My Fallen Ashlyn Mathews 9781440562310 Books

With some unique twists to the usual "slayer" plot, Ms. Mathews novel, My Fallen intrigued me from the get-go.

The book has created some fascinating ideas about those who are less than (or perhaps more than) human. For instance, people who are changed to vampires have a period of time during which they may potentially be changed back. It's short -- seventy-two hours -- but a great idea (and the basis of this book, actually, as Xavier and Elise wouldn't have met if not for this).

The author has given a huge set of conflicts, both internal and external, to keep our hero and heroine apart and it was difficult for me to imagine they'd be able to overcome them all.

I admit, I didn't like Xavier at first. He was exceptionally blunt and crude to Elise when they first met and if I'd been Elise, I'd have most likely smacked the smug look of his face and then slammed the door on any interaction with him. His initial behavior didn't endear him to me in the least. But don't worry ... he does some growing and changing as the book progresses and eventually becomes someone I could get behind Elise falling for.

I liked Elise right off. She's smart, strong, loyal and determined. This is why her reaction to Xavier didn't ring true to me, at least not at first. She had every reason to dislike him intensely, but it takes no time at all before they're groping each other and getting naked. I admit, I'm a fan of lots of sexual tension build up before things get physical, so this part of the novel frustrated me some. However, the Fallen are apparently very sexual beings, so as I got to know Xavier and Elise better, I could understand it a bit more.

The plot was truly fantastic, though. It's a complex world the author has built and populated with exceptionally realistic characters. I'd be hard pressed to name the secondary character I liked best, though I am pulling for Drake to have his own book next.

I spent much of the book wondering who was bad, who wasn't, what information was correct, and so on. We have lots of information to process, plenty of action (in and out of bed) and a storyline that reels the reader in and holds on tight. Ashlyn Mathews is a new to me author, and I'm so pleased I opted to review this book. If she continues on as she's begun, this book series will be stunning. My Fallen is sure to please any paranormal romance fan, especially those readers who like their books hot!

I absolutly loved this book! It had a fresh outlook on vampires, had you constantly trying to figure out who were the good guys and who were the bad guys, and had a short and sweet romance. Other then a few minor editing errors it was great. Looking forward to more from Mrs. Mathews
Hot, hot, hot!

This is a smokin' hot, sexy paranormal with plenty of action and suspense that's really well written. I completely enjoyed reading it from beginning to end, and was intrigued by its premise. More, since the fallen are exceptionally sexual beings, this book has no lack of steam.

I really enjoyed meeting Elise. What a great heroine! She's the strongest slayer out there (partly due to being half fallen), but sticks by her brother even when it looks like his business is going down the tubes. I admired her staunch loyalty. It was very admirable. She's the kind of woman most of us would like to be sexy, smart, independent. She has her flaws (temper being the worst one), and struggles with recurring nightmares, but I really think she was just a great character.

It took me a bit longer to warm up to Xavier (or "X"). He comes of domineering, pushy and crude at first, but once we get some of his POV and climb into his head awhile, he becomes much more sympathetic.

Loved the story, loved the secondary characters and really enjoyed all the various, believable conflicts this author brought to the book. Very well done.
