This new series is a far cry from The Black Dagger Brotherhood Series we are used to from Ward. Ward is a good writer. I enjoy her work but this story seemed to fall flat somehow. It was interesting but I had trouble in the enjoyment department. 
 I believe the hero of the story is Jim Heron who seems to have a shady covert background but ends up dying on a construction site. He is then sent back to save the souls of seven people who will determine the fate of us all. 
 Jim is interesting but not overly so. His relationship with Eddie and the other fallen angels reminds you of the BDB but isn't at all the same. Dog is pretty cute and a good addition to Jim team though I have to wonder what is really up with the little dog. I have to wonder if Jim's soul will be the last to be saved though I believe not. I do wonder if he will have more of a bearing on all this than we believe. 
 Vin and Marie-Terese's story in this book was really good. I liked the dynamic and that while Vin's power could easily help Marie-Terese that that isn't the solution she is seeking. I like both characters and really enjoyed when Vin meet Robbie. 
 I did think the Fallen Angels series was going to be about Lassiter or those like him. I suppose it still could be but it doesn't feel like it which is mildly disappointing. I did like that it started off in Caldwell. 
 Overall the book was interesting but not overly so. I would say this book is worth borrowing. I don't know if I'll be keeping it because it the rest of the series is great then I will need this book.
