Fallen Rebel was the perfect book to get lost in! This was a new to me author. I was in love with the blurb, I love reading fallen angel books and this one didn't disappoint! The storyline was new and exciting, the fictional origin was intriguing. I really loved the book from start to finish. It's not a short story but it doesn't bog you down with details and you don't get lost. It was a fun, sexy, sweet and thrilling read. The characters were Amazing! I loved Cass and his brothers, their relationship was fun and real. Hannah was instantly likable, you connect with her and feel for all she's been through. Cass and Hannah's relationship is really Beautiful...Sigh. Their connection is intense and watching it grow was everything that makes you fall in love. Their passion is all-consuming and they can't get enough of each other. Cass has been watching the Kelly line for a long time, He's just trying to watch his last charge and complete his sentence. Danger is lurking around Hannah and the other charges, plotting, waiting, making his job harder and tension high. I'm very happy with this read, I found a new favorite, I'll be waiting for the other Watcher's books! If you're looking for a read that you can sink into, that gives you all the feels and excitement of paranormal and mystery..this is your book! I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Fallen Rebel, the first book in the When Watchers Fall series by @cgblaine was such an incredible book. I absolutely loved it. It had such a cool story line, something I have never read before.
This book gave me so many supernatural/vampire diaries vibes, it's crazy! And might I add, those are two of my favorite shows!
@cgblaine did such a great job with this. I love the forbidden romance aspect to this, but also, it kinda felt like a slight enemies to lovers romance too. I love that this book wasn't your typical boy meets girl, girl falls for boy, happily ever after romance. I love that she had the characters fighting to stay away from each other, and you could see the inner torment throughout.
Obviously this was a supernatural romance, but it was also sort of a mystery too. I loved the dark aspects of this with demons and betrayal. This book also had a great message of selfless-ness.
Ultimately, I give this book a 5/5 stars because I loved it, and couldn't put it down. Now, this being my first book in this genre, I can honestly tell you, I'm hooked. I can't wait to read the second book about Cass's brother Chaz. And many more books like these.
Fallen Rebel is currently free with Kindle Unlimited, so go snag it! You won't regret it!

2.5 (generous) stars…
Eh. Kinda slow for me. Nearly dnf’d it out of boredom, but I pushed through the dry spell and it payed off. Kinda. Not really.
It was whatever.
Bad-boy Cass is an uber special angel and yet he all but epitomizes the seven deadly sins. But maybe we can write that off as being a by-product of his long-term exposure to humanity. Maybe.
Hannah hardly has a personality, and the personality she does have can basically be summed up by the 3 S’s: getting screwed, spooked, and being scared. Oh, forgive me, 4 S’s. Can’t forget getting saved.
The relationship between them reads as problematic to me, but that ain’t anything new in this genre. Cass’ attitude towards Hannah is vaguely hedonistic, exploitative, and kinda a turn off, but it gets better about 60% of the way through. Unfortunately, that’s also when the Blaine gives up on preserving the writing quality completely.
To be fair, there was some plot besides sex and a sprinkling of character development. I’m not religious so I can’t speak to what degree the author took religious liberties, but I imagine she at least had to invest some time into researching, so A for effort?

This book was simply phenomenal. Let me start off by saying I didn't 5 star it because I legit loathed the drama with Hannah. I understand why she did what she did, but it killed me and it's still too fresh to get over it. I also thought the climax was a bit bland compared to the work-up to it.
Other than that, this book was more than I imagined. The background of the story was unique and so well told. The writing was well-developed without being overburdened with too much info.
Cass was fantastic. I loved everything about him from his dirty mouth to his alpha-protectiveness. It's not often I actually get jealous of book boyfriends, but damn, I want my own Cass.

I was not expecting to enjoy this book so much. I've always loved fallen angles specially ones with a different take on angels, demons, and nephilims. It took a while for me to get into the story, but within a few chapters I was addicted to Cass. He's the perfect brooding rebel angel. I can't wait to read the next book.
Cass is a watcher, and he can't get into heaven unless his last charge, Hannah, dies of natural causes. With a threat to Hannah's life, Cass and all his secrets are exposed to her, and the closer the threat gets the closer they become. Falling in love was never part of Cass plan to get back into heaven, but he's ready to spend forever with unless the treat kills her first.
This book is an easy read that is hard to put down. The plot has action and a bit of suspense that keeps you intrigued the entire time. The love between Hannah and Cass is extremely steamy. They were the perfect balance to each other, and I loved reading about it. I do wish their love story started sooner though. I'm definitely excited about the next book.

Once again CG Blaine has left me in awe of her talent. I LOVED Fallen Rebel, and the paranormal world that Blaine has crafted is fascinating and immaculate. Unique enough to be fresh and authentic, but familiar enough to allow for full reader immersion into the plot without feeling foreign or uncomfortable. I was able to settle seamlessly within the story, connect deeply with the characters, and fall in love completely with the entire book. I’m giving 5 stars to Fallen Rebel, and I am adding the rest of the series to my mental TBR. I need more of this rowdy bunch of rebel angels, and I cannot wait to get it.
Cass is a watcher, a fallen angel tasked with guarding an entire bloodline of nephilim until they die of natural causes. Only when the last one dies naturally can Cass return home, to heaven, as an angel. Hannah Kelley is the last nephilim charge standing between Cass and his eternity. If he can get her safely through her lifetime, his task will be complete and his duty fulfilled. Hannah is nothing to Cass but a job. She is simply an annoying burden keeping him from his forever…until she isn’t.
Cass is PERFECT, and I am obsessed with him. He’s everything I could have hoped for in a fallen “don’t call me a guardian angel” angel. His broody attitude and snarky wit had me hooked from the first line, and he is sexy AF. I mean COME ON, who doesn’t love a sexy alpha angel who shows a vulnerable caring side and isn’t afraid to fall in love? I want a Cass. I’m serious. He’s dropped his ass right to the front of my book boyfriend harem and will likely stay there for a while.
And Hannah Kelley? I love her sweet and sassy personality. I love how she put herself back together after being broken, and how she is no-nonsense and fearless in the face of a challenge. The girl might seem quiet and unassuming, but she’s no stranger to pain, and she can handle quite literally anything that life throws at her (including scorching demon fireballs). She’s strong AF, and I am amazed by her.
This book had everything I love. It made me feel all the feels, it made me think, it kept me on my toes, and it was HELLA SEXY. The hero and heroine were perfect, together and separately, and the secondary characters were just as dynamic and intriguing as the main characters. I’m already salivating over the thought of the next connected standalone in this series. CG Blaine is officially on my one-click list. She’s such a talented storyteller, and her writing style is flawless and flows beautifully. Fallen Rebel is another perfect example of her creativity and skill.
Gaaaaaaah, CG Blaine, how are you so good? And where can I get a Cass of my own? I give Fallen Rebel 5 stars, and I need to own it in ebook and paperback and I will possibly get a tattoo of Cass’s name, too. Because I floved it.
