Fallen by Rebecca Zanetti

Amazing read, with lots of banter and a great spark between the main characters. There’s a lot of suspense as well, with plenty of conspiracies and secrets to obfuscate matters and challenge Raider and Brigid. Hardly anyone is quite who they seem, be they the designated good guy or bad guy. All the characters are well-written and a little, or even a lot, quirky, each in their own way which makes the story so much richer.
With so many different plot twists and a great many interesting secondary characters whose own budding romances are slowly being introduced, the focus sometimes shifts away a bit too much from the main couple. They have a lot of magic on page but I’d have liked them to have had a bit more time to really get to know each other and learn to trust. Trust and honesty, due to circumstances, is not exactly in abundance when it comes to this couple or even their group of friends in the Deep Ops unit. At the end Raider and Brigid’s relationship progresses a little too fast to my liking though, the HEA bow tied too swiftly and neatly to get to the required formulaic ending.
