The Bottom Line: Voted the year’s best paranormal thriller in the 2024 BestThrillers.com Book Awards.
In the year’s best paranormal thriller, author Jolene D. Campbell has created a world that that feels entirely new. Fallen Angel brings the mystical world of Japan’s Shintoism to life, blending myth, magic and romance into a riveting tale.
The book itself is a fully sensory experience, filled with rich character descriptions, a map, evocative illustrations, a glossary and more.
In Fallen Angel, tensions between the gods, Izanami and Izanagi, have peaked and the war to end all wars has begun. Tenshi, a Death Angel and servant to Izanami, is sent to the human world to torture a young woman named Emica.
Within moments of his arrival on the surface, everything goes wrong. Injured and with no way of returning to his place of origin, he is forced to face the stain of his existence and failures, including his newfound feelings for Emica.
Failure to carry out his duties will result in his own death.
In a last ditch effort to save Emica, Tenshi makes a deal with one of the head angels to stop the war between the gods. But this plan does not guarantee Tenshi’s salvation, even if war is stopped.
With the girl he secretly loves by his side and doom hidden around every corner: can Tenshi save the world, Emica, and his own soul before the apocalypse?
