First off, this book is pure fluff. If you are looking for something with any kind of depth, move on. That said, it is a very well written bit of fluff with enjoyable characters, an interesting and original take on vampire romance and almost none of the over-done tropes that have killed most vampire romances for me.The plot of this book reminded me a lot of the old Robin William's movie Dead Poets Society. No that this story has anything in common with a movie about a preppy boys school, but because like Dead Poets Society, Rise of the Fallen interweaves multiple plots together. None of the plots are extensively developed (there isn't time) but the interweaving is well done, the 'main' plot is brought to fun and satisfactory conclusion, and the inclusion of the other plots gives the story a sense of continuity, that life goes on even if this book is over.Looking forward to picking up the next book in the series.This book includes some F/m scenes, very light and playful, but skip it if that isn't your thing. Well, I liked it better than the second installment. Yes, I read the 2nd book first, but liked this one much more. There's more feeling behind it, the characters are more relatable and fun to read about and the story also seems to be more developed. Overall it's better but not great. I still don't understand much of this world and their purpose as AKM. This series seems to be more focused on the romantic liaisons and sex anyway so don't expect some great revelation or anything. It was enjoyable and sexy tho. Worthy enough for a free-read for sure.
What do You think about Rise Of The Fallen (2012)?
Sexy! But you need to have an opened mind and like a little kink to truly enjoy!
