*I was given an ARC copy of this book, in return for an honest review*As a lover of paranormal books, I am always intrigued to read stories of angels and demons.  When I was asked to guest review this book for Feisty Girls Book Blog, I became excited to read Julie’s debut novel, Fallen.The overall premise of book is a personal favorite of mine…GOOD vs. EVIL.  When you throw in a HOT guardian angel and A HOT demon boss, it drew me in to the book even more, because I am totally a book smut slut (I OPENLY admit it!).  GIVE ME HOT SEXY MEN ANYDAY… GOOD OR BAD…I LOVE THEM ALL! **fanning myself.Although I enjoy reading details in a story, I felt in many parts Ms. Morgan was too descriptive on areas that were irrelevant to the storyline.  To me, those extra details sometimes made me lose interest in the scene that I was currently reading.Also while reading this book, I would one moment, be engulfed in the story, but then it would skip and jump entirely to another scene. It confused me enough to make me have to read the parts over, just to ensure that I didn’t miss anything relevant.  In some areas, I felt the story was building very well, but then it would rush too quickly to the next part.  I would have especially liked to have seen more of a love triangle between Samuel, Lisa, and Alex, rather than a planned seduction for her soul.  I didn’t feel the story explained enough of why her soul was even at risk in the first place.The book’s ending was extraordinarily written.  I immensely enjoyed the self- sacrificing of the angel Alex to save Lisa’s soul from Samuel in the depths of Hell.  The author makes you feel the emotion and love that Alex feels for Lisa when he choses to give up everything for the woman he loves.Overall, I found this book to be a good read. I just found it sketchy and over detailed in parts.  For a debut novel, I applaud Ms. Morgan of her writing in the challenging paranormal genre field.  I will be very interested to see where the story goes from here in the sequel to this book. I rate this book a 3.75 stars.
