I was immediately drawn into the story and curious about Cade. We get a brief glimpse of how he came to be immortal. Cade has some major guilt and struggles despite the fact that he is a leader. He comes of gruff but as the author peeled back, his layers I began to care for him. We also meet Emma an art teacher with a talented gift but she needs to believe in herself. I immediately liked Emma and found her to be brave, intelligent and quite capable of handling Cade.The suspense is intense, as Emma finds herself in danger from the Fallen. Fallen Redemption is your classic good vs.evil tale. The author provides perspectives from both the Fallen (evil) and Cade’s brotherhood. (good)While the author provides an index of technical terms for her characters, the world building was not detailed enough. It kept the pace intense, and while I had a basic understanding of the battle, who they were and where they came from I needed back-story.The ending was a little too open, and it left me a little frustrated. While the book is part of a series and the answers will come, it seemed to cut off entirely too soon.
