Book Description:
Women and construction shouldn't mix. At
least, that is what the client, Mr. Blackwell, thinks when twenty-one
year old Julia D. Halstead is promoted to project manager to convert a
turn-of-the-century schoolhouse into a bed and breakfast. However, the
schoolhouse contains a dark secret that has been hidden for nearly a
hundred years. A secret that will unleash the Furies of Hell and cause
the Angels in Heaven to weep as ethereal brothers, Matthew and Nathan,
battle over Julia's very soul.
My Review:
Twenty-one year old Julia, or (JD likes she wants to be referred to while at the job site) is a strong woman, most of the time. It is always nice to read about a female who is independent and can stand on her own. In Jennifer Hurst's debut novel, Fall, you find a story full of romance and the abnormal. This book would be considered a paranormal, though very different from some of the other teen paranormal books out there. There are angels and demons, and the two groups are in a fight of dominance that we are familiar with: good vs. evil. This book is also a book of redemption and making things right in your life. Themes I enjoy reading about.
As far as the romance in the story, there is plenty! We meet two brothers, Matthew and Nathan, who both are very attractive and are in a fight for JD. JD "falls' for Matthew at the very beginning and I mean fast. Her Grandfather calls her impulsive and it shows with how fast she gets involved with Matthew. I wanted to scream at her to slow down, but Matthew woos her in a determined fashion. JD knows that she should not get involved with someone she works with, Matthew is one of the contractors at the work sight, but she can't help herself. When you read about him you will understand why and how she could fall for this man so fast. Without giving too much away, just know that Matthew and Nathan are not "regular" men. In fact, there are many scary happenings that will involve around these two characters. I was a little spooked by the demons in this story. This book is not for tweens, but more for adults and VERY mature older teens.
I enjoyed reading Fall. The book is made up of short chapters and this book is a quick read. It has 298 pages(paperback form) and less pages(218) in e-book form. There is a little bit of everything in Fall, for male and female readers: action and romance. There is nothing too graphic, except there is talk of implied sex that took place the night before. After reading Fall you will want to hurry and read the next book in the series(which I know is being written) but you will have to wait.
