No longer able to contain the anger simmering within, Az summons his dark powers and attacks, determined to protect this innocent human from certain death. Only Jade Pierce is no delicate flower. She's spent years learning to survive and fight the evil forces sent by her ex-lover who refuses to let her go. But after seeing Az in action, she figures she could use a little supernatural help. And so she plans a course of seduction guaranteed to arouse his interest and his angelic passions Azrael is a fallen Angel of Death and he is looking for a way to redeem himself. He happens upon a woman named Jade who is cornered by some shifters in an alley. Thinking that if he saved her he will be forgiven and earn his wings back. Jade is not a week woman. She is on the run from her ex boyfriend who is a crazy shifter and is after her. He has already killed her family and is consumed with making Jade his mate. First he must punish her for leaving him. Azrael is confident that he can defeat the shifter but is he strong enough to keep Jade away from Bastion the new Angel of Death. Angel in Chains in the third in The Fallen series and can be read as a standalone. I do feel you would enjoy this book a little more if you read the first two books first. Not only are they both enjoyable, they give you some interesting insight into who Azrael is. I have to admit I did not like him very much in those books so it really surprised me how much I was drawn into his and Jade's story. This is a wonderful series and I hope Ms. Eden continues writing more books for it. Here at Walmart. Your email address will never be sold or distributed to a third party for any reason.

Oct 27, Lillie rated it it was amazing Shelves: arcs , reviewed-at-novel-thoughts , , tearjerkers , awesome-angst , anti-heroes. My expectations were high going in and I am so happy to say Jade and Az exceeded those expectations. Jade is a fantastically flawed heroine. She's made massive mistakes in her life that led to lives lost. Now all she wants is a chance to live her life free of her psycho ex and she's willing to use Az to get that. But from the beginning, she can't fight her attraction to him. Az has never understood why other Fallens give in to temptations of the flesh until he meets Jade. She awakens feelings he's never experienced and this virgin hero wastes no time in making up for those lost centuries. He's hot, badass, protective, and surprisingly sweet. Both of my favorite quotes are from Az. She's only expected heat and hunger. Az never wanted her to know the truth about him. He wanted her to keep looking at him like he was a hero. Like he was a protector. A man she could count on. A man she wanted. Not a monster she feared. This was such a fantastic romance! I can't recommend it enough!

Brandt was the typical alpha-hole of many a paranormal; except in this one he wasn't the "hero," but the villain and he's is considerably more violent. I was mainly referring to the "it doesn't matter what you want, you're MINE! Don't worry, he gets what's coming to him. At first, Az and Jade's relationship is about using the other. It develops into something more. I can't put my finger on what my issue was with this book, except I just wasn't feeling it. I did enjoy the first 2 books. Something that came out of this one: maybe falling isn't a punishment, but a new opportunity. Apr 15, Sofia rated it really liked it. Review to follow!!!!!

Jul 02, Megan Fall rated it it was amazing Shelves: favorites , cynthia-eden , shapeshifters-warewolves , angels , all-time-favourites. I love the main characters in these books, and there is always tons of action. Really looking forward to the next one. Sep 25, Nessa rated it it was ok. He's the kind of guy most people would love to hate because he's a fun sucker. So it was super exciting when he got a taste of his own medicine and fell to Earth. I guess I understand that the author wanted to pair him with the most vulnerable species of all - A Human, to teach and show him that being almighty isn't the answer the everything. Being strong means being able to love, care and protect the lesser ones, which Az didn't give a damn about when he was an angel. In this story, Az stumbles around his new emotions although it wasn't terribly profound Despite all the passion I still found his character to be a little clinical. I'm not really into Jade's character. I wished she had been painted more innocent I don't know, maybe the author is trying to portray her as kick ass at least for a human, but when first introduced to her I just didn't connect with her at all. She's like the least attractive heroine in terms of personality compared to Seline and Nicole. It was a bit of a letdown and somehow a bit repetitive with the plot. Apr 12, Jamie Stephenson rated it it was amazing. I really enjoyed this one. Brandt is a twisted psycho with angel blood that's chasing Jade but you kinda end up feeling sorry for him. Things have been heating up with The Fallen making it dangerous to be around them. Evil shape-shifters and a few others have discovered that they are indeed vulnerable and the greatest weapon against them actually is part of them. Grudges and disagreements from their time as angels tend to spill over after falling. Add in the possibility that angels are compatible AND viable with other species potentially passing on some of their paranormal strengths and weaknesses. Az has not had a very enjoyable time since he fell. First he lost some of his memories along with his wings during the fall. Then he was almost killed by a witch before he was able to regain complete control of himself, his powers and his situation. As this story opens all Az really wants is to return to Heaven. This means he has to do something as a form of redemption to earn his wings back before he becomes corrupted by the mortal world. When he sees Jade in danger he decides that maybe rescuing her would solve all of his problems. The panther shifters are a rather determined bunch and far more scared of their Alpha than of Az despite his ability to grant death with a simple touch. Az had to do some serious work towards his redemption because it required more than just actions but a mental shift as well. I loved seeing Az realize that he had feelings, that feelings were OK, and in fact feelings are a good thing. I also liked how his feelings showed as he tried to protect Jade from experiencing physical harm in their dealings with witches and Others. Az also had to make some tough choices about his future. Jade was interesting. The very nicely evil villain was still after her and he made a point to painfully kill anyone who helped her. I liked how even though she needed help she was going to sit back and play damsel in distress. She was going to play a significant role in not just surviving but winning her complete freedom from the panther pack. Their personalities were so different from the previous heroes and heroines yet they all fit together nicely once they started cooperating with each other. I liked how it took several of the good guys to ultimately bring down the villain. Eden did throw in an incredible twist that had me gaping and wishing I could read faster so I could figure out how I was going to get my HEA. Sneaky author… I ended up really enjoying that because it solved a few things yet left the door open for others. I continued to learn new things about this world even after reading at least three different series set in this world, which I thought was wonderful. The setting has not become stagnant for the reader or for the characters. The unfallen Angels of Death tend to be something else. Some but not all of them lack compassion and instead seem to feel almost a hatred towards the Fallen. While other Angels of Death play by the rules and suffer for it because they are dealing with a world whose original rules have been broken but no one gave them the updated version. Once again Eden provided an entertaining, engrossing, action filled story. I continue to look forward to each new release with the same sense of anticipation. I giveAngel in Chains a A Nov 13, Christine Jalili rated it it was amazing. Azrael Az is a fallen angel. He thinks he can use Jade so he can return to Heaven. Can fate be changed? What an amazing book and kept me on edge until the end. I had some happy tears in the end. I highly recommend this book. Repetitive dross. This inability to trust the reader to remember the premise of the story makes for some dull reading. I enjoyed this, although it was a little slow getting into it. Probably because it's the third in a series and the first one I've read. Once in however, there were no problems moving along. The storyline flowed quite well with no hiccups. Well done. Aug 29, T K rated it it was amazing. Jun 04, Monikat rated it it was ok. Again, too long. Good story, not all that great writing, too much going on in the writer's head. Very good story. Very interesting read to see how the struggle of two brothers of Az and Sam go through, and As decisions to stay in earth. Jade is being attacked in an ally by her ex-shifter boyfriend, a real psycho piece of work, Brandt. When Az steps in and saves her, his plan is to use her for his own personal gain, but she wants to use him and his strength to take down Brandt once and for all. What starts out as a relationship based on this uneasy distrust, turns into quite a bit more when Az starts to experience feelings for the first time as a fallen angel and Jade sees in Az someone much more than just a means to kill Brandt. I actually had a bit of a hard time getting into this story. It ended up being a bit of a letdown and almost a non-issue. His one goal is to get back to heaven and it felt like something was missing with regards to his story. But after the hell that Jade has been living in over the past few years with Brandt, now having Az on her side and helping her, I even felt relief for her to finally have someone on her side and strong enough to help her fight the evil in her life. Brandt is horrible. We get to know a couple more angels in a little more in detail, one was dealt a horrible blow and the other was always there in the background, with his death touch ready. I also liked the role that Sam played. He shows up and while his relationship with his brother Az is strained, I liked their scenes together and Sam sees a new side to Az that will only help to mend and move their relationship forward. I overall liked Angel in Chains. I did like the relationship between Az and Jade and even though he was a horrible, bad guy, Brandt added an evil layer that had me curious to know what he was going to do next, or who was unlucky enough to be caught in his path. I like the introduction to a few new characters and the set ups for future books in this world. Nov 14, Stephanie rated it liked it. No remuneration was exchanged, and except as noted all opinions expressed herein are my own. And so she plans a course of seduction guaranteed to arouse his interest and his angelic passions… NetGalley. If someone can figure out how to write BDSM practicing angels, watch out! Cynthia presents Azrael as a centuries old angel of death, fallen for some reason that was probably apparent in one of the first two books. He's pretty smart, with a heck of a temper. In the ways of love, well, he's been unmated for millennia so there he is a bit naive. Jade is something of a paradox. She's not a "bad" girl, but circumstances have put people she loves in harm's way. She's cynical, tough and weary. The remaining cast are interesting, not the cookie cutter characters. Even the villainous Brandt has a complicated personality. And there are several surprises. The plot is well timed with great flow. There's rarely a dull moment and event event pushes the novel forward. There's much in the way of hot action both fighting and you know what.

But, like the post title says, Cynthia has a unique voice. When I reviewed another book by her last week, I thought it was more about "telling" and not "showing. It is a sort of omniscient stream of action and thought. As if we are looking through a window in the forehead of each character. But we can see inside and out; both what the characters think and believe and the action as they perceive it. But, we also get the sensory input and emotional content so we also get the "show" part. It feels hurried, though — as if Cynthia were writing at warp speed. I read an interview with an editor once who said the first thing he looked for in a manuscript was voice. Much can be changed in editing, but voice is the quality that makes an author unique -- to change it is to negate the artist's personal vision. In this way, I am coming to understand Cynthia's style as her personal voice. It is different from what I am accustomed to and what I have, most of my reading life, understood as the way things should be written. Should is an awful word to use in reference to any form of artistic expression. To be fair, I know I cannot write fiction in any style, I am used to reading — a different style, but it is becoming clear to me that a different type of writing is becoming popular. I would like to know your thoughts on Cynthia's unique style. Several excerpts are available on her website. May 29, Dark Faerie Tales rated it really liked it Shelves: reviewed-by-kristie. Review courtesy of Dark Faerie Tales. You will not want to put down this book. Opening Sentence: Living in hell sucked. Angel in Chains is the third novel in The Fallen series and finally gives Azrael his story and a lover. He did redeem himself. His love interest, Jade, is who made the book for me. Azrael comes across Jade as she is about to be beaten and or kidnapped by a group of thugs. These thugs are shapeshifting panthers and are on orders from her ex-boyfriend to bring her back to him. Az is looking for a fight and has no problem jumping in. Brandt is crazy about Jade and very obsessed. He will do anything to get her back. He makes an excellent bad guy. Jade has been on the run from her ex-boyfriend for many years. Every time she gets comfortable that she has gotten away from him, he finds her again and kills the men she settles down with. She has had enough and this time, it will end in his or her death. Jade did drive me batty in the beginning. Az also has to deal with a world ending prophecy that ties into Jade. Angel in Chains is a dark and sexy book. The action is constant — stopping only for Az and Jade to have some fun - before moving on to more twists and turns. The ending took me by surprise. Overall, if you are a fan of dark, sexy paranormal reads then you really should check out this series. Az fills in enough hints to understand his story. When his stare returned to her face, Jade tried to smile. We know of the moment that we must take them with our touch. Never hesitated even once. Not like Keenan.

Oct 08, Lucy Dosch rated it it was amazing. Azreal was an Angel—The Angel. Az was in charge of the Angels of Death. Except that was before—before he fell for trying to take a soul that was not on his List. Now Az is a fallen angel looking for a way back. He will use her helplessness to his advantage and earn his wings back. Jade knows that Azreal is more than the average Other and he might just be what she needs to save her from her ex. Her ex-boyfriend is no ordinary stalker. He is the Alpha of a pack of panther shifters and he believes that he and Jade are destined to be together. He has killed her parents and anyone else who Jade has tried to get close to while she has been running from him and his vicious pack for the last ten years. If she can get Az to kill Brandt, Jade can finally stop running. Action packed and exciting with an ending that had me out of mind. I am amazed when an author can take the antagonist from one book and make him the hero in the next, and I actually like him. Azreal was determined that Keenan kill Nicole so he could return to heaven and when Keenan refused, Az was determined to take her soul himself. Azreal fell because Nicole was no longer on the List and he was just chasing a personal vendetta against her for tempting Keenan. Once Angels begin feeling emotions just like humans, they cannot successfully do their jobs anymore and end up falling. Sam and Az have been enemies of a sort since Sam fell a millennium ago. Sam has been on earth growing wealth and power. All the Others know to be afraid of Sam, but even Sam is weary of the power that Az holds in check. Sam is cool and confident as a powerful man would be, but Az is cold and uncaring as a VERY powerful man would be, one who knows there is no one more dangerous around. She has been the first woman to tempt him from his mission to return to heaven. There is a set up for the next book and I am excited to see how that next story plays out. Readers also enjoyed.

The Fallen series | NovelCom

In accordance with 3 Enoch , al-Kalbi AD — AD named three angels descending to earth, and he even gave them their Enochian names. He explained that one of them returned to heaven and the other two changed their names to Harut and Marut. Rather, the stories about fallen angels are related to a rivalry between humans and angels. In the Divine Comedy — by Dante Alighieri , fallen angels guard the City of Dis surrounding the lower circles of hell. They mark a transition: While in previous circles, the sinners are condemned for sins they just could not resist, later on, the circles of hell are filled with sinners who deliberately rebel against God, such as fallen angels or Christian heretics. In John Milton 's 17th-century epic poem Paradise Lost , both obedient and fallen angels play an important role. They appear as rational individuals: [] their personality is similar to that of humans. The first portrayal of God in the book is given by fallen angels, who describe him as a questionable tyrant and blame him for their fall. Unlike most earlier Christian representations of hell, it is not the primary place for God to torture the sinners, but the fallen angels' own kingdom. The fallen angels even build a palace, play music and freely debate. Nevertheless, without divine guidance, the fallen angels themselves turn hell into a place of suffering. The idea of fallen angels plays a significant role in the various poems of Alfred de Vigny. He seeks refuge with his beloved on Mount Ararat , hoping that his angelic father will save them. But since he does not appear, they are caught by the flood. She hears about a male angel, expelled from heaven, whereupon she seeks to comfort him, but goes to perdition as a consequence.

He refuses to prostrate himself with the other angels. However, their ethereal body, similar to the Christian notion of fallen angels, would allow them to climb up to heaven to obtain knowledge, thus passing secret information to soothsayers, a concept corresponding with the Greek Daimon. The Quran also refers to the belief of jinn , trying to climb up to heaven. As Patricia Crone points out, one of the characteristics of fallen angels is, that they fall from heaven, not that they try to get back to it. Grabbe calls the story of the sexual intercourse between angels and women "an old myth in Judaism". Further, he states: "the question of whether the myth is an interpretation of Genesis or whether Genesis represents a brief reflection of the myth is debated. The majority, of course, take the view that they are sinless. They start from the Quran and refer to individual verses that speak for it, such as 6 and Hasan is counted among as one of the first representatives of this doctrine, but he obviously appears to be one step further than his contemporaries: he did not settle for the verses that speak for it, but tried to reinterpret the verses that speak against it differently.

But it's not so much love as it is lust, and the male demons and fallen angels seem to only have these affections for women. Early scholars declared that since not even fallen angels would lust after their own sex, there was something very fundamentally wrong with humans who did that. The role of fallen angels is to tempt in the most horrible and basest of ways, and even they wouldn't tempt other men. Cue centuries of persecution. If you think about it — really, really think about it — there's nothing in our contemporary version of things that suggests there's really any kind of punishment for the fallen angels that joined Lucifer from his descent from the heavens. Sure, there's a hell, but they're not exactly at the mercy of all the demons there Not quite. According to the Jewish Virtual Library , the seven archangels counted the punishing of the fallen angels among their heavenly duties. Each one of the archangels was in charge of particular facets of the otherworldly life: Jeremiel, for example, keeps watch over the souls in the underworld, while Michael protects Israel, Gabriel is the overseer of Paradise, and Uriel leads the host. They're the ones with direct access to God, and they're also in charge of punishing the fallen. Punish how? Take Azazel, who was the one who taught mankind how to make weapons. According to the Watkins Dictionary of Angels , he was punished by Raphael, who put him in chains, threw him in a pit full of sharp rocks in the middle of the desert, and brought the darkness down on him while he waited for his condemnation after the final judgment. Sounds like a grand ol' time. Birds of paradise are a species from New Guinea and the nearby islands, and they're so breathtakingly beautiful, they don't look real. But beauty in the animal world comes with a devastating price — National Geographic says their feathers were so prized that hunters nearly drove them to extinction. When those birds were first seen by European eyes, they were already dead and dried, with legs and wings removed. The Public Domain Review says it wasn't until the 16th and 17th centuries that explorers and traders brought the birds to Europe, so unsurprisingly, people had a tough time trying to decide just what these lifeless things were. They had no doubts that they were something special: the earliest arrived in , and were said to have come from a "terrestrial Paradise" and, in spite of the feathers, they supposedly never flew. It's no wonder that it didn't take long before the birds were described as angels — fallen angels that had lost their ability to fly, and instead lived in the magical, mystical world that was the Far East. They became mythologized in religious texts, works of art, and allegories as beautiful, ethereal beings who had clearly done something terrible to lose their wings. In the early 17th century, naturalists got a hold of other birds, ones with their wings and legs intact. The fallen angel mythology faded a bit, but they've long remained a symbol of the flightless fallen. Few modern-day cultures are as closely tied to their ancient traditions as Ireland, and consequently, everyone's familiar with the idea of the fairies and the fae folk that have inhabited the Emerald Isle since time began. But Irish fairies aren't of the typical flowers-and-glitter sort — and one of the theories as to where they came from is that they were originally fallen angels. Legends say that these particular fallen angels were less guilty than the ones that actively opposed God, and were sentenced to an eternity in the most remote places on earth: some were cast into the ocean and became merfolk, some went underground to become goblins and trolls, while others were sent to the harshest areas of the countryside, and became leprechauns via Texas State University. The other theory of fairy origin is that they were once ancient heroes and deities who ceased to be worshiped and began to fade into creatures of lesser power, but Yeats says there's a lot of support for the idea that fairies could trace their lineage back to fallen angels. Most telling of all was their behavior: they were always said to be good and kind to those who were good to them, but would unleash hell on earth to those who were evil or disrespectful. Fallen angels are something of a consistent, running theme throughout numerous religions, which brings up a question: why have we so regularly told stories of them, and why have we been so fascinated with them? First, they give us an answer to why we sin, and why human evil exists. It's not our fault, not entirely, at least, but it's the fault of the fallen angels we were corrupted by. And it's nice to have a scapegoat. They also explained why mankind continues to sin — because we're still being tempted by them — and at the same time, they present us with something surprising: hope. If sin and evil is the cause of the fallen angels, when the ultimate battle between good and evil comes, there's going to be a redemption. Everyone loves a good redemption story. And, there's just one more thing. The presence of these angels gives God an out because now, He's not the one that's behind sin and temptation, disease, hate, or any of the other approximately one million evils present in the world. It's those pesky fallen angels, and having them take a prominent place in religious beliefs means people have someone besides God to blame for all that's bad. Ever start to think that it's mankind's vanity and sense of self-importance that's going to be the end of us? That's not a new thought and in fact, one of the first things fallen angels taught us to kick-start our own fall from grace was vanity. Originally, New Dawn Magazine notes, it was said that there were fallen angels that headed to earth to cause some serious havoc. At their head was an angel called Lucifer, Azazel, or Lumiel, and he's the one that taught men how to make armor so that, you know, it took a little more effort to kill each other. But he taught the women something too: how to use cosmetics and specifically kohl, a black eye product popular since ancient times. He also introduced them to the idea of jewelry like bracelets and rings, and how to use their finery and their feminine wiles to seduce men. And this, says Dr. It's also the reason for an age-old practice in numerous religions: the tradition that women needed to cover themselves, lest they tempt the men around them. Even St. Paul was a huge supporter of the idea that women needed to cover their hair, and we can all thank fallen angels for that one, too. Surely, fallen angels will have to pay for all this trouble they've caused mankind There's one fascinating tale that says at least one already has — and we see him all the time. Shemyaza is another name given to the leader of the fallen angels, although researcher Andrew Collins notes that at some point before the Book of Enoch , Shemyaza and Azazel or Lucifer became two different angels. At any rate, it was Shemyaza who taught men the art of magic, and along the way, he also meets a mortal woman named Ishtar. The story varies in the telling — sometimes, it's said Ishtar was already a Babylonian deity when he fell in love with her via New Dawn Magazine — but either way, she promised him a little bedroom action if he would just let her in on one little secret : God's true and hidden name. Other versions via The Manitoban say that she pestered him until he let her try on his wings. He, of course, caves to her demands and she uses her newfound knowledge — sometimes she uses it to ascend into the heavens, sometimes she uses it to turn from a mortal woman into a deity. Whatever the details are, Shemyaza pays the same price: he's sentenced to hang for an eternity, upside-down, among the stars. He's still there, as a constellation in the night sky, although we more commonly call him Orion. Their story is a little different than that of, say, Lucifer, as they didn't consciously decide, "Hey, the heck with Heaven, this evil stuff seems pretty fun. God overheard it and, declaring that angels would fare no better in the face of the same temptation, selected Harut and Marut to go to Earth and try to resist. They absolutely couldn't: They were immediately seduced by a human woman and then killed the man who'd seen them with her. Harut and Marut were forced to admit that they'd been wrong, and they were allowed to choose their punishment. Still, humans occasionally visit them in search of knowledge: It's said they gave Genun the Canaanite musical instruments, beer, and iron weapons, although most of the people who go to see them are looking to learn magic. Fallen angels are usually rebelling against God, right? But here's the weird thing — according to Founding Gods, Inventing Nations , that's not always the case: Sometimes, they fell with God's permission. Qur'anic texts suggest that God and the fallen angels are essentially in cahoots, working to prove which humans are good and which are evil. And it started way back with Iblis: When God casts him down, he asks for permission to lure humans away with the promises of evil and sin. God percent gives it — Iblis is the one that's ultimately also known as Satan, and in spite of the fact that Iblis is full of constant mockery and backtalk, he's only allowed to do what he does because God says it's okay. And he does a lot — even convincing mankind that the worship of idols is a good idea is all his doing Other fallen angels — like Harut and Marut — pass on knowledge of magic and gifts that promote sinful behavior to mankind, but they, too, are doing so with God's leave. What's in it for God? It's a handy way to separate the true believers and the faithful from the wicked and sinful. Dante's view of the world we're all destined for is nothing short of terrifying As Dante is escorted deeper and deeper into the circles of Hell by his guide, Virgil, he sees the punishments that await sinners of all kinds. And the fallen angels are there, too — they're guarding the walls of the City of Dis.
