Review: Fell Short
Rating: 3 out of 5

Aptly named, `Fallen Tears' is an emotional book. As appears customary in vampire tales, we begin with a forgotten child.Twelve year old Rowan Miller is found by mystery man, Kaji. Rescuing her from a runaway's life, Kaji raises the orphaned Rowan. Fast forward 7 years. Nineteen year old Rowan has an unfortunate encounter with a lapsus or fallen angel. To save her, Kaji must make her a vampire life him. Now they're technically equals. What will become of this once parent-childlike relationship?Although read with an open mind, `Fallen Tears' fell way short of its literary counterparts. Since `Twilight' dawned, media has steadily fed us a diet of vampire/human storylines. After Rowan is attacked, there seems to be a traffic jam of characters & their powers (for lack of a better term).`Fallen Tears' may be better appreciated by the YA crowd. However, they too, may be oversaturated by this plot line. Hopefully, readers will receive a bit more bang for their buck in future installments by Christine Channelle. She is a good author.A truthful 3 of 5 stars is my rating.
