Fallen by Alyssa Rabil is a novel that left me with mixed feelings. The premise of this narrative is good. I’ve come to really like paranormal stories with Sapphic romance mixed in. I also like reading about characters that in some way are damaged, but find their way to healing and/or redemption, especially with the help of another in the tale. Fallen addresses both of those really well. I pretty much fell for the main characters, Oriana the half human, half angel, and Andy Black the trapper. Some of the secondary folks needed more work on their characters. They seemed a bit one dimensional.
The book needed to give the reader more backstory than was mentioned. I got a bit confused with the angels and demons in the story and how they were able to exist in our world. This might have been explained with more history.
The romance between Andy and Oriana is sweet, though I would have loved to see a bit further into their future. The novel has a bit of an open ending which does give the author the chance for future books with these characters in this world. I would be happy to read more of Andy and Oriana’s story if another one is written.
I received an ARC from NetGalley and Bella Books for an honest review.
