Great New Review of FALLEN

Posted on:

As I turn the pages blog

Just to warm my novelist heart on Valentines Day… Bookangel at As I turn the pages blog wrote a wonderful, thoughtful critique, and ended with… “…By the end of the book, I wanted to know more about everyone. What will they do? How long can they survive? Will they find happiness? The book ends with a very emotional cliffhanger. This is the first of a trilogy, and I can’t wait to find out what happens.”

My take on: Fallen

Looking at the cover of Fallen by Traci L. Slatton, I thought perhaps this is a paranormal book. Are there vampires? Goblins? No and no. It’s a post-apocalyptic world, where people have been stripped of everything. They have to rely on each other for survival. New alliances and intimate relationships are formed. But at the core of this book, is a love story. A love story that might not have happened if the entire world hadn’t changed.

Deadly mists are killing billions of people. The poisonous gases strike without warning, consuming flesh before completely dissolving its victims into little droplets of water. If you do survive an attack, your mind descends into madness. Those lucky enough to still be alive band together. One woman, Emma, relies on her maternal instincts and her new healing powers to get her through. Emma was traveling in Paris with one of her daughters, Mandy, when the entire world changed. Her husband and eldest daughter were visiting family in Canada, the only safe haven left. Emma mothers not just her own child, but several others she encounters. Emma and her brood move from place to place, scouring the land for food and shelter.

Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic.

I’m not going to lie, I hesitated to pick up Fallen but once I did, I was immediately drawn into its pages. Within Fallen you will find what is the end of the world, what caused the disaster, and those who were able to survive. Emma is with a band of chidden, fighting off what is the the mist. The mist will destroy everything in its path, killing everything in its path. When the mist gets to you, it is a very painful death.

The book opens up with Mandy, Emma’s five year old daughter, about to get killed from the mist. Instead of allowing Mandy to be taken from the mist, Emma carries around a gun to end the persons misery. Right before Emma had to put a bullet in her own daughters head, comes a group of men to save the day. With the mist gone, the men are about to go their own way but Emma knows that if that happens, the group doesn’t have much of a chance at surviving. So Emma does the only thing she can think of. She agrees to stay with the leader of the group, Arthur….

I adored both Emma’s personality; the way she knew exactly what had to be done and did whatever needed to be done to save not only her and her daughters life but the lives of the people she’s grown to love. With Arthur, he is your adverse manly man that wan’t have any one defying him but has a soft spot for Emma. Even when it comes to her ridiculous demands for toothpaste and showers.

I can not wait for the next book in this series. If you have yet to read Fallen, it is a book that you must put on your to read list. While younger readers may not enjoy it as much, I know that older readers will find it as inspiring as I did.

Review of Dystopian Romance Book Fallen by Traci Slatton

This book in three words: Amazing, Haunting, Suspenseful

Fallen is a book about survival, betrayal, love, secrets, danger and hope. It will instantly transport you to a post-apocalyptic world that is being terrorized by deadly mists and is filled with danger at every turn.

What would you do to save your family and ensure survival following the nearly completeannihilation of the world as you know it? Emma is faced with that question when she finds herself in charge of not only her daughter, but a number of abandoned children who have lost their families to the mists. When they are saved from near death by a mysterious stranger, Arthur  and a few of his friends, Emma offers her body to him in exchange for protection and a place in his safe house. He agrees, but neither of them realized that this one exchange will cost them the one thing they cannot protect, the one thing they cannothide from..their heart.

The ending will leave your head spinning and FALLEN will haunt you long after you finish it. FALLEN is one of the best books I have read this year and encourage everyone to read it!

BELLAONLINE REVIEW

Rich, lively, informative Bellaonline.org, which calls itself “The voice of women,” has given FALLEN a wonderful review. Check it out here, and note the good words:

“Fallen has a very vivid world populated with interesting characters. … All in all, I enjoyed watching the characters develop in their new world, especially seeing the children mature and find their own places among the survivors…. In the backdrop of a ruined society, the characters shine through, trying to make the most of their new world and find their place in it.”
My Recommendation
While Fallen by Traci Slatton is not a deeply philosophical (or dark) look at the apocalypse, it is a nice read. In the backdrop of a ruined society, the characters shine through, trying to make the most of their new world and find their place in it.

Jenny O., one of the vampchix at sexy Bite Club, gave FALLEN a great review. The site is a blast to visit, with plenty of eye candy! And check out what they said about my novel.
“This was an interesting book. I never knew what was going to happen from one chapter to the next. The whole time reading I kept thinking I had it figured out and then something would change. I liked how the relationships among the survivors were played out. They were all trying to keep themselves safe as well as work somewhat together to continue the human race…. It made me think about what would really happen if this story became true. Would people work together or would we naturally segregate ourselves into groups to feel safe. There were also some unexpected secrets on the part of the two main characters that really threw me for a loop and made the book that much better. I really think that this book would be best for high school age and older readers, it deals with mature topics that are best suited for the more world experienced reader. All in all this is a great read!!“
