Falling by Linn B. Halton

Falling: Angels Among Us book 1 – HarperImpulse paranormal romance novella by Linn B Halton

Ceri thinks she sees angels…everywhere. She struggles to keep separate what feels like two very different sides to her life. As a manager in an advertising company she’s been working with the gorgeous Alex for two years. The have a friendship based upon the image she portrays whilst she’s at work and it helps to keep her sane. One mad, crazy night spent sharing their secrets and a lot of wine result in them ending up in bed together and their relationship changes. When Alex explains that the reason he doesn’t date is because someone broke his heart, how can Ceri admit that she feels a deep connection to him?
Ceri knows she’s different. What she doesn’t fully appreciate is that her task in life is to correct a series of incidents that alter the course of many of the people's lives with whom she comes into contact. She’s simply putting right little errors that could ripple outwards and change the course of their destiny. However; when she finds herself getting pulled into things that happen around her, how can she prove that she really has made a difference? Is it all in her head?
She's alone for a reason; she's not meant to fall in love in her earthly life. Alex is supposed to cross paths with her and help Ceri during a phase where she begins to question the signs she’s being given. It's meant to be a turning point for them both—but in opposite directions. They are destined to travel very different paths…but Ceri doesn’t know that and neither does Alex…
“No one chooses to see angels, why would they?”

This is a romance story that explores the possibility of there being something more than just the ‘here and now’. If that were the case, how would it work? What keeps us on the path determined for us, when we have free will? How would the spirit world link with us as we go about our lives? Love is a powerful emotion, but can it change the course of someone’s destiny? Ceri is ‘Falling’...

My Review
This really is a charming tale of one woman's 'battle' with something she doesn't feel able to talk about with others. It's her ability to see what she calls 'angels'. Fallen is just a short read, very easy to get into and I found myself eager to know what would happen next. However I didn't really develop a deep connection with the main character, perhaps because I had little time to do so? There were times when I was a little confused, Alex's explanation as to why they shouldn't be together, for example. But maybe that's just because I've got flu-brain at the moment!
The ending, somewhat of a cliffhanger, definitely left me wanting more so I can certainly say I enjoyed it. Perhaps my connection will happen when I read the next installment in the series? I hope so, because this is my kind of book, especially considering I've always been intrigued by psychics and mediums and so on. A really good read!
