I was given this book as an ARC for an honest review.I gave this book 5 angelic stars!This is the first book in the Chronicles of the Fallen series.And it is Alex and Lisa's story.Lisa wants it all.. The perfect everything. Life, job, and boyfriend. When she gets an opportunity to have the perfect job she jumps at it.She is so ecstatic when she gets the job, and she works hard to get the job done.  A few years later, she starts to have encounters that are weird she starts seeing things, and hearing things. She sees red eyes, and feels like she is being touched. She has nightmares. And that is just the beginning.Her boss makes passes at her all the time and it is just getting to be a little weird.Enters Alex he is a breath of fresh air. He is everything she could ever ask for in a guy, and he seems to want her. He makes her feels special and loved and she wants him like no other. But she still feels a pull to her boss, and one that she can't seem to fight.What will happen if she gives in? Or should I say when she gives in?Will everything she has been working for become worthless? Will she find out too late just what she is fighting?  And where does that leave Alex? Will he be able to save her in time? And if he does will he tell her the secret that he has been keeping from her?I loved this book! I love books about Angels. Julie had me captivated from the first paragraph that I read. Lisa was a beautiful but naive woman. She expects as much honesty as she gives and that is not the way life is sometimes. It is manipulated and twisted to the way the world wants it. If your not careful you can fall into someone else's trap. And that is what happened with Lisa, before she knows it she is too far gone to fix any of it.I am only going to say that I love Alex, he does the ultimate sacrifice for her.  Without even thinking about it. He just does it! NOT for one SECOND did he ever doubt what he was going to do. Just bam ! DONE!To me that is the true meaning of the word LOVE. Julie spun this story so well and left me wanting more. And there is a slight cliff hanger at the end but it is nothing that you can't get over.It will leave you breathless, and in awe of a love that was meant to be. A beautifully written story about forbidden love, and true love, and evil !!Just when you think you have it figured out. Watch out! You just might be surprised! Thank you Julie for an amazing story! Can't wait to read what you have up next for Lisa and Alex!! <3
