"The Fall from Grace" follows Christian, Sam, and Gabriel. The prologue introduces us to war. Constantine, described as the local druid holy man, and Dafyd, the clan chieftain, led their men to war against the savage hordes they had been trying to ward off since the colony formed. We are introduced to Christian, whom Constantine had taken in after his parents died. The book continues, and Christian is on a mission to eradicate evil and free the world from the grip of evil. Rafeo, Quintus, and Mabus came into the picture. Rafeo introduces his quest to find the Guardian, who had been missing for a very long time. Grab this interesting thriller by Michael Richardson to find out what happens next.

This is the type of book you look forward to reading a sequel to. The author left me on a cliffhanger, seeking answers and more. What happened to Mabus? The storyline was mind-blowing. Right from the prologue, there was a lot of suspense. This element of suspense kept me engaged throughout the book. The revelations were always unexpected. For instance, I never saw the shocking relationship between Quintus and Rafeo coming. The author had me guessing wrongly about who the Guardian was throughout the book. On the structure of the book, I loved that the book is quite legible with bold fonts. I appreciated the author's storytelling, as it kept my interest piqued throughout the book.

On the flip side, this book has a lot of errors. This, in turn, caused quite a lot of breaks in between readings for me. I would suggest the book go through another round of editing to make it error-free. Then I noticed a lot of profanity in the book. Although I did not find this an issue, I believe it may affect some readers. Subjectively, I believe it would have been more enjoyable with fewer profanities or minimal profanities.

I removed a star from my rating due to this editing issue. I would rate the book four out of five. This book can be appreciated by everyone, but people who love supernatural thrillers would enjoy it most. I also recommend it to fans of contemporary fiction.

Thank you for your thoughtful review. It sounds like there is a lot going on to keep the reader interested. Good storytelling always helps, although a pet hate of mine is a good story being ruined by errors. I’m sorry this led to you having breaks between reading - not what a reader wants.

A supernatural thriller that uses some classic elements of good vs. evil to create a suspenseful story can be really interesting, so I hope the author does proper proofreading to avoid distractions while reading it. I'll look into this series. Thank you for your great review!
