Rating: 5 out of 5

Fallen ~ there are multiple connotative meanings to this word in book 4 of Callie Hart’s Blood and Roses series.Zeth and Sloane have definitely fallen deeper into a relationship. The lengths that they’re willing to go to, to protect each other is clearly shown in the dangerous situations they find themselves in and the choices they make.Both of their worlds have fallen apart. Neither can go back to the lives that they once lived. People want them dead; no one is safe, including Sloane’s parents and incident victims who are used as pawns in a deadly game of killed or be killed.Some may say that Sloane has fallen from grace; the path that she has chosen since meeting Zeth is not on the right side of the law. In this installment, she takes even greater risks to protect the man she has fallen for.From the beginning of this series, Callie Hart has given her readers stories filled with action, suspense, intrigue, and hot sex, and Fallen continues in that guise, and as much as it hits the fan in Burn, it’s even more so in this book because it’s brought closer to home; it’s on their own turf now and their lives are not the only ones at risk.In each text, Zeth and Sloane’s connection has grown and the depth of who they truly are at their core is examined. Zeth is definitely the quintessential bad boy, but the more he allows Sloane in, the more readers are privy to the man underneath the darkness. Zeth’s “angry girl” is quite the complex character as well. The more she allows herself to be with Zeth the way she wants to, the more she feels alive, and she begins to understand that the path she chose for herself after her sister’s disappearance is not who she truly is meant to be and Zeth allows her to embrace her inner bad*** and it is definitely beginning to show the deeper Callie takes us into Zeth and Sloane’s story.Fallen is another fantastic read in the Blood and Roses series. There are huge plot developments in this one, and Zeth and Sloane, it seems, reach a great place in their relationship, and while there’s still a lot up in the air at the end of the text, the ending doesn’t leave me disgruntled…just excited to see how it is all going to continue to play out.A complimentary copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.4.5 poison apples (The Fairest of All Book Reviews)
