FALLEN Descendants Saga Book 1 edition by James Somers Religion Spirituality eBooks

Few disclaimers first: I usually do NOT buy Religious Fiction books. The few that I have read in the past are too heavy on the scripture/religious part that made it impossible for me to read them. I found this book for Free on ereaderiq.com and decided to give Religious Fiction another chance. Figured---hey, it's free and it has more than just angels and demons so why not? This is not an "inspirational" religious book, and although not listed as such book I figured I would mention it since another reviewer was disappointed in this.

My usual books tend to be non-religious more on the horror/supernatural side, so it was difficult for me to get into the book. I didn't take off stars for this (usually I do) because I know the fault lies with me and not the writer. I read several 150+page books while deciding to finish this one or not (bounced from this to other book, would actually finish others before returning to it.)

The story centers around Brody, a 17 year old who just arrived in London and has a less than pleasant welcoming to the city. Actually, all hell breaks loose for a boy who is extremely sheltered in my opinion. I think part of the reason I had a hard time getting into the story was how the father acted and spoke to Brody when they first arrived in London. If you get the sample you will read what I am talking about---their initial walk through London did not have me picturing a 17 year old boy but instead a kid under 10.

It took me 60% of the book to really get into it---and looking back I see that everything that was 'boring' or 'mundane' to me needed to be there in order to truly appreciate the rest of the book. Once I got over the 60% mark I had to finish the book and am looking forward to book 2 and 3 (already out). I will be checking them out through my Prime account, as I believe $3.99 for a smaller file size book than book 1 is a bit expensive.

I am glad I took a chance and would definitely recommend this book for $1.99 or less.

FALLEN Descendants Saga Book 1 edition by James Somers Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews

I am not a writer or a professional reviewer so I am not gonna go on forever. Basically this author does a great job presenting this for free and on format, especially considering he's indie. The story has a strong Christian element without being "preachy" which made it easy to enjoy and identify with. Most people long to be unique, special, more powerful, etc..that is why certain series (like Harry Potter) do so well. This book also utilizes that longing to keep readers enthralled. I am about 60% finished with this first one and will be purchasing the second in about 10 minutes. I would like to thank the author for letting me read this for free and for creating a professional novel without mistakes on the kindle.
Having been kicking around an idea myself for a fantasy/"monster" type story that also has a role for God in it, I was thrilled and impressed with this author's tale. Although my plan is slightly different, I found encouragement in seeing what he has put into a story form. It is a well-crafted, nicely paced story, of which I am somewhat envious, but it would benefit from some editing; too much misuse of words (for example "dyer" when he meant "dire") and too many punctuation errors--especially with commas and/or the lack thereof. But, WOW! what a story--and the mechanics are simply annoying to me because I'm an English tutor--not because they detract from the story at all. A great read!
This author has done an excellent job showing just how good bad can appear to be. He has used a part of The Bible that not many peoploe have read or even know about, that being "saw that the daughters of men were beautiful and took wives for themselves...". Then bring together with that the fight between good and evil, include Vamipoers and Werewolves, throw in Elves and Humans (well maybe Humans) and don't forget Angels.This book ends with a question and it is well written enough that it dares you to continue the stroy. I would recommend this Fantasy book to anyone. It offers a fresh and different look into the Realm of Fantasy.
Really loved this book, the whole series was great and I can't wait to get into the follow up series RAGE! This author, a former pastor, writes a great book that honors God without being preachy. As a Christian myself I love that I can read a book without needing to skip a lot of sex and foul language. These books would make great family reading, for those with older kids. I think it is great to find such a great author AND to be able to read a lot of his work on Unlimited for a basic fee rather than buying a lot of books that I won't likely read more than once. Of course, I may well buy this series and the follow up as I do often read books more than once if I like the author and James Somer is one of my faves.
I've been a fan of James Somers since reading "The Chronicles of Soone" several years ago. I've found all of his books to be action-packed page-turners. With "Fallen," I feel that his writing has reached a new level of impressiveness. His characters are richer and more nuanced than before. A good example of this is "Charlotte," a vampire acquaintance (and semi-friend and partial ally) to Brody. She, in fact, becomes even more interesting in the next book. And Oliver James is very cool!

My one nit-pick is that the main protagonist, Brody, is supposedly seventeen. Yet, at the beginning of the book, he's acting and behaving much younger than that. Still....I got pretty attached to Brody at the beginning of the book, especially given what happens to him shortly after arriving in London.

I would also say that this book is a little dark. There's much more evil than good in this one. And the circumstances, at times, are pretty grim. Still, it's very absorbing. Once I got into it, it was very hard to put the book down. I finished it in a day. I'm now halfway into Book 2.

This is definitely worth your time, especially if you at all like fantasy fiction.
