Zodiac's Fall is the second book in the seventh season series by Luke DeSalva after Ethereal Ascendant, which tells the story and fate of the chosen seven after the great war that ended the season on the Great Dragon.

Jason Ildarachi knew his resolve was breaking, the demon Malifer would soon take complete control of his body, and his humanity would be lost forever. He barely remembered his human life as it was, so he made a pact with the infamous maker to regain his humanity and save his daughter at the expense of his home, Systralas. Suzette Monroe and Codiac Dalin, known as the twin flames, got married after the war and are both receiving visions and dreams about the scion, Sleet, who is lost and being tormented. Lulali, the demigoddess, flees for her life with the help of her mother, Aurora, and the Golden Heart Guild from the grasp of the demons. As war threatens the astral world, what will be the fate of the seventh season and the promise of a peaceful reign? Would it be the end of the twin flames? Get a copy of this book and find out.

I was intrigued by the paranormal setting and storyline of this book. The author included both sci-fi and fiction, thrillers, romance, and suspense uniquely. Ildarachi was by far my favourite character; he was a warrior and lover at heart yet full of strength and resilience. Zodiac's Fall embodies suspense and plot twists so well that I was on the edge till I finished the book. The character development is very commendable. Each character had a quest to accomplish and tried to overcome obstacles along the way.

The negative aspects of this book were the repetitive use of words until they became predictable. The word "cried" was used repetitively when words like exclaimed, stated, said, or shouted could have sufficed. As I went through the editorial aspect of the book, I found more than 10 instances of grammatical errors. This book wasn't professionally edited.

I will rate Zodiac's Fall by Luke DeSalva 4 out of 5 stars. The author's writing style was unique, and it intrigued me. The paranormal settings kept my imagination running throughout the book. However, I found grammatical errors and can't give it a perfect score.

I recommend this book to lovers of sci-fi and the paranormal. A world of magic and celestial beings can do much for your imagination. There are scenes of violence and the use of profanity, so I recommend it to readers over the age of 18.

I am not looking for a series right now. When I am, this one will definitely be on the list for consideration.

The first book seemed to me a well-constructed example of mix between technology and magic. This sequel gives me similar impressions despit the flaws you pointed out, which just need a bit of polishing. I'll look into this series. Thank you for your great review!

As mentioned the book is second of the seventh season series. I hope I can get some time and finish the books in one go as I am too impatient to wait. The mixture of fantasy and fiction would be definitely worth a read.
