn you that once you start, you will be hard-pressed to step away from Emma’s story!”

Tome Tender: Cold Light by Traci L. Slatton (After Trilogy #2): Cold Light by Traci L. Slatton
Tome Tender rating: 5 of 5 stars
“This is a story of survival in a dystopian, post-apocolyptic world written in a gritty and raw manner, no sugar coating allowed…
From page 1, I was riveted to this bleak world… The author told an amazing story, brutally well….”
Two cool reviews of FALLEN
Gothic Mom’s Book Reviews had fun with FALLEN. “Packed with danger and excitement, twists and turns, and an amazing love story, Fallen is one of those books that you just have to have!”
Check out the review here.
Me-Mommy Etc. had some fun with FALLEN also: “It really picked up and was a nice quick read. It is part of a planned trilogy and I am eagerly awaiting the other two books.“
I finished Fallen a long time ago but have never gotten around to writing its review. The first thing I will say is I almost gave up on this book. I really was not into in the beginning, but I figured I would give it 100 pages and if I still hated it I would move on. Well there hit a point and I was sucked in. This book is a story about the world post end of days. It centers around a mother who is traveling with her own daughter, and several other children she has picked up along the way. Each child seems to have a special ability (well everyone does it is a side effect of whatever brought the end of the world as they knew it). She comes across a tribe of men and is willing to do whatever it takes to keep her band of children safe. This quickly turns into a love story, but it much more than that. It is a love story and a story of survival. What I think I loved most as although it was a love story, it wasn’t your simple boy meets girl. It was much more complicated than that. The main character was still technically married and didn’t know if her husband was alive or not, the man she fell for may or may not have helped bring about the end of the world, and there is the constant threat of death and destruction at every corner. It really picked up and was a nice quick read. It is part of a planned trilogy and I am eagerly awaiting the other two books.
“I have long awaited this second book, Cold Light, after the way Fallen ended. I was NOT disappointed!” writes Jennifer in this impassioned review. Check it out!
Emma’s daughter has been kidnapped by a rogue group and she goes on a suicide mission to get her back. I was very excited to be reunited with a few of the cast from Fallen and am still in anxious need of book three now to see how this all wraps up.
Emma is one strong and determined woman but Arthur is just as determined. I am torn on which way I want Emma to go because with the one man her husband she has the strong history and children but she shares something with Arthur that I dont think she and her husband ever really had or ever will.
I can’t say much more without a spoiler comment but I will say I didn’t really like the way Cold Light ended. I would not want to be in Emma’s shoes and have to make the choices she is being forced to but it’s time…. there can be only one victor in this war.
And to Jennifer and other readers who are asking for Book 3: it’s coming!

Check out this great new review of COLD LIGHT on the popular Lost Entwife bookblog.
“Traci Slatton nails it with her follow up to Fallen….”
Traci Slatton nails it with her follow up to Fallen. In Cold Light Emma is faced with hard decision after hard decision – and we’re not talking about decisions on simply where to live or who to be with. We’re talking life and death decisions in a place that is just simply not pretty.
The end of Fallen leaves of with the reuniting of Emma with her family. She leaves behind someone she’s grown attached to and does what is right and honorable. But now her life in Europe has followed her to Canada – in more ways than one.
What I appreciate about the After trilogy is how the world can be so bleak, but yet there is so much hope in the story. There’s love, and thoughtfulness, and honor in a place where those just don’t seem like they’d exist anymore. And what I love even more is how honest Traci’s writing is. She doesn’t hesitate to do what needs to be done to move the story forward. When writing a story like Cold Light (or it’s previous book), there are hard things which need to be done to give the story credibility. You cannot write about bad people and have them not do bad things. This is not a young adult dystopian or post-apocolyptic story – this is hardcore, knuckle-whitening stuff and it kept me riveted from page one.
