Blood And Feathers by Lou Morgan
Dec. 25th, 2012 09:13 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
”What’s the first thing you think of when I say ‘angel’?” asked Mallory.
Alice shrugged. “I don’t know … guns?”
Alice isn’t having the best of days – late for work, missed her bus and now she’s getting rained on – but it’s about to get worse.
The war between the angels and the Fallen is escalating and innocent civilians are getting caught in the cross-fire. If the balance is to be restored, the angels must act – or risk the Fallen taking control. Forever. That’s where Alice comes in. Hunted by the Fallen and guided by Mallory – a disgraced angel with a drinking problem he doesn’t want to fix – Alice will learn the truth about her own history … and why the angels want to send her to hell.
What do the Fallen want from her? How does Mallory know so much about her past? What is it the angels are hiding – and can she trust either side?
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Lou Morgan’s debut fantasy novel is a fresh and modern take on the war between heaven and hell that plays with morality, keeps the action moving and ends with a great set-up for the second in the trilogy. There’s a great pace to the action and a suitably dramatic conclusion, which gives a great set-up to the next book in the trilogy, which I will definitely be reading.
