A group of angels led by Archangel Prince Anael is known as the Seventh Flight. It has been their job to clean every planet of false idols and to leave them peaceful and calm. However, they had not counted on the Succae, a race of immortal vampires who live on the planet Cerule. Years before, the Seventh Flight had fought many bitter battles with the Succae, which lasted over one hundred years. The Seventh Flight was systematically reduced in number, but the Succae were able to replenish their ranks with freshly possessed bodies. Eventually, this led to an uneasy truce between the angels and the vampires. Azshael is a fallen angel. The rest of his race shuns him because he fell in love with Ischae, a Succae diplomat. Angel Falling by A. D. Landor tells the story of Azshael, who is asked to investigate the murder of a Succae elite on Angel's soil. He soon realizes that the murder is like that of his dead lover. To get answers, he teams up with the Succae's Serrate Lytta, and together, they discover a conspiracy that could destroy the uneasy truce and once again ignite a war, fighting good versus evil. Azshael has enemies on both sides. Will he survive to find out who the murderer is?

I loved so much about Angel Falling. The art used for the cover of an angel in battle armor, ready to fight, is precisely how I pictured Azshael. I particularly liked Landor's writing style; some of the sentences are beautiful and poetic; for example, on page eighteen, "He was the Succae Warlord incarnate, and all around him light diminished as inevitably as the dusk devours the day." A.D. Landor uses unusual names for the characters, which are relatively easy to pronounce. I liked this as it allowed the story to flow well. Landor describes a fantastic fantasy world of angels and vampires that is the perfect environment for Azshael and Serrate Lytta's murder investigation. The diverse mix of characters is well-defined and gives the story great depth. Many plot twists kept me turning the pages to find out whether this unlikely angel and vampire duo found out the truth behind the murders!

There was absolutely nothing that I did not like about Angel Falling by A. D. Landor, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to adults who enjoy fantasy and science fiction stories with the added element of a murder mystery.

I want to give Angel Falling 4 out of 4 stars. Apart from one grammar error, the book was well-edited, well-written, and absorbing. I look forward to reading more books by A. D. Landor.

This is the type of science fiction I like, with the unusual combination of angels and vampires. Added bonus points for a conspiracy, a murder mystery... I will enjoy reading this book.

It seems an enthralling, action-packed war between good and evil is about to break out. Azshael has a lot to do, and I wonder whether the truce will last.
Many thanks for the amazing review.

Angel Falling is a story of conflict, adventure, and romance. These are three elements that make an exciting story to dive into. I can't wait to ride along with Azshaelyou and see what comes of the battle to avenge the death of his lover. Thank you for writing an exciting, honest, and captivating review, Tara! :D

Angels and vampires? Now that is a combination I have yet to read. This is definitely my kind of jam. I am a sucker for plot twists too. I think I might actually pick this up soonish to repay the free book with an honest review.

The story of a murder investigation seems interesting, but the idea of angels and vampires does not convince me to read the book.

The novel tells the story of Azshael, a disgraced angel who is tasked with investigating the murder of a vampire elite on angelic soil. Azshael is determined to solve the case, but he soon realizes that he is not alone in his investigation. He is joined by a zombie vampire named Anya, who is also determined to find the killer. A sweet story for everyone who enjoys a good mystery.

A. D. Landor's novel, "Angel Falling," intricately depicts Azshael's inner conflicts and obligations. The story follows two opposing squads, Serrate Lytta and Azshael, as they attempt to solve the murder of Succae's elite. Does this help Azshael uncover the mystery surrounding the death of his beloved lover, Ischae? With Azshael fighting enemies on both sides, this plot is sure to keep readers engaged and turning pages. Tara Morgan's review is amazing and I have added this one to my TBR list. I congratulate the author on being awarded BOTD.
