Rating: 2 out of 5

Alice, who is not a very likable character, isn't who she thinks she is.  Lucifer is chillin' in Hell and the Angels are gearing up for war.  Angels are soldiers and they are more like human beings than they can ever imagine.  They are bratty little boys, for the most part, but then trying to keep the Hellish minions where they belong can probably do that to a person.  They are egotistical and cold, for the most part.  They lie to each other, kill each other and in general, they aren't very nice at all.  Some of the bad guys and some of the good guys were once Brothers, hence the Fallen.  Alice, who thinks she's a normal person, finds, to her surprise, that her parents were not who she thought they were and that she is actually a weapon...a weapon wanted by both sides.  In a flash her life is turned upside-down and the angels who are trying to keep her safe and use her at the same time, is what the book is all about. The book drags along, especially when Alice is in Hell.  Seriously, she goes through one level then another and another...arggg!  This is one more book where the main character asks questions over and over again but gets no answers.  Alice is alway being told that the time isn't right, they will tell her later, whatever.  I barely finished it.  won't be buying the sequel.
