Humanity is at the mercy of Fallen Angels in Grein Murray’s
new book ‘His Fallen Angel’. Alexander,
a relatively young angel (as angels go), is sent by the elder angels of heaven on
a mission to find out what the Fallen are up to in Philadelphia. Dastardly plots and secret meetings have
Alexander falling into the terrifying clutches of the enemy – the followers of
Apollyon, better known to us as Lucifer. Without
the help of Roman, a fallen angel with a conscience, the inexperienced angel is
doomed.
This story is a blend of innocence and naivety, deception
and danger, and the learning of trust. A
love story promoting justice, devotion, sacrifice and redemption within the
bounds of the struggle for humanity between Grein Murray’s new and fallen
angels; it is a consummate romance with a HEA.
Skimming over the unpleasantness of Alexander’s time in
captivity, the story dwells more fully on the quickly developing relationship
between Roman and Alexander and their journey of love and self-discovery. As a couple they were sweet and more than a
little flirty. The author treated the
subject matter with understated humour, eliciting from me a few soft chuckles.
I could wish for greater knowledge of the internal struggle
within Roman, the pull of his original nature, the fight between good and evil,
and the redemption gifted because despite everything he overcame it. And I could wish the fallen were depicted as eminently
more gruesome, wanting to hate them, to really feel the terror of them. But this speaks more to my disposition than
that of the overall tone of this story – a Bacardi Breezer as opposed to my G
& T.
A short story the narrative was well-paced, if a little
cursory, and suffered from a double entry of chapter four in my kindle version,
but was a charming and simple story of love, trust and acceptance.
