I am used to reading about Rosalie's demon half-brothers, so when I downloaded this book I knew I was going to have to shift gears a little bit.  The paranormal creatures would be different, but this is also a novella and not a full length novel so I needed to adjust there as well.  I am always hesitant about novellas, since they are so much shorter, but I have come to love Rosalie's work, so I kept an open mind going into this book.I am really glad I did give this series a shot now, because I loved this story!  There is a threat looming in the distance in this world, but there is not really a major battle or anything like that through the course of the plot.  I did not miss that aspect of the book at all though.  Rosalie really took the time to let Michael and Eva's bond grow and I appreciated that.  Sometimes with novellas, the characters just rush into the romance without taking time to breathe and that often bothers me.  Not in this story, they do have an instant connection, but time is taken to explore their bond and this helped me connect with each of them.I also like the idea of the Fallen helping humans fight against the other angels.  In this world, the angels control life on earth and we are basically their slaves.  The worst part is, most humans don't even seem to care or notice that they are prisoners in their own world.  Angels feel that they are superior to humans and because of this we should fall at their feet and do their bidding.  Luckily, the Fallen do not feel this way and this is why the other angels have cast them out.  A war is looming and battles have already been fought, but the human race is just starting to catch on and will hopefully triumph.We do get to see some of the other Fallen, but because this is a novella we do not get to know them very well.  I know there are more books to come in this series and I am really excited to explore them.  Rosalie manages to pack a lot into such a short story and I loved every second of it.  I am looking forward to learning more about these angels in the future.
