Falling Hard by J.K. Coi

Falling Hard by J.K. Coi is about a famous rock star who has had a hard life and has played hard. Throughout his life he has had to continually battle his inner demons to stay humane. One night after a successful concert, his best friend is killed while he was saved by his guardian angel, Amelia. She witnessed and fought in the battle to save his life. Because Gabriel is now under serious attack by a faction of angels that have gone bad, Amelia must stick close to him in order to keep him alive and keep the secret that lives in him concealed. The more time they spend together, the more the attraction they feel towards each other grows.


It took me quite a while to complete this review because I did not enjoy this adventure and it was difficult for me to write this. The plot sounds very exciting and engaging; and to a certain degree, it was. However, the best thing I can affirm is that Falling Hard by J.K. Cod had a strong finish. Nevertheless, getting there seemed to take forever. The hero and the heroine did not engender a connection on any level for me. I am not sure if it was the delivery of the story. If you enjoy paranormal romances about angels, you should give this book a try. You might enjoy it more than I did.

The Keepers by Monique O'Connor James

The Keepers by Monique O’Connor James is story about coming to terms with doxology and a person’s standing in what life offers as a result of God’s providence. The story is imbued with Jess’s struggles to understand why everyone she has ever loved has been taken from her, especially her mother. After the death of her mother, Jess moves to New Orleans at the behest of her brother to pick up the broken pieces of her soul and move on with her life.

Jess has always had a gift of sighting the angels that guard her. Because of this gift, she becomes in involved with a group of angels who have given up their right to live in heaven to live on earth and watch over humanity and keep them safe from the the angels that have fallen and are more demonic in nature and motives. Jess quickly develops a close relationship with Justin who is the most jaded of the group when it comes to his feelings for humanity. As their relationship progresses, Jess and Justin’s attitudes fluctuate and rock the foundation of their core beliefs.

The premise of this story is a noble try a enticing the reader to stretch their own existentialism. My problem with the story was the constant struggle Jess kept heaping on herself which, in turn led her to taking it out on Justin. Jess did a lot pushing Justin away and then sucking him back into her life. I became very weary of the back and forth of their relationship and Jess’s treatment of someone she supposedly cared about very much. Her actions detracted from my complete enjoyment of the story.

There was a lot of potential for actualizing my commendation of the novel; but, it fell short of my expectations because of the lack of connection I felt towards Jess and the frustration she caused me while reading The Keepers. There are many other readers out there who found this book to be more enjoyable than I did and I recommend you read the story for yourself and come to your own conclusions on how the story affects you.

In Angel Thief, Jenny Schwartz creates a short story about compassion and redemption sprinkled with a little bit of lovin’. This paranormal romance begins with Sara, an angel, stealing into a library of a drug smuggler to find a book that holds an anecdote to cure a little boy with life-threatening bone illness.
